In the Hearth Money Rolls 1665
This townland took a bit of figuring out as you can see by the various names it previously had.
The following names were recorded in Knockadromin townland (Queildrumni / Cnocknednimin / Killdromina).
| |||||||||
| |||||||||
There is also 1666-7 addon / additional return.
Mahoon | Hogan |
Teige | O'Bryan |
Edward | Howell |
Mahoone | McTeige |
Donnogh | O'Bryan |
Generally the first name in a townland seems to be the most important landowner. At least that is my impression so far.
In this townland this rule doesn’t seem to hold true. Edward Howell is listed first in 1665 but 3rd in the 1666-67 return. Mahowne Hogan is listed last in 1665 and 1st in 1666-67.
Donnogh O’Brien is also listed in both returns. Howell is likely to be an English settler surname. Edmund McWilliam is an unusual name, where he is likely to be from I’m not sure. The rest seem to be of Gaelic origin with Tuohy, McKeogh, O’Leary & McTeige (linked to being the descendant of someone living nearby, for example Teige O’Brien).
The next available "Census" for the area is the Tithe Appointment Books 1824.
O’Brien / Brien is the only surname that continues from the Hearth Money Rolls.
In the Griffiths Valuation (see picture) the name Brien continues.
In the 1901 census

The name Tuohy reappears in this return but he is a Cattle Dealer staying at Hayes’s home. O’Brien is no longer recorded.
In 1911,

No names from the Hearth Money Rolls remain by 1911.

The following names were recorded in Inchabeg townland (Inchibegg).
Dermtt. | Halloren |
Owen | McDaniell |
Generally the first name in a townland seems to be the most important landowner. At least that is my impression so far.
Only two names and both seem of Gaelic origin.
The next available "Census" for the area is the Tithe Appointment Books 1824 but I don’t have access to it for this townland if it exists.
In the later Griffiths valuation (pictured), the Hearth Rolls surnames do not appear.
In the 1901 census
https://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Tipperary/Ballina/Incha_Beg/
& 1911 none of the Hearth names reappear.

These last few townlands show that it is not a given that surnames continue down through the records.

In the Hearth Money Rolls 1665
The following names were recorded in Inchamore townland (Inchamore).
John Hicky
Connor O'Mallowny
Owen Ryane
James Hicky
Connor Malloony
Danniell Hicky
Donnogh Fenagh
Generally the first name in a townland seems to be the most important landowner. At least that is my impression so far.
This seems to remain a very Gaelic townland with Hickeys, Moloneys, Ryans and the last name Fenagh (I’m not sure of the origin / what that name would be today)?.
What is very interesting about this record is that it seems to record the occupation of one of those recorded.
Connor Malloony is recorded as a Brogmaker or shoemaker. Other than those that own a Kiln or Oven this is the only occupation that can be determined from the records.
The next available "Census" for the area is the Tithe Appointment Books 1824.
In this we have Hickey and Ryans.
In the later Griffiths valuation (pictured), these two names from the Hearth Money Roll names are represented.
In the 1901 census
https://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Tipperary/Ballina/Incha_More/
Hickeys and Ryans remain.
In 1911
https://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Tipperary/Ballina/Incha_More/
Hickeys and Ryans are still there. Although both common names in the wider area. Ryan in particular is less common in the half-barony of Arra and so both are certainly worth further study to see if they have links to the Hearth Money Rolls.
