Re: Surnames in Irish in 1911

I think Tomás B Mac Cumhaill must be Thomas P. Cole, aged 9, in the 1901 census: http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/r ... 000464381/ living at House 107.1 in Claretown (Clarecastle Village) (Clareabbey, Clare). According to the record of his birth he was born in Kerry, but his father was an R.I.C. Sergeant stationed in Ennis, and Thomas probably grew up in Co. Clare.
Birth of Thomas Cole in Ardfert, Co. Kerry, 1891, to John Cole, Ennis, Co. Clare, Sergeant R.I.C. and Eliza Dowling: https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/ ... 860855.pdf
And I think Liam C Ó Laochdha might be William Leahy whose birth was registered in Corofin in 1871: https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/ ... 211256.pdf
His baptism was recorded in Rath-Kilnaboy parish register as Gulielimus Leahy of Patritius Leahy and Brigida Doheny.
I failed to find William Leahy in 1901, but found his family living in Rafline (Rath, Clare): http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/r ... 000461134/
An t-athair Maitiú Ó hEaghráin is listed in Form B1 (House and Building Return) as Mathew Haran. I failed to find him in the 1901 census (aged about 30), so I must be content with having found the English version of the name. This would have been written by the census enumerator. Mathew/Matthew might have spelled his name as Haren:
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/p ... ne/875778/
I have found nothing for Próinsias R Ó Laithimh, but I believe the name in English is Francis Lahiff/Lahive.
Now, looking back to the Clare people in Co. Galway, I find that I’ve made a mistake in my note on Pádraig Mac Giolla tSeanáin, 35, Roman Catholic Clergyman, living at House 13.2 in Esker (Kiltullagh, Galway: http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/r ... 002408736/
According to MacLysaght, Mac Giolla tSeanáin is Giltenane, a variation of Gilsenan as used in Co. Clare, where it is also anglicized as Shannon. I went with the Giltenane version, but was mistaken in thinking that he was Patrick Giltinan born in Ennis in 1885 (Patrick was 25 in 1901 – not 15).
Well, I see now that he was Patrick Shannon, Theology Student, Brother in Religion, aged 25, at House 1.2 in Clonard Gardens (Falls Ward, Antrim): http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/r ... 000345933/. According to Form B1 of the census, this was a Redemptorist Monastery. Esker monastery in Co. Galway, where Patrick was living in 1911, is now a retreat centre.
Patrick was born Feb 1876 to James Shannon and Bridget Mulqueen, Carnacalla: https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/ ... 119002.pdf. He performed the ceremony at the marriage of his brother Timothy to Sarah Murphy, Nov. 1909: https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/ ... 651387.pdf.
I will edit my note on Pádraig Mac Giolla tSeanáin accordingly.
