The Hingertys of Stafford, England

-

 


Patrick Hingerty (1811-1866) married Bridget Carroll (1817-1890) in 1835. They had six children in the Nenagh area of Tipperary from 1836 to 1850. 

A Patrick Hingerty is listed in the Griffiths Valuation in 1853 in the Nenagh area- is this the same Patrick?

Sometime after 1853 Patrick and Bridget emigrated to Stafford, England with two of their sons, Daniel and Michael Richard.

They ran a boarding house at 12 Black Walls North and in the Staffordshire Advertiser of 7th April 1855 it was reported that they were fined 10 shillings for breaching the lodging house by-laws. 

In the 1861 UK Census there are ten lodgers plus the family living in the four roomed cottage at 12 Black Walls North!

Patrick died of bronchitis in January 1866. Bridget outlived her husband and all but one of her children. She died in Stafford in 1890. 

Her son Daniel outlived his parents and all his siblings. He died in the Staffordshire asylum in 1917. He never married.

The youngest child of Patrick and Bridget, Michael Richard married Catherine McDonald in 1873 in Walsall, Staffordshire.

Sadly, Michael Richard died of typhoid fever in January 1885 leaving Catherine with four young children and a new baby due in April.

Tragically, in 1922, Catherine and her son Daniel were found dead in their beds. The Dublin Evening Telegraph 9 November 1922 reported that they had died from gas leaking from a ruptured pipe in the road outside their home.

Hingerty descendants living in the Stafford area today descend from one of two sons of Catherine and Michael Richard. Michael (1883-1955) married Mary Elizabeth Norwood in 1909. His brother John (1885-1940) married Mary Beckett in Leicester in 1907.

Hingerty YDNA Project- January 2023 report

-
Image
Background: We currently have nine Hingerty BigY700 testers representing the four exisiting Hingerty lines with living Hingerty males. We have the results of eight of the tests, the most recent (BH, USA) becoming available this month (January 2023). The ninth test (SH, Australia) was only taken and posted to the lab in Texas in late December. We will have those results in a few month's time. We are using a combination of: * Genealogical data * STR data from YDNA testing (111 Markers) * SNP data from YDNA testing (BigY700)  to answer our two research questions  Are all Hingertys related?  How are they related? Thank you to our "Hingerty Heroes" JH, PH, MJH, SH, BH, MH, WH, DH and RH for taking the YDNA tests and allowing our research to progress. (Click  here  to view a video presentation introducing you to YDNA and the Hingerty YDNA Project.) What the results have revealed to date: All Hingertys are related: STR Evidence: All Hingerty testers match at the STR 11...

Is this the Hingerty Homeland?

Is this the Hingerty Homeland? Place names in Ireland often reflect the clans and families who previously occupied the land. While researching early references to the O'hlongadail name, I came across "Family Names of County Cork" by Diarmuid O Murchadha. He mentions the townland of  Kippaghingerghill  in the Bantry area of Cork. The name Kippaghingergill translates to "Long plot of land belonging to the O'Hingerdills". This is what it looks like if we zoom in a bit closer. Overlaying the "South West Ireland 12th Century Clan Map"  with Google Maps, it looks like Kippaghingerghill is in the same area as the clan map locates the O'Hingerdill. For further information re pronunciation, meaning and references to this townland, see Irish department of Heritage and Culture  for this location. The website  townlands.ie  has this boundary map and details So, is this the Hingerty Homeland? The map lines up, the names lines up.... and it does line up with...
