The Tipperary Antiquarian: Hearth Money Rolls

In the Hearth Money Rolls 1665
The following names were recorded in Ballymalone (Beg & More) townland (Ballymallooery Vill).

Hugh	Hicky
Roger	McTeige
Rory	Durick
Connor	McShane
Morrogh	Mullooney
Donnogh	Durick
Mahowne	McDaniell
Dermott	McTeige
James	Shamrogg

There doesn’t seem to be a 1666-7 addon / additional return.

Generally the first name in a townland seems to be the most important landowner. At least that is my impression so far. So interesting rather than a Malone it is a Hickey that is listed first.

Hugh Hicky is the first name listed in the townland and would have been Gaelic Irish. There are two Duricks in the townland, Rory & Donnogh.

There is a Morrogh Mullooney and he may be the “Malone” in the townland. Maloney / Moloney & Malone I think are likely to have been recorded in various similar forms in the half-barony.

Roger McTeige, Conor McShane, Mahowne McDanniell & Dermott McTeige are all likely to Gaelic Irish and carry another surname eg Roger McTeige Hicky or Mullooney.

One of my favourite surnames in the Hearth Rolls is James Shamrogg. Rather than being linked to the the Irish symbol the Shamrock. It may in fact be an English name - https://www.libraryireland.com/names/s/seamrog.php

The next available "Census" for the area is the Tithe Appointment Books 1824. However I couldn’t find the Ballymalone townland in it.

In the later Griffiths valuation there is a large number of names recorded between Beg & More.
