Civil Survey Notes - Doonane

 

Doonane

Downane appears to be todays Doonane. In Downane the following are recorded in the Civil Survey;

Connell Ryan of Downane Gent

Edmond Ryan of Downane Gent

Rory McOwen Mc Cragh of Downane Gent

Daniell mc Phillipp mc Cragh of Curraghduffe

 

There is no clear-cut link between this Civil Survey record and the later Hearth Money Rolls. However one possibility is that Edmond McTeige is in fact Edmond Ryan in the CS and that his father was a Teige Ryan.

Is there any link between the Connell Ryan and Conor Ryan? The names do some slightly similar, could it be a transcription error. The only thing that could be argued as evidence is that Conor Rian has two hearths which would suggest he has a better class of house. Could this be evidence of him being a “gent”?

There are Ryans (Including Teiges and Timothys, could they be anything to that potential Edmond McTeige Ryan?) in the later Records such as the Griffiths Valuation and 1911 Census.

There is also interestingly a Honoria McGrath in the Griffiths Valuation, could she be a descendant of the McGraths mentioned in the CS?
