End of the Line Part 3- 

Martin Hingerty and Family

The Last of the Tipperary Hingertys?


Irish census 1901 and 1911



There was one other Hingerty family listed in the 1901 and 1911 census- however, you would be forgiven for not finding them at first glance, as they were registered as HARRINGTON.





(Daughter Johanna is missing from the 1911 Census- where is she????)

A previous blogpost looked at Martin Hingerty/Harrington and his shift to and fro with his surname/s in the Census and across other records. "Martin Hingerty or Harrington?"

https://hingerty.blogspot.com/2021/09/martin-hingerty-or-harrington.html

Today's post will focus on the children of Martin Hingerty/Harrington and his wife, Catherine (Kate) Hogan.

The youngest child of Martin and Kate was Edward Hingerty.

Edward was born 10 June 1895 in Lisduff.


On 25 July 1928 Edward married Catherine O'Hea.


Edward died 3 November 1947 at Crumlin, Moneygall.


Unfortunately, I have found no other information regarding Edward, nor any indication of children or descendants.


The youngest daughter of Martin and Kate was Norah Hingerty.

Norah was born 26 February 1893 in Lisduff.



(Thank you to Norah descendant MK for supplying this photo of Norah)

Descendants of Norah Hingerty list her husband as James Shelly. 

A search for a marriage between a Shelly and a Hingerty was unsuccessful BUT on 4th March 1924 a Norah HARRINGTON of Lisduff married a James Joseph Shelly. 

Johanna HINGERTY was listed as a witness (Norah's older sister?) and her father was listed as Martin HARRINGTON. 

It seems that this family used the surnames Hingerty AND Harrington interchangeably.


Norah and James had five children- three sons and two daughters.

Nora Shelly died at the young age of 38 on 31 August 1932 at Lisduff, Moneygall. An inquest was held and the cause of death was determined to be heart failure due to natural causes. 



Nora's older sister Johanna Hingerty was the Informant for the death registration.


The eldest child of Martin and Kate was Johanna Hingerty.

Johanna was registered as being born on June 15th 1891. 


However, her Baptism certificate issued in 1954, while silent re the date of her birth, listed her as being Baptised on 1st May, weeks before she was born??? 
Could the family have changed her date of birth for the purposes of registration if they had been late in registering her birth and a fine was about to be applied ????? 



(Thank you to Nora descendant MK for this certificate)

In a recent email, MK a descendant of Norah Shelly nee Hingerty/Harrington, stated that Johanna King nee Hingerty lived with their family until her death in the 1980s and that the family believed her to be the last of the Tipperary Hingertys.

 I have been unable to find a marriage record or a death record for Johanna as the online marriage indexes stop at 1945 and the online death indexes stop at 1971.

Once we can confirm a 1980s death date for Johanna, we will be able to award her the title of the "Last of the Tipperary Hingertys", the other contender for the title having died in 1978.

I will update this blog once a death date has been confirmed..........

UPDATE DECEMBER 2022

Thank you to Nora descendant MK for sending through this memorial card


We now have a confirmed death date for Johanna
11th April 1986



Death Notice Irish Independent Newspaper-
Thank you fellow researcher M who located this clipping


We can now say with confidence that Johanna King nee Hingerty was the Last of the Tipperary Hingertys!


But what about Maura mentioned by Caroline in the Comments below.... how does she fit in and is she better qualified to bear the title??? 

If you have any further information regarding Martin or his family

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...
