There was no return for 1666-67.
Generally the first name in a townland seems to be the most
important landowner. At least that is my impression.
So in this case we have Ls Richard Waller. He is definitely
an English settler and it is after this family that townland is renamed to
Castlewaller.
The surnames Rock and Knight are inconclusive but neither
are likely to be from the area, whether they are English settlers name in this case
I can’t say.
Bourke would be an Anglo-Norman possibly related to nearby Castleconnell
and O’Brien and Ryan are both Gaelic surnames.
There is the 1766 census available for the general area but unless
someone has a very distinct surname it is nearly impossible to make any kind of
connection.

In this case there is an Edward Waller, gent who may be a descendant of this Hearth Money Roll Waller.
There is also a Terence Byran.
The next available "Census" for the area is the
Tithe Appointment Books 1824
Strangely Waller does not appear in this townland in the
Tithe Appointments. There are no sign of Rock or Knight either. The surnames
Ryan, O’Brien and Bourke do continue in the townland. Unfortunately, all three
surnames are so common that it is impossible to make any connection.
However we do have a Terence O’Brien (Terence is the English
form of Tirlagh) and a William Ryan.
There is also an 1835 census available for the Parishes of
Newport and Birdhill (transcribed by Hugh Sweeney of Newport Historical &
Archaeological Society in Newport News).

In this list Terence O’Brien is listed again. Bourke is listed
and there are 13 Ryans listed. Wallar / Waller is also listed. In total there are 75 people listed in the
townland as heads of families.
In the later Griffiths valuation (see pictures), Wallers, Ryans, O’Briens and Burkes continue.
The 1901 Census
https://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Tipperary/Kilnarath/Castlewaller/
Waller, Ryan and O’Brien continue.
It could be a coincidence but the name Terence O’Brien is
recorded in 1901 as head of a family in the townland. There is also a William
Ryan, head of a family, but this would be a much more common name I’d imagine.
And 1911 Census
https://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Tipperary/Kilnarath/Castlewaller/
Waller, Ryan and O’Brien continue.
Again there is a Terence O’Brien – likely the son of the 1901
Terence. There is also a William Ryan.
So Wallers continue in the townland down to the 1911 census.
With a rare surname such as this, they are highly likely to be the descendants
of the Wallers in the Hearth Money Rolls. The other surnames (O’Brien and Ryan)
are much more common and as such difficult to connect. However the fact that
Terence O’Brien is a name that is carried down through the various records is
really interesting. Are there any descendants of this Terence alive today?
As a later exercise will also try and look at the Civil
Survey – Transplantation records – Hearth Money Rolls but I think I will keep
that as a separate exercise.
My own analysis of the rolls highlighting the Owney records.
