Hingerty One Name Study

  Why do we think that Denis and Patrick were brothers? I have found no direct documentary evidence that they were brothers ....... Online trees that have them as brothers have no sources for the relationship. They were both married in the Monsea, Tipperary area in a similar time period. Denis married on 6 February 1834 with residence listed as Loghorna. I have been unable to find this location on Google maps- there is a Lahorna.... could this be the same place?? Witnesses to the marriage were Patrick Hogan and Mary Wh (indecipherable). Patrick married on 25 February 1835 with residence listed as Drumineer which is 1 1/4 hour walk from both Monsea and Lahorna (opposite directions). Witnesses to his marriage were William Gleeson and Catherine Quirke. Therefore, while they were both married in the Monsea parish area, it does not appear that they were both living in the same immediate area and did not share close friends or relations as witnesses to the nuptials, nor were they witnes...

  Who are the INGERTYs? A search for the surname INGERTY on forebears.io which lists the surnames of the world, produces no results. There are no family trees on Ancestry with Ingerty families in them. A search on Face Book for Ingerty results in four very strange looking listings that do not seem to be attached to real people. A search of the major on-line genealogy sites for the surname Ingerty does not produce large numbers e.g 35 references world wide on Find My Past. Many of the references, once the original document is sighted turn out to be wrongly indexed FOGARTYs or FLAHERTYs. If you consider the state of many of the original documents, as per the picture above, you can well understand the difficult task faced by indexers!  Others turn out to be wrongly attributed Hingertys. One example is an entry in the NSW Government Gazette for September 1888 which clearly lists a land sale of a block of land in DeBoos Street Temora involving a J. Ingerty. However, it is much more...

  A fellow One Namer was exploring his surname of interest on the Commonwealth War Graves site. He decided to type in HINGERTY to see if there was anyone there who might be of interest for the Hingerty One Name Study... and this is what he found..... He sent the list to me and asked if Higgerty was a variation of Hingerty?????  So, of course I had to investigate....... First stop, Goggle "Higgerty surname" to see if anyone else has explored the origins of this name..... House of Names  (a site designed to sell you surname memorabilia which may or may not be historically correct) had the following: A foundation location of Cork was promising as our O'Hingerdells were there from at least the 12th century to early 1600s.... However, the entry then went on to connect the Higgerty name with Hegarty variations.... Hegartys are NOT Hingertys. Our beginnings are in different areas of Ireland and from very different clans. Forebears  had a very interesting entry I was very ex...
