Civil Survey Notes - Oakhampton



Oakhampton

There isn’t an individual Civil Survey (CS) entry for Oakhampton. Firstly Oakhampton used to be called Colevacke (and its many variations). There is however an entry for Macnigh which is the modern Mackney and just to the south of Oakhampton.

Also in CS entry for Macnigh there is a

Rory Ryan of Culebacke (Gent)

William Oge Ryan of Clonebricke (Esquire)

 

So it looks like we are in the right area.

In the Hearth Money Roll for Oakhampton there is no Rory Ryan recorded but there is an Owen Ryan.

The explanation for this is the a Rory Mc Daniel Ryan was listed for transplantation. In Simingtons Transplantation to Connacht pg 113 -  Ryan, Rory Mc Daniel; of Colebracke in Tipperary is recorded as being due to receive land in Boyounagh in Ballymoe in Galway – 400acres.

One interesting thing to note, in the HMR 1666-67 there is a Daniell McRorye.

Could he be Daniell son of Rory Ryan (McRorye) who was Rory son of Daniel (Mc Daniel)? So if Rory Ryan was transplantated or died before the HRM, did his son live on in the area?

Ryan continue in the area until the 1911 Census but there is nothing we can do at this remover to link them with the Ryans from the CS / transplantation decree.
