There was no 1665 return.

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

We have McSkidy as the main surname. I’m not sure about it, I wonder could it be McSheedy and then son of Sheedy? A possible English settlers is the surname Roger. The rest seem to be Gaelic or Anglo-Norman. There is an O’Gara, Bourke, O’Meara, Hourigan, Clancy, O’Hea, Canny, Gleeson, Roe & McKeogh.   There are a number of Mc / Oge surnames.  These are likely to be descendants of someone else rather than surnames in their own right eg Donnogh McRory might actually be Donnogh son of Rory Ryan for example. Similarly FitzEdmund could be a surname in its own right or son / descendant of another Edmund.

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 are 4 O’Mearas, 8 Hourigans, No Clancy, No O’Hea, No Canny, No Roe, No O’Gara.

The next available "Census" for the area is the Tithe Appointment Books 1827. There is only one HMR surname and that is Bourke.

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 these we have the HMR surnames of Bourke, Gleeson, Hourigan & McKeogh. Canny actually be Kearney?

In the later Griffiths valuation (see pictures); Bourke & McKeogh feature. Could O’Gara (Geara) be Guerin (Geeran)?






The 1901 Census

https://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Tipperary/Newport/Rossary_More/

Bourke & McKeogh continue.

And 1911 Census

https://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Tipperary/Newport/Ballymackeogh/

https://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Tipperary/Newport/Rossarymore/

Bourke & McKeogh continue from the HMRs.

Really interestingly both Bourke & McKeogh continue in the townland from the Hearth Money Rolls to the 1911 census.

If you are related to either of the families here, it would certainly be worth trying to tie together. Ryans are associated with Ballymackeogh but it is interesting to see there are no Ryans there in the Hearth Money Rolls (unless they were “hidden” Mc Ryans).

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.
