Civil Survey Notes - Castlecrannagh

 

Castlecrannagh

The following were recorded in the Civil Survey in

Castlecrannagh

John Roch of Killnacrannagh Gent

In Crannagh we find

Richard late Earle of Corke

These are adjacent townlands so we will deal with them together.

John Roch of Cranagh

He is an Irish Papist.

Joch Roch is also listed in Kilmcstully with the following description.

“The sd John Roch Proprietor of one pld In Kilmcstully in fee by Descent from his ffather Thomas Roch. who purchased the same from Kenedy mcMahowne Inheritor thereof about the yeare 1610 (as wee are informed).“

In Crannagh he is listed as follows

“The sd John Roch Proprietor  in fee by purches of his Rather Thomas Roch (as wee are informed) from Teige mc. Therlagh Duffe of the sd. pid of Killnacranagh long before the Rebellion.”

Next we find him listed for transplantation to Connacht in Simington’s Transplanation to Connacht. He was to be transplanted to the Barony of Ballymoe and the parish of Templetogher. There are 4 Roches listed in the parish in the Griffiths Valuation with very small holdings.

However we then next find a John Roch in Gortmore in the Hearth Money Rolls.

In later records for the area there aren’t any Roches in Castlecrannagh (or Kilnacranna or Gortmore).

Although there are Roches in Griffiths Valuation in the wider Arra area. 

We also find in Simington that a Dermot Hogan of Cranagh was listed for transplantation to Connacht. He is listed to go to Boyounagh Parish in Ballymoe Barony in County Galway. There are no Hogans in the Griffiths Valuation in that parish.

There is a Denis Hogan in the Tithe Applotment Books in Castlecranna and a John Hogan in the Griffiths Valuation but none in the 1901 / 1911 Census.
