In the Hearth Money Rolls 1665
The following names were recorded in Coonmore townland (Cownmore).
Phillip |
Ryane |
Derby |
Glissane |
Feilim |
Riegh |
Dermtt |
Ryane |
Patrick |
McLosgane |
There was no return for 1666-7.
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 one of only 4 possible Ryans as the
head landowner in the townland, namely Philip Ryan.
It seems to be a Gaelic dominated townland with Gleeson,
another Ryan and two surnames I’m not completely sure of Reigh and McLosgane. There
was a Reigh recorded in the HMRs in Castletown in Arra. I’m not sure of Mc Losgane, it could even be
McLoughlin.
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.

There aren’t any distinctive surnames in the 1766 survey that correspond.
There are 2 Phil Ryans and 1 Philip Ryan.
The next available "Census" for the area is the
Tithe Appointment Books 1826 (it is actually included in Limerick)
None of the Hearth Money Names appear.
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) but Coonmore isn’t in it.
In the later Griffiths valuation (see picture), unfortunately none of the
surnames carry on from the HMR.
The 1901 Census
https://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Tipperary/Arington/Coonmore/
There are two Ryans but both listed as servants. No other HMRs surnames.
And 1911 Census
https://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Tipperary/Abington/Coonmore/
Again a few Ryans but listed as servants.
This townland started off with a Ryan as the main landowner
but they seem to have been replaced by possibly Careys and Caplis’s.
My own analysis of the rolls highlighting the Owney records.
