Hearth Money Rolls - Coolnadornory

 



In the Hearth Money Rolls 1665
The following names were recorded in Coolnadororny (Cooldornory) townland

John McDonnogh

Daniell McLoughlen

Daniell Hogane

James   McKeogh

Donnogh McCormuck


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.

This townland seems to be predominately Gaelic surnames. We have McDonagh, McLoughlin, Hogan, McKeogh & McCormack / Cormican.

The four Mcs here are more than likely to be regular surnames rather than sons or descendants of someone else in the townland.


The next available "Census" for the area is the Tithe Appointment Books 1826. Surprisingly given the Gaelic nature of the Hearth surnames here, none carry through.

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

 

In the the Griffiths valuation (pictured) none of the Hearth Money Roll names reappear.

 




Similarly in 1901 (Keogh does reappear but is listed as a servant).

And again in 1911 (no Hearth names)

My own analysis of the rolls highlighting the Arra records.
