 Patrick Hingerty on The Old Turnpike Road Nenagh 

(and Stafford?)

Map Old Turnpike Rd Nenagh Tipperary 1850

(the row of houses on left hand side of the road before Lot 12)

Patrick Hingerty was both a lessor and a tenant on Old Turnpike Road on the edge of Nenagh, Tipperary in 1848 and 1852.

In records compiled in 1848 to prepare for the Griffiths Valuation, Patrick was renting a house from Dr Robert Firth while at the same time renting out the smaller house next door to Sally McGrath. A pencilled note in the margins tells us that both house had been recently thatched.


In the Valuation published four years later in 1852, Patrick is still renting a house from Dr Firth, but his own tenant next door is now Margaret Connell.


Why did they live in a rented house whilst owning the house next door?

Is this the Patrick Hingerty who emigrated to Stafford, England with his wife, Bridget Carroll and two of his sons (Daniel and Michael Richard) sometime before 1855?

Abraham Harrington


One piece of evidence supporting this Patrick being the same Patrick Hingerty who later emigrates to Stafford is the fact that Abraham Harrington lives in a house a few doors up from Patrick in the 1848 house list. Abraham Harrington was godfather to Patrick Hingerty and Bridget Carroll's daughter Bridget when she was Baptised in the Catholic church in Nenagh in February 1846. 



Are they the same Abraham Harrington?

In the 1852 Valuation list Abraham Harrington has disappeared but a Mrs Harrington now lives a few doors further down the street from Patrick and his family. 
Did Abraham die and his widow move further down the road? 
Always more questions than answers......

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...
