IV., c 99. Their origins pre-date this act, they were used in the assessments of local taxation under the Grand Juries. Over time many were split into smaller units and a few were amalgamated. Townlands and parishes - smaller units - were detached from one barony and allocated to an adjoining one at vaious intervals. This the size of many baronines changed, albiet not substantially. Furthermore, reclamation of sea and loughs expanded the land mass of Ireland, consequently between 1851 and 1861 Ireland increased its size by 9,433 acres. The census Commissioners used Barony units for organising the census data from 1821 to 1891. These notes are to guide the user through these changes. From the census of 1871 to 1891 the number of subjects enumerated at this level decreased In addition, city and large town data are also included in many of the barony tables.

The castle was situated beside the medieval routeway connecting the medieval castles of Nenagh and Birr. It was strategically located to guard and control the fording point and bridge over the Little Brosna River which was the gateway to O’Carroll’s Country from the neighbouring lands of Ormond and the Gaelic territory of the O’Kennedys which now forms part of North Tipperary. Ballindarra Castle was a multi-storeyed tower house probably built in the late 15th or early 16th century by the O’Carrolls and was defended by a polygonal- shaped bawn wall. A short section of the upstanding wall, running parallel to the eastern bank of the river, may belong to the original bawn wall. Drawing c.1800, of Ballindarra Castle and Bawn from the Birr Castle archives (A/24) inspired by an account of the 1690 Siege of Birr. This drawing is an artist’s impression of a three storey roofless tower house standing inside an irregular-shaped bawn. It stands guarding the important pass or crossing point over the Little Brosna River which connected the medieval castles of Nenagh and Birr.

    The Coonans of Roscrea by Michael F

    The Coonans of Roscrea By Michael F. McGraw, Ph.D. [email protected] October 26, 2018 Introduction This continues the effort to organize, consolidate and extend the research of Robert Conan. The following paper concerns the Coonan families found in the area of Ireland around Roscrea, Co. Tipperary. The material found in Conan’s notes pertaining to this subject consists of two parts: (1) a structured family report covering five generations and (2) a set of interviews conducted by Robert Conan in Ireland in 1970 and 1972. The data in the structured family report covers the period from the mid-1700s to the early 1800s and is discussed in Part I of this paper. Information was also found on a Roscrea family which had immigrated to Australia in 1865; they are also included in this part of the paper. The Robert Conan interviews covered the then current generation of Coonan descendants and went back one or two generations and which forms Part II of the paper. The overall goal is to connect the earlier Coonan generations with the more recent descendants, where possible. As many church and civil records as possible were collected to complement those collected by Robert Conan during his visits to Ireland. The information has been structured as family trees to achieve a concentration of the information and to increase the probability of discovering other family connections. The geographic proximity of the families described in this paper holds the promise of finding connections among them. A more long range goal is to find connections with the Upperchurch Coonan families, which were described in an earlier paper.

Also the towns of Nenagh, Roscrea, Banagher, Tullamore, Philipstown, Frankford, Shrinrone, Kinnetty and Ballyboy and The ancient septs, princes, and celebrated places of the surrounding country By the late Thomas Lalor Cooke 1875 The Abbe Macgeoghagan tells us that this territory was called Eile, or Ely, from Eile-Biagh- Deargh, one of the ancestors of the tribe of O’Carroll, who lived in the fourth age ; and that this family of the O’Carrolls was from Heber, by Oliol Ollum, and Kian, his son. We are in- debted to a note in the Book of Rights as translated and edited by Dr.O’Donovan, and printed for the Celtic Society for the following information as to the ancient Ely O’Carroll : “ Eile was the name of a tribe and an extensive territory all in the ancient Mumha, or Munster. They derived the name from Eile, the seventh in descent from Cian, son of Oliol Ollum. According to O’h-Uidhrin, this territory was divided into eight ‘ tuatha,’ ruled by eight petty chiefs, over whom O’Cearbhaill (O’Carroll) was head, or king. The ancient Eile (Ely) comprised the whole of Eile Ui Chearbhail (Ely O’Carroll), which is now included in the King’s County, and comprises the baronies of Clonlisk and Ballybritt ; also the baronies of Ikerrin and Elyogarty, in the County of Tipperary. The boundary between ‘ Ely O’Carroll’ and the ancient Midhe (Meath) is determined by that of the diocese of Killaloe with the diocese of Meath, for that portion of the King’s County which belongs to the diocese of Killaloe was ‘ Ely O’Carroll,’ and originally belonged to Munster.

    Soil Survey Bulletin No. 43 ISBN 1 84170 409 1 SOILS of Co. OFFALY by R.F. Hammond and L.E. Brennan National Soil Survey of Ireland AGRICULTURE AND FOOD DEVELOPMENT AUTHOHITY "The quality of this soil is more generally, either a deep moor or a shallow gravelly loam, the moist season being most favourable to the produce it yields and the moors very productive in dry summers" Charles Coote, 1801 Published by Teagasc, 19, Sandymount Avenue, Dublin 4. Ireland © Teagasc, 2003 Origination by Keystrokes, Dublin Printed by Grehan Printers, Dublin ii PREFACE The survey of the soils of County Offaly began in the early 1970's and the fieldwork was completed in the late 1980's. The contribution of Dr. Pierce Ryan, then Head of the National Soil Survey of Ireland, who was instrumental in setting up the Survey is acknowledged. The reorganisation of An Foras Taliintais in 1987/88 and subsequent interregnum through re- deployment of staff to other duties effectively put soils report writing on hold for several years. However, with perseverance this publication, Soil Survey Bulletin No. 43, presents the findings of the Soil Survey of County Offaly, which is the twelfth county soil survey bulletin to be published. Dr. Robert Hammond and Mr. L.E. Brennan were responsible for the field mapping which commenced in 1971. This type of survey is a joint effort between many interested parties. The contributions of Mr. Sean Diamond and Mr R Parle are acknowledged in the correlation and editing of the soils descriptions and the section on trace elements, respectively.
