No. 551 (Ní Nialáin): http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/r ... 001748058/
Áine Filimín Ní Nialáin (Anne Philomena Neylan/Nilan), aged 14, staying at Brews, Castle quarter, Muckanagh DED, is “inghean inghine” (daughter of a daughter).
No. 553 (Ní Fhloinn): http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/r ... 001748428/
Liam Ó Floinn, aged 60, living in Ranaghan, Muckanagh DED, gives his occupation as “Maor”, which the enumerator has translated as “Steward”. In 1901, Liam (William) gives his occupation as Farm Servant. His father’s occupation is Shepherd: http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/r ... 000460940/
No. 557 (O Maoldhomhnaigh): http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/r ... 001762261/
Rísteard T. O Maoldhomhnaigh, living in Newmarket-on-Fergus Town, Newmarket DED, gives his occupation as Fuinnteoir (Baker). In 1901, he has the same occupation: http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/r ... 000466524/
No 559. (Ua Rathaille): http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/r ... 001793444/
Pádriag Ua Rathaille, living in Ardataggle, O’Briensbridge DED, gives his occupation as Feirmeoir & Fear Siopa (Famer and Shopkeeper). In 1901, he has the same occupation: http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/r ... 000483530/
No. 568. (O Raghallaigh): http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/r ... 001748754/
Seaghán O Raghallaigh is aged 80, is living in Moyhill, Rath DED, and his son Tomás, aged 39, is living with him. Máire aged 40 is wife of Tomás, so her relationship to Seaghán is “bean a mhach” (wife of his son). Séamus O Raghallaigh, aged 16, is “Mach a mhic” (son of his son). Eibhlín, aged 8, is “Inghean a mhic” (daughter of his son). The record of the marriage of Tomás and Máire in 1891 gives the Irish name for Moyhill as Knocknacarte as does the record of the birth of their son Patrick in 1892: https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/ ... 876163.pdf
No. 574. (Uí Dúbhchaine): http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/r ... 001748777/
In 1911, Toirdhealbhac Uí Dúbhchaine, aged 26, living in Rafline, Rath DED. He is Terence Duggan, aged 17, in 1901: http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/p ... e/1068275/ Terence is an anglicization of Toirdhealbhac, also pronounced as Traolach.
Edit: However, as TBH points out in a post made on 13 May 2023 (see page 3 of this thread), Uí Dúbhchaine is not the Irish for Duggan; it is the Irish for Doheny. The surname, Ó Dubhchonna, was anglicised to Doheny, and this was the version used by the family as late as 1870 when it was given as the surname of Bridget upon her marriage to Patrick Leahy. I see that Doheny was also the surname given for Mary when she married Michael Collins in 1866: https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/ ... 239006.pdf
No. 599. (Ní Chléirigh): http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/r ... 001763239/
I am amending Cleary to Clara. Ó Cleirigh is usually Cleary, but Máire Ní Chléirigh and her son, Seaghán, living in Leamaneigh More, Urlan DED, give their surname as Clara in 1901: http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/r ... 000467078/
The record of the marriage of Seaghán, in Feb 1911, gives his surname as Clara: https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/ ... 614303.pdf, and, likewise, the record of his mother’s death in 1936: https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/ ... 293920.pdf
The civil records show that Clara was almost entirely a Clare name.
No. 603. (Ní Ailpín): http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/r ... 001763326/
Liam Ó h-Ailpín, and his wife Cáit are living in Urlan Beg, Urlan DED. Their daughter, Eilís, is aged 14. Usually, Eilís is Elizabeth, but in this instance it is Beatrice: http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/p ... g/1072116/
Well, I’ve been thinking about Láchtín O hOgáin from Ballyvraneen (mentioned in my posting above). I noticed that his sister Teresa gives her age as 23, which is a little older than her true age (she was born in 1890): https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/ ... 897015.pdf). It may be that Láchtín did likewise and that he is the child called Joseph who was born in 1893. It may be that Láchtín is a second name, or a pet name: https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/ ... 862665.pdf.
