As described in the Irish Research page, the tax records of this area in 1666/7 showed the following 4 family units:

  • Edward Heade and James Heade in the Ballingarry area.
    • James was at Farranrory (by Bolintlea)
    • Edward was at Lisnamrock (by Ballyphilip)
  • James Heade at Ballyphilip (by Lickfinn and Knockadabe)
  • James Heade at Poynstown (this is west of Ballingarry by Gorteen)
  • Robert Heade at Ikerrin (in the civil parish of Lismalin, south of Ballingarry)

They were probably four of the 10 Heade (and variants) families in the 1659 census.

By the time of the tithe taxes of the 1820s, the descendants in the area were:

  • Patrick Heade at Boula (Bolinthea).  He was baptized in 1806 when parish records were started.  He appears to have been an adult at the time and was sponsored by John Langley, a large landowner in the area.
  • Michael Head at Knockadabe
  • James Head at Lickfinn (note that there were two entries. They could be the same person at both locations or more likely two different families).
  • Several Headon families in the Lismalin area on land owned by the Earl of Carrick, a descendant of Viscount Ilerrin.  By the 1850s there was a Thomas Hayde on a small plot at Islands, which is close to Lismalin. He married Bridget Cuddihy in 1832 and had four girls in the 1830s and 1840s

Lismalin is south of Ballingarry. Lickfinn and Knockadabe are close together while Boula is further north as can be seen from the map below:

Boula (Bolintlea)

At the time of the 1850 valuations, the two families living at Boula were John and Lawrence Hayde, the sons of Patrick and Catherine Hogan.

The main branches to the Boula tree appear to be:

1)  The Lawrence b 1812 who moved to Cardiff and settled there. Tree # 2

Lawrence (b 1812) and Ellen Doran arrived in Cardiff around 1836.  Descendants are in Cardiff. Their Irish origins are unknown but the most logical assumption is that they came from this area as Doran families were neighbours of the Hayde families in Boula. The descendants of Lawrence and Ellen are described further in the Welsh Family Posts.

2)  Patrick Heade from Boulea who was in the Tithe records in 1834. He married Catherine Hogan and their children were:

  • Elena Heade b 1806
  • Michael Heade b 1808
  • John Hayde b 1810 Coalbrook, who was farming 46 acres in 1850 in Boulea and by 1890 was farming 100 acres. He married Mary Croake and their children were:
    • Patrick Hayde b 1853. Mar Hannah Finane
      • John Hayde b 1892
      • Denis Hayde b 1895
      • Mary Hayde b 1898
    • James Hayde b 1853
    • William Hayd b 1854
    • Johanna Hayd b 1856
    • JohnHayd b 1858
    • Mary Hayde b 1859
    • Michael Head b 1861
    • Hannah Hayde b 1862
  • Nicholas Heade b 1812 Coalbrook
  • Patrick b 1815
  • Laurence Hayde, who was also in Boulea in the 1850s. He married Mary Butler and they had 8 girls.
  • Thomas Hayde b 1817 Glengoole, who married Mary Hennessy and had moved to Clonmel by the 1850s. They had:
    • John Hayde b 1848
    • James Hayde b 1849
    • Thomas Hayde b 1852
    • Catherine Hayde b 1854
    • James Hayde b 1856
    • Mary Hayde b 1859

I have found no living male descendants of Patrick.

3)  William b circa 1795, who was a teacher at Lisnamrock in 1824. He married Catherine Walsh and they had:

  • Thomas Hayes b 1816. D before 1854 as not mentioned as a sibling of Henry’s in 1854
  • Henry Heade b 1818. A pedlar in New York in 1854. Mar Catherine Duffy
    • William Hade b 1858, Chicago
    • Michael Hayde b circa 1860. Living South Amboy, Middlesex, NJ in the 1860s
    • Catherine Hade b 1866 Chicago
  • Richard Heade b circa 1820
  • William Hade b 1823. D before 1854 as not mentioned as a sibling of Henry’s in 1854
  • Ellen Hade b 1824
  • Cath Heade b 1828

Henry and Ellen were in New York in the 1850s.

Richard, was transported to Australia in 1843 for 14 years. He was convicted of appearing armed and assaulting habitation. He lived with his widowed mother Catherine at Lisnamrock at the time.

