Hearth Money Rolls - Ballykinlalee

 

Created by Derek Ryan

In the Hearth Money Rolls 1666-67
The following names were recorded in Ballykinlalee townlands (Ballikenielly).

Thomas

Winford

Kennedy

Bryan

Owen

McDonogh

William

McDermod

 

There was no return for 1665.

 

Generally the first name in a townland seems to be the most important landowner. At least that is my impression.

So in this case, Winford. Winford is likely to be of English origin. The rest of the surnames are likely to be of Gaelic origin ie O’Brien & Mc surnames. These are likely to be descendants of someone else rather than surnames in their own right eg William McDermod might actually be William son of Dermot O’Brien.

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 isn’t any Winford or variations in it.

The next available "Census" for the area is the Tithe Appointment Books 1827

No HMR names. (As an aside there is a Lauce Anglesee and I wonder could he be related to John Anglee of Newport / Foxhall Puoryne Bryen)

  

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 Ballykinalee is not recorded.

In the later Griffiths valuation (see picture), no HMR surnames.

The 1901 Census

And 1911 Census

No HMR names.

I 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.

Hag Stones, are they an example of authentic Irish folklore or a neo-pagan import?

By Darkone CC BY-SA 2.0 The first time I ever heard of Hag-stones was this year. They are more commonly known as Adder stones and described on wikipedia as follows: " An adder stone is a type of stone, usually glassy, with a naturally occurring hole through it. Such stones have been discovered by archaeologists in both Britain and Egypt ."  In Britain they are also called hag stones , [1] witch stones , serpent's eggs , snake's eggs , or Glain Neidr in Wales , milpreve in Cornwall , adderstanes in the south of Scotland and Gloine nan Druidh ("Druids' glass" in Scottish Gaelic ) in the north. In Germany they are called Hühnergötter ("chicken gods"). In Egypt they are called aggry or aggri . Adder stones were believed to have magical powers such as protection against eye diseases or evil charms, preventing nightmares , curing whooping cough , the ability to see through fairy or witch disguises and traps if looked at ...

The Origins of the surname Ryan

NOTE: This is currently a work in progress and I ask for any feedback on what I have written. Ryan is one of the top ten surnames by population / number of people in Ireland. It would be nice if there was a simple explanation as to the meaning of the surname Ryan, unfortunately to my knowledge there isn't. The most likely explanation is that it goes back to a King or Chief of Idrone circa 900AD named Rian or Rien. It was around this time that the Irish began taking on surnames and it may be that it was after him his descendants began to be called, O or descendent of Rian. We are not sure how or when exactly the O'Mulryan name came about. It is likely that it means "descendent of the followers of Rian". However, this is not certain. We will see further down in this article that the genealogies suggest they are both descended from the same ancestor circa 900AD. Although other evidence does contradict this. Just what Rian means is not known for sure. Explana...
