Hearth Money Rolls - Fiddane & Gortnaskehy

Image
  Created by Derek Ryan In the Hearth Money Rolls 1665 The following names were recorded in Fiddane / Gortnaskehy townland (Ballyvowne). Edmond Barry Teige McOwen Marten Genene Michaell Russell Wm. Ryane   There was no return for 1666-7. Generally the first name in a townland seems to be the most important landowner. At least that is my impression. So in this case we have an Edmond Barry, possible an old Anglo-Norman name. Russell is another name of Anglo-Norman origin. We also have   Ryan and a Mc surname, possibly a descendants of someone else rather than surnames in their own right eg Teige McOwen actually be Teige son of Owen Ryan.

Created by Derek Ryan In the Hearth Money Rolls 1665 The following names were recorded in Farneigh townlands (Farneigh & Killyn). Wm. McMorrogh Donnogh O'Tuohir Derby O'Tuohir Connor O'Tuohy   There was no return for 1666-67.   Generally the first name in a townland seems to be the most important landowner. At least that is my impression. So in this case, Willam McMorrogh. The next three surnames are variations on Tuohy. The only example of this in the HMRs of the half-barony of Owney. McMorrogh is a Mc surnames, likely to be descendants of someone else rather than surnames in their own right eg William McMorrogh might actually be William son of Morrogh Tuohy.   There is the 1766 census available for the general area but unless someone has a very distinct surname it is nearly impossible to make any kind of connection. https://www.igp-web.com/IGPArchives/ire/tip...

Teige Kelly Mahowne Ryane Edmond McOwen John Cullinane Mahowne Oge Ryane Donogh McOwen   There was no return for 1666-67.   Generally the first name in a townland seems to be the most important landowner. At least that is my impression. So in this case, Teige Kelly. Other names are in the main Gaelic with Ryan and Cullinan. There are also two McOwens. These are likely to be descendants of someone else rather than surnames in their own right eg Edmond McOwen might actually be Edmond son of Owen Ryan.   There is the 1766 census available for the general area but unless someone has a very distinct surname it is nearly impossible to make any kind of connection. https://www.igp-web.com/IGPArchives/ire/tip...

John Meagher Rory Ryane   There was no return for 1666-67.   Generally the first name in a townland seems to be the most important landowner. At least that is my impression. So in this case, Meagher. However when there are only two surnames they may both be fairly important. There is the 1766 census available for the general area but unless someone has a very distinct surname it is nearly impossible to make any kind of connection. https://www.igp-web.com/IGPArchives/ire/tipperary/census/1766-rel-cens/newport.htm There are at least 224 Ryans in the census. There are 3 Mahers and 9 Mahirs.