I have found no trace of Richard in Australia but an advert in the Boston Pilot by Henry indicated he was sailing to America in 1872.

Henry Hayde had a bank account at the New York Emigrant Savings Bank by 1854.  It recorded his birth in 1828 as being the son of William and Cath Walsh from Ballingarry.

The parish records however show his birth in 1818 and that they were from the village of Boula in Ballingarry. The bank records stated that he arrived on the Leviathan on 7 March 1853, although these arrival records are not on ancestry.com.

An 1860 entry in the bank records shows his address as being NJ and his wife as being Catherine Duffy with Michael, a child. He enlisted in the army at Albany in 1849 aged 25 (b 1824) and discharged 1854. He again enlisted in 1861 (aged 29 – b 1832) and was discharged July 1864 only to enlist again in Sept 1864. He died 1880 and Catherine was awarded a pension in Ohio in 1890.

Catherine (b 1847) was in the 1900 census with William (b 1871), Mary (b 1875), Ellen (b 1877), Anne (b 1880) and Helen (b 1882). She was described as having arrived in 1866 and as having had 7 children with 4 living.

Margaret was in the Toledo city directories for 1877 and Catherine was in this directory in 1887. William Hayde was also in the 1887 directory at the same address as Catherine.

The 1900 Toledo directory recorded Catherine, Annie C (a seamstress), Mary E (also a seamstress), Nellie and William P as all living at the same address.

A James H Hade was in the Toledo directory in 1910 and could be a child of William.

I have found no descendants of any of these people.

The family tree (Tree # 2) can be seen at the following ancestry web site https://www.ancestry.co.uk/family-tree/tree/52746022/family

Knockadabe and Lickfinn (Tree # 7)

Michael mar Mary Cahill who were in Knockadabe in 1830 and Lickfinn 11b (owned by Palliser Weyland esq) in 1850. They had:

  • James Heade b 1832
  • John Heade b 1834
  • Elizabeth Heade b 1837
  • Mary Heade b 1840
  • Margaret Heade b 1843.

John and Margaret were possibly in Boston in 1864. {explain}

James and Elizabeth Wilson who were in Lickfinn in 1834 and 1850 (either 11c (owned by Palliser Weyland esq) or 22b (owned by John Langley esq)). They had:

  • William Heade b 1812, Lickfinn, Gorthahoe parish

James was a collier in 1812.

James and Biddy/Bridget Maher who were in Lickfinn in 1834 and 1850 (either 11c or 22b). They had:

  • Michael Heade b 1826, Ballingarry parish
  • Tom Heade b 1828, Gortnahoe parish
  • John Hayde b 1833, Mardyke, Killenaule parish. Mar Mary Murphy in Yorkshire 1866
  • James Hayde b 1835, Mardyke

The movement of this family around 3 different parishes implies a connection between the families in these parishes. This family is described further in the North Tipperary Posts page.

Derryvella and Gorteen

In the 1850s, there was a Matthew Hayde at Derryvella and Judith Hayde at Gorteen Lower.

These families may have descended from James Heade who was at Poynstown in 1666 or from other families in the area.  Descendants are:

Matthew Hayde at Derryvella

There was no sign in the Catholic parish records of Matthew.

James and Judith Conway from Gorteen Lower had:

  • Elizabeth Heade b 1827
  • John Hede b 1828
  • Margaret Head b 1830
  • Mary Heade b 1832
  • James Heade b 1834
  • Edmund Heade b 1837
  • Bridget Heade b 1841
  • Ellen Heade b 1843

Judith was at Gorteen Lower in 1850, which probably means that James died before then. She was there until the 1860s when they emigrated to America. They are covered in more detail in the Chicago Family Posts and are known as Tree # 14.

Lismalin/Islands

The land that Robert Heade was on in 1666/7 was owned by Pierce Butler, the 4th Viscount Ikerrin. His grandnephew, Somerset Hamilton Butler, the 8th Viscount, was created the Earl of Carrick in 1748.

A widow Headon farmed 7 acres at Lismalin in 1834. By the 1850s there was a Thomas Hayde on a small plot at Islands, which is close to Lismalin. He married Bridget Cuddihy in 1832 and had four girls in the 1830s and 1840s.  It is possible that Thomas was descendant from Robert.  The surname of his wife, Cuddihy, gives a clue to another connection. The name Cuddihy was prominent in Bolintlea in the 1830s.

