The Tipperary Antiquarian: Hearth Money Rolls

In the Hearth Money Rolls 1665
The following names were recorded in Cloneybrien townland (Cloanjbrind / Clone Bryan).

Marews	Bryen
Mathew	Bryen
Teige	O'Minoge
Wm	McEgane
Thomas	Leneger
Conor	O'Currine
Bryan	O'Bryen
Rory	O'Flanury
William	O'Birrin

For Cloneybrien there seems to be 2nd return or maybe an add-on in 1666-67

Recorded are

Marcus	Bryan
Teige	Minoge
Daniell	Casie
Edmund	Kenedie
John	O'Howrane
Connor	O'Courneene
Kenedy	Bryan
William	McEgan
William	Banane
Noreen	Ne Tane

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

So Marcus O’Brien is listed first in both and so must be of importance. However Marews / Marcus is the only of that name recorded in the half-barony so you would wonder if it is a correct first name.

Teige O’Minogue is third on the 1st list and 2nd of the 2nd list so again maybe of a higher than average rank. William McEgan appears on both lists also. We have a Conor O’Currine / O’Courneene. The exact surname for that today I’m not completely sure, possibly Curran?

There is the unusual surname Leneger and also an O’Byrne. In the 2nd list there is a Kennedy, Horan, Casey, Flannery, O’Brien and possibly a Bannon? One of the few ladies recorded is in this townland Noreen Ne Tane. Again I’m not certain of the surname there. We also have the interestingly named Kennedy Bryan or O’Brien.

The next available "Census" for the area is the Tithe Appointment Books 1824 – I only have a scan of this from the Mikie Joy archive.

Surprising considering they were broadly Gaelic surnames, only Minogue is still there in the Tithe appointments (There are a few I haven’t been able to transcribe, if you can please put them in the comments). So it is a possibility that Teige and Michael could be of the same line.

In the later Griffiths valuation none of the Hearth Money Roll names seem to reappear and Minogue also drops out of the townland. (See pictures)
