Hearth Money Rolls - Curraghtemple

 


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

John

Lambfry

Donnogh

O'Curmuk

Patrick

White

 

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

John Lambfry is the first name and to me it looks to be a name of English origin. Next we have Donnogh O’Curmuk and this seems to come from the McCormack / Cormican surname. Lastly we have Patrick White, this name could be English or could be an Anglicisation of Bán.


The next available "Census" for the area is the Tithe Appointment Books 1824 – the townland is wrongly listed as Curraghtanfill.

None of the Hearth Money Rolls names survive.


Similarily, in the later Griffiths valuation none of the names resurface. (See picture)



 

In the 1901 Census we find the following https://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Tipperary/Youghalarra/Curraghtemple/

In the 1911 Census we find the following

None of the Hearth Money names resurface so we don’t know what happen to them. There are no Lambfrys or similar names recorded in the Ormond Historical Societies burial registers for the wider area.

My own analysis of the rolls highlighting the Arra records.
