Rorane
The following is recorded in the Civil Survey
John Roch of Killnacranagh Gent
Dermott O Bryen of Gortmore, Gent
Both of these purchased their share of the lands. One from
Teige mc. Therlagh Duffe and the other from Donnogh Grany O Byren.
Both of these two landowners I think have been conclusively
located in the Hearth Money Rolls (both we scheduled to be transplanted but both
managed to remain around.) Interestingly both are located in Gortmore.
Could this holding at Rorane have been what binded them?
In the HMR for Roran there is also a Dermot Byren. If he
wasn’t already located in Gortmore you would probably try to suggest it could
be him. There is also a Donnogh O’Birne. Could he be Donnogh Grany O Bryen
mentioned as the former owner?
An O’Brien appears in the Griffiths Valuation leasing over
200 acres which would be fairly substantial at the time.
However there are no O’Briens in the 1901 or 1911 census in
the townland.
