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.

Its hard to know with this location. The first two surnames are Mc surnames. These forms of Mc surnames are likely to be descendants of someone else rather than surnames in their own right eg Conor McOwen might actually be Conor son of Owen Ryan for example. Oge is probably similar as well. There were Connells, Caseys, Hogans, Moroneys, Hughes, Salmon and Reigh, all surnames of Gaelic origin I think.

An interesting name is Langile, could this be Langley? Langley is likely an English settler name but they aren’t the major landowner in the area.  

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.

1766 Census for Kilnarath.xlsx

There are no Langleys, Hughes, Salmon or Reigh in that census. There are 3 Connells in the 1766 Census, 5 Caseys & 1 Moroney.

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

There are no HMR surnames unless Moloney has morphed from Moroney or vice versa.

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).

Other than the possibility of Moloney / Moroney, no other HMR surnames.

In the later Griffiths valuation (see pictures); Casey reappears from the HMR and there is also a Moloney.

 


The 1901 Census

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

 

No Casey this time but still a Moloney.

 

No HMR names.

And 1911 Census

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

 

Again no Casey but still a Moloney. If Conor Moroney in 1666-7 is in fact a Moloney then you have the surname surviving in the townland until the 1911 census.  

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.

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...
