Civil Survey Notes - Attybricke

 

From - The Civil Survey A.D. 1654–56 vol. ii, county of Tipperary western and northern baronies - Irish Manuscripts - available to download here


Attybricke is mentioned a number of times in the Civil Survey but doesn’t get its own entry. I think it may be included as part of Ballysynod which is a large area of almost 1000 acres.

In it is recorded a

Teig Ryan of Attybricke

He is said to own

“The sd Teige Ryan of Attybrick pprietor. of one colpe acre & two thirds of a colpe acre by descent from his Ancestors.”

In Simington’s Transplantation to Connaught a Teige O’Mullrean of Athybricke is scheduled to be transplanted to Killokennedy (Lr.) Kilmurry.

In Penders 1659 census there is a Teige Ryane gent recorded in Killogenedy – Hillegy.

In the Griffiths Valuation for Killokennedy there are a number of Ryans.

Including two in Killeagy –

One a Benjamin Ryan renting 122 acres from a John Sampson. So it would be interesting to hear from his descendants.

By the time of 1901 census there are still Ryans in Tilleagy .

Including two Benjamin Ryans.

And the same in the 1911 census.

There are no Ryans.

In the Griffiths Valuation for Attybricke there is one Ryan.

In the 1901 Census there are still Ryans

And in 1911 also.

So there were still Ryans in Attybrick into the 1911 census.

We can’t know for sure if Teige O’Mullrean was transplanted to Clare, however it is interesting to find Benjamin Ryan in the locality where he may have been transplanted to. 

So any descendants of the various Benjamins that continued down into the 1911 census would definitely be worth a DNA test to see where they originated from.

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...
