Civil Survey Notes - Gortnaskehy

 

Gortnaskehy

The following two are recorded in the Civil Survey

Bryen O Bryen of Curraghmore Gent

Loghlen O Hogane of Gortnaskehy Gent

We don’t find either of these specifically in any other records. However in Simington’s “Transplantation to Connaught) there is a Melaghlin Hogan of Gormaskehy listed for transplantation to Boyounagh Parish in Ballymoe Barony in Galway. There were no Hogans recorded in this parish in the Griffiths Valuation. (I think this is most likely Gortnaskehy in Arra although there is also one in Owney).

I think that Melaghlin and Loghlen may be variants of the same name, so this might be the person.  

In the Hearth Money Rolls there is a Donnogh Hogane in the same townland. We have no way of connecting any of these Hogans unfortunately other than their surname.

The surname Hogan carries on in the townland with the Griffiths Valuation but is no longer recorded in the 1901 / 1911 census.