In the parish records for Gortnahoe and Ballingarry there were also a number of other Hayde/Heade families in the early 1800s.  The linkages are not entirely clear as the records only started in the early 1800s.

Extracts from the Ballingarry parish records, the civil records, tombstones, valuation records, census returns and other records are at Ballingarry Families – Trees # 2 and # 14 

The graph below reflects the population trends in Ballingarry. It is probably also reflective of trends in other parts of Ireland.

James and Judith/Johanna Conway

As was mentioned in the Ballingarry posts page, James Hayde (b 1826) and Judith or Johanna Conway had 8 children in the Gortnahoe and Ballingarry parishes in Tipperary, Ireland in the 1820s, 30s and 40s. They were from the village of Gorteen Lower where Judith was recorded in the Griffiths records of 1850.

Johanna and her children were in Chicago by 1870.  James probably died before 1850.

Gorteen Lower is marked on the map below:

The parish records showed that James and Johanna married in 1826 and they had the following children:

  • Elizabeth b 18 Jan 1827
  • John b 21 Sept 1828
  • Margaret b Oct 1830
  • Mary b 9 Nov 1832
  • James b 30 May 1834. Mar Elizabeth Coulter 1858
  • Edmund Charles b 28 Apr 1837. Mar Catherine Moran circa 1865
  • Bridget b 1841
  • Ellen b 1843. Mar Albert McVittie 1872

The 1900 census described James as having arrived in 1854 and Edmund as having arrived in 1860 (presumably with Johanna and Ellen).  I have found no trace of John. The 1920 census however stated that Edmund arrived in 1854. It seems likely that they arrived together in 1854.

It was common for new settlers in Chicago to have initially arrived in Canada before moving to America.  However I have not yet been able to trace their arrivals in either Canada or America.

James was Naturalised in 1868 and Edmund in 1888.

They both married and had families as can be seen in the family tree at https://www.ancestry.co.uk/family-tree/tree/51471748/family

The families can be summarised below.

James (b 1834) and Elizabeth Coulter

James married Elizabeth Coulter in 1858 in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada and they had 7 children. Elizabeth was born in Hamilton so they celebrated their marriage in her parish.

One son was a policeman and another worked at Hayde and Reilly, a drygoods firm. There does not seem to be a surviving male from this family.

Elizabeth died 1914, b 1838. She is buried Calvary, Evanston.

Descendants are:

  • Elizabeth b 1859 Hamilton. Ontario, Canada. Mar Keiran Ryan
  • James P b 1861 Chicago. Mar Hattie Elenore Hull 1891
    • Marion b 1891. Mar Walter Vestal 1915
    • Hortense b 1893
  • William C b 1863. Clerk. He joined the army in 1883 and was discharged in 1884. D 1884. His obituary said he was from Tipperary.

In 1866, James owned a cemetery plot at Calvary, Evanston. He was buried there in 1925 together with Elizabeth who died in 1914, Keiran Ryan who died in 1933 and Alice Hayde (presumably nee Hopper) who died in 1938.  See below:

Edmund (b 1837) and Catherine Moran

Edmund married Catherine Moran circa 1865 and they had 10 children, 8 of whom were alive in 1900. 2 daughters became nuns and 2 others were school teachers. He was involved in one of the great historical events of Chicago because a business he ran of Hayde and O’Brien was destroyed in the Great Fire of 1871.

Edmund died in 1928.

Descendants are:

  • James A b 1867. Mar Margaret Reidy (b 1868) 1896 St Cecilia parish, Cook County
    • Margaret Mary b 1897 St James parish
    • Alice C b 1899 St James parish
    • James b 1905 Nativity of our Lord parish. Mar Gertrude 1929

  • Evelyn M b 1879. D 1968. Buried Mount Olivet, A teacher

Mary and Julia (Mary Ruth) became nuns.

Other Chicago Families that could be Related to James and Judith Conway

In the 1850s and 1860s the following families were in Chicago and could be related:

Henry (b circa 1830) and Cath Duffy

Henry is the son of William and Catherine Walsh from Boula, Ballingarry, Tipperary. He died 1880 and Catherine was awarded a pension in Ohio in 1890.

