Martin Hingerty of Crimler was charged with being drunk on the streets of Roscrea town on 25th April 1876.


Martin Hingerty married Catherine Hogan in June 1890 in the Roscrea registration district.

Martin Hingerty and Catherine Hogan registered a daughter, Johanna Hingerty in 1891 (Roscrea). 

Martin Hingerty and Catherine Hogan registered a daughter, Norah Hingerty in 1893 (Roscrea).

Martin Hingerty and Catherine Hogan registered a son, Edward Hingerty in 1895 (Roscrea).

Martin Hingerty of Lisduff registered his various dogs in 1915, 1916, 1917, 1918 and 1920.

Martin Hingerty of Lisduff was charged and fined for allowing his ass to wander onto the road in October 1917.


(No death record has been found for a Martin Hingerty. There are a few possible Martin Harrington death registrations but there are not enough details to confirm if any of them are 'our' Martin.)

Why did Martin and his family choose to be listed as Harrington in 1901 and 1911?
Did they decide to be Harrington on the Census or did the enumerator make the decision for them?

While we may never know what caused the temporary change of name, it does indicate the ongoing relationship between the two names even into the 20th Century.

Hingerty YDNA Project- January 2023 report

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...
