Hearth Money Rolls- Castlecranna

 


In the Hearth Money Rolls 1665
The following names were recorded in Castlecranna townland (Castlecrannagh).

Alex       Ovington

William Cormuck 

James   Mullane

There is no 1666/67 return.

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

Ovington is likely to be a surname related to an English Settler. McCormuck / Cormican and Mullane would be Gaelic surnames.

The next available "Census" for the area is the Tithe Appointment Books 1826

Unfortunately none of the Hearth Money Roll names feature.


In the later Griffiths valuation (pictured) again no mention.

The Hearth Money Names don’t resurface.