Boula is not far from Gorteen Lower and a connection is a high probability.

In 1860, the New York Emigrant Bank showed him living in NJ with Catherine Duffy and Michael, a child. He was in Albany in 1849 when he joined the army when he served until 1854. He enlisted again in 1861 and was discharged in 1864. He was in Chicago in 1864 and 1867.

He is not in the 1850, 1860, 1870 and 1880 census records {check these}.

Henry and Cath had:

  • William Hade b 1858 Chicago
  • Catherine Hade b 1866 Chicago

William and Catherine were both baptised in the Holy Family Church. This church dates back to 1858 and is on West Roosevelt St in central Chicago.

Bernard (b circa 1830)

In 1860, a Bernard Hade was in New York having been naturalized in 1856. By 1880, a Bernard Hayde born NY was in Chicago.  This could be a son and there may be a connection between Bernard and James/Judith but any connection is as yet unproven.

Descendants are:

  • Bernard b Ireland circa 1830
    • Bernard Hayde b 1855, NY. Mar Helen/Ellen Walsh 1874 Old St John parish, Cook County, Chicago. D 1909. Buried Calvary
      • Patrick Joseph b 1875. Mar Jane Bartley 1896. D 1945. Buried Calvary
        • Irene Hayde b 1897
      • Bernard b 1877
      • John b 1880, d 1884
      • James Joseph b 1882
      • Mary b 1886
    • John F Hayde b 1862, Ireland. He was dry goods salesman in 1900. He arrived in 1879. In 1880 he was a Hayd and by 1900 a Hayde and single. The connection to Bernard is yet to be proven.

James and Mary were baptised in the Holy Family Church as was Irene in 1897.

I have not traced any descendants of any of these families and any further information would be welcome

John (b 1846) and Kate/Cath Barry

John was born in New York. He and Cath had:

  • James Hade b 1871
  • John Hade b 1873. D 1910. Buried Mt Carmel, Hillside
  • Nicholas Hade b 1875. D 1907. Buried Mt Carmel, Hillside
  • Harriet Hade b 1877
  • Edward Hade b 1878
  • Edward Michael Hade b 1879
  • Kate Hade b 1881

All the children were born in Illinois. They were in Sherman St, Chicago in the 1880 census as Hade. John was a hackman. Nicholas and Kate were baptised at Old St Mary’s in S Michigan Ave and Edward a little further north at St Peter’s.

John (b 1846) died 1922. He was buried at Mount Carmel, Hillside, Cook County. In 1920 he was rooming with others including an Elizabeth Hade (b 1860) in Warren Avenue.

{need to find John’s ancestors in New York}

Chicago Families from County Carlow (Tree # 15)

Two brothers were in Chicago by 1860. The older brother (Patrick) had married in Carlow in 1844 and had arrived with his wife Jane by 1850. Maurice married in Carlow in 1851 and had arrived with his wife Catherine by 1860. I have not found their arrival records. They probably arrived in Chicago via Canada.

Patrick (b 1817) and Jane Garrett (b 1824)

Patrick and Jane had:

  • Mary b 1855

Patrick and Jane were in Chicago in 1850 and 1860 as Hade. He was a lumber inspector in 1860. By 1870 Jane was a widow and working as a grocer, the same occupation as Maurice. She was Hade in 1880 and Heade in 1880. In 1880 she was living in South Evanston.

Maurice (Morris) (b 1827) and Catherine

Maurice and Catherine had:

  • Mary Elizabeth Hade b 1855 Chicago. Sponsors were Patrick Hade (Maurice’s brother) and Elizabeth Hade. (I am not sure of the Elizabeth connection).
  • Ellen Ida Hade b 1856 Chicago. Mar Walter Gorman 1884
  • Margaret Ann Hade b 1860 Chicago
  • Michael John Hade b 1861 Chicago

Morris was a policeman in 1860 and a grocer in 1870. By 1880, Catherine was widowed and with Ida. They used Hade in all census records.

Mary and Ellen were baptised at Old St Patrick, Margaret at Holy Family Church and Michael at Old St Mary.

Maurice and Patrick Hayde owned a plot in Calvary, Evanston cemetery in 1865. Interned there were Ida and Walter Gorman who died in the 1920s and their three children who died in the 1940s.  See below:
