DRANGAN, CLONEEN & KILLUSTY RECORDS
Information for researching Baptisms and Marriages in Drangan, Cloneen and Killusty
- All records before July 1826 deal with the Catholic Parish of Cloneen and Killusty.
- Records from July 1826 onwards deal with the Catholic Parish of Drangan and Cloneen
- Mullinahone and Drangan were joined before 1826, therefore, Drangan Baptism and Marriage Records before 1826 are in the Mullinahone Record Books.
- In July1826, Drangan was joined with Cloneen. Killusty joined with Fethard. Drangan got part of Killusty Catholic Parish (in Civil Parish of Peppardstown) Part got = all Curraheen townland plus half of Rathkenny townland and a small part of Knockelly townland.
- Killusty Baptism and Marriage Records up to July 1826 are with Cloneen Records and are now stored in the Parish Priest’s house in Drangan. No townlands were given in early book records.
- In 1826, Drangan Catholic Parish received all Upper Crohane plus half Lower Crohane townlands plus part of Shangarry townland (now often called Wilford), plus nearly all Lismolin townland. All above are at the south side of the road from Lismolin Cross going west to the Two Trees, next to Barrett’s Cross then going south to Crohane Church and then to a small bridge at west or Killenaule side of Glasheen’s Cross. That road is the dividing line between Drangan and Ballingarry Catholic Parishes.
- Before July 1826, the Baptism and Marriage Records for the above townlands and part townlands should be in the Ballingarry Record Books and I have seen names from Crohane, Graiguenageha and Moyne in the Killenaule Record Book.
- On 10th November 1840, Drangan Catholic Parish received from Moyglass Catholic Parish, part of the Civil Parish of St. Johnstown, namely: all Lismoynan townland, plus part of St. Johnstown townland now known as Bawntafoora, plus a small part of Kilkennybeg townland. Therefore, Baptism and Marriage Records before 10th November 1840 of the above townlands should be in the Killenaule and Moyglass Record Books.Killusty
- To avoid expulsion under Penal Laws, local priests had to register in Nenagh as Parish Priests after an Act of Parliament 1703 which improved the situation for some priests. No other clergy were to be allowed, only the Parish Priest. Some priests went on horseback to Nenagh from this area to register. In 1704, Rev. Geoffrey Sall P.P. Clerihan and Killusty (1704-1713) was registered in Nenagh as P.P. of Coleman, Newchapel and Ballyclerihan (roughly modern Clerihan parish), and as P.P. of Kiltinan, Crompstown, Coolmundry, Peppardstown and Everardsgrange (roughly modern Killusty Parish) with parts of Fethard, Drangan and Cloneen. Killusty was in Kiltinan Parish but the church was in Killusty. This union of Clerihan and Killusty lasted until c.1773. Fr. Luke Shee was the last P.P. and was probably one of the Shee’s of Cloran, Cloneen.
In 1773 Killusty was united with Cloneen until 3rd July 1826, since then it has been united with Fethard. There was a thatched church in Killusty in the 1700’s which was built chiefly at the expense of Mr Redmond Purcell. In Visitation 1847, it was mentioned that Killusty Church was built on Lord Lismore’s land. Killusty’s present church was opened in 1883. It was built by Fr. Thomas H. Kinane P.P. Fethard & Killusty.Kiltinan Parish
- Kiltinan Parish c.1200 is mentioned in the Register of Hospital of St. John the Baptist, Dublin, by E. St. J. Brooks. It states in The Preface that Philip de Worcester gave the church of Kiltinan to Oseney Abbey, Oxfordshire, England, c.1200.
- An article written by Mark Hennessy states that a grant of 60 acres in the Manor of Kiltinan was made by David, son of Philip, to Hospital of St. John the Baptist, Dublin, c.1200. The Hospital of St. John the Baptist was a daughter house of Oseney Abbey.
Kiltinan was also listed in Papal Taxation 1291 and 1302. The church in Kiltinan was in ruins in 1615. - Kiltinan Civil Parish Townslands: Ballynaclera, Boolagh, Cappadrummin, Clarebeg, Claremore, Grangebeg, Killavally, Killusty North, Killusty South, Kiltinan, Loughcapple, Moanbarron, Rathkenty, Tullow and Walshbog.Information supplied by Michael Hall, Kyle.

Drangan
In the early 1800s, when the Catholic parish records began, the following families were in the Drangan area:
- Michael, who was at Cappadrummin (also spelt Cappadroma) in 1828 (by Kiltinan)
- Edmond, who was at Cloran in 1830
- William, who was at Knockelly in 1833
Also at Cloran at the same time as Edmond was James. He didn’t feature in the Tithe records so must have been with Edmond on the 19 acres that Edmond farmed. They were probably brothers.
A John Head/Hayde was in Bannixtown in the 1830s and 1840s. This village is nor far from Cloran and he may be another brother of Edmond and James. I have not found any trace of descendants of John.
I have constructed tree # 11 on the assumption that Michael, Edmund, William and John are sons of Edm from Killusty. They may however be cousins rather than brothers but this information is not available.
The parish records include the marriages of:
- Anne Head of Killusty to Nicholas Power in 1816
- Ellen Head of Bannixtown to Thos Hacker in 1818
These may well be sisters of Michael, Edmond, William and John.
Cloran and Cappadrummin are all close to Killusty in the Fethard parish as can be seen from the map below while Knockelly is a bit further North.
By the 1850s, a John Hayde was at Graigue, a townland further south from Killusty, around the mountain of Slievenamon, by Kilsheelan. He may be descended from the brothers above but this is unable to be determined from the records available.
Michael and Mary Gorman.
They married 1813 in Drangan parish and both were recorded as from Killusty. Michael was actually called Edmd in the marriage records although all the baptisms referred to him as Michael. They were at Cappadroma in the 1828 Tithe records. They had the following children:
- James Head b 1816. Mar Mary Doran 1843 as Hayde from Cloran. They were in Drangan in the 1850 Griffiths records .
- James Hayd b 1843, Drangan.
- Bridget Head b 1847, Drangan. Mar Vermont 1871

James, Anne, Timothy and Ellen were baptised in the Drangan parish while the later children were baptised in the Fethard parish records. In the 1830s the parish records described them as being from Cappadrummin and is where Michael Heade was recorded in the Tithe records as farming 2 acres in 1828.

Edmond was in the Tithe records of 1830 as Headd. He was farming 19 acres at # 25 and the English family were at # 33.
Edmond died 1834 and left his estate to Margaret. Mary (nee Gorman) was the householder on this property in the 1840s but she had gone by 1849 and there is no family presence here in the 1850s.
James and Mary Fitzgerald. They had:

Patrick arrived in 1871 according to his Naturalisation records although there is no surviving immigration record, and he was Naturalised in 1873. There is no obvious 1880 census record for them. The 1900 American census showed Bridget as having 6 children with 3 living at that time.

- Mary Hayde b 1860, Cappa
- Anne Head b 1821
- Bridget Head b 1824. Mar William Keevan 1846
- Thomas Hayde b 1829. Mar Eliz O’Donnell
- Patrick Hayde b 1832, Cloran. He probably mar Johanna Lyons in America. Descendants are discussed below.
James was not in the Tithe records and was probably with Edmond in Cloran.
William and Alice Delaney. They had:
- Margaret Head b 1817
- Bridget Head b 1818
- Edmond Head b 1824
William was in the Tithe records of Knockelly as Hayde. They must have had more children as a Thomas Hayde was on this land in 1846 until 1882.
In the 1860s Thomas was before the courts on a number of petty crimes and a Judith Hayde was a witness on one occasion.
John and Ellen Carroll and then Mary Dermody.
I have assumed that this is the same John and he remarried. He was from Bannixtown and he had the following children:
- Mary Head b 1832 (to Ellen Carroll)
- Patrick Hayde b 1841 (to Mary Dermody)
John and Margaret Burns, at Kilsheelan, Graigue
- Michael b abt 1807. Mar Margaret Barnable in 1857 as Heade and emigrated to America as Hade in 1857 and settled in Hatfield, Hampshire, Massachusetts. They were Hade in 1865, 1870, 1880 and 1900 but Margaret (senior) was Hayde in 1910. In 1900, Margaret was a widow. She arrived in 1857 (presumably with Michael) and had 11 children with 3 living. I have not found their arrival or naturalization. Michael was also recorded in the Draft Registration records in 1863. Their children were:
- Margaret b 1861
- Anna/Fanny b 1862
- John b 1864 (not in 1870 census)
- Teresa/Tracey b 1866
- Kate b 1867
- Mary b 1868, married Sweetland
- Alexander b 1872, d 1890
- Catherine B b 1875
- Michael T b 1878, d 1888
- ANO
- ANO
- John Hade b 1842
In the 1849 valuation records, the widow Catherine Hade was at Graigue Lower while in 1846 a Patrick Hayde was a Modeshill (Sankey) – by Graigue. I am not sure how these are connected.
Patrick Hayde b 1832 and Johanna Lyons
According to descendants, Patrick Hayde was born circa 1830 in Co Tipperary and emigrated to America in the early 1850s.
The most likely baptism record is that of a Patrick Hayde in the parish of Drangan, Tipperary in 1832. He was the son of James and Mary Fitzgerald. They lived in the village of Cloran as explained above.
By 1860 Patrick had married Johanna Lyons, they had started a family and were living in Salisbury, Connecticut.
The map below shows the city of Salisbury in the county of Litchfield in Connecticut State.
Patrick (b 1832) and Johanna (nee Lyons b 1835) were in the Salisbury, Connecticut 1860 census (as Haide) with their 4 children – John (b 1854), Lawrence (b 1855), Ellen (b 1856) and Mary (b 1856). The children were all born in Conn. Patrick died in 1885 and Johanna in 1904. The 1900 census recorded her as having arrived 1850. There are two arrival records in the name of Johanna Lyons around this time. These are:
- At New York on 23 July1850 aged 20 (b 1830) on the Universe.
- At Boston on 16 Jan 1850 aged 18 (b 1832)
Possible arrival dates in America for Patrick include:
- As Patrick Head aged 23. Arrived 1 July 1851 on Robert Kelly from Liverpool
- Patt Head aged 30. Arrived 26 May 1851 on Harmony from Liverpool. Place of origin stated as Tipperary.
The gravestones for Patrick stated that he was born Tipperary however the death certificate of his son Lawrence says Limerick.
John (b 1854) and Mary Rigler
John married Mary Rigler and they had 5 children John Francis (b 1883), Mary A (b 1886), Frank Joseph (b 1887), Johanna J (b 1889) and (Elizabeth M (b 1890).
Frank Joseph had a large family and descendants are in Connecticut and Canada. His descendants are:
- Mary Agnes b 1914
- Charles Joseph b 1916
- Charles Joseph Jnr b 1938
- Mary Lee
- Roger W (in Ontario in 2007)
- Francis Elizabeth b 1918
- Katherine V b 1921
- Gloria J b 1923
- Helen R b 1925. Mar William Silva
Lawrence (b 1855)
Lawrence was single in 1920 and died in 1930.
Ellen (b 1856)
There is no record of Ellen surviving to adulthood.
Mary (b 1856) and Richard Deneen
Mary married Richard Deneen and had a large family. This family has been well researched and documented.
Patrick died in 1885 and by 1900 Johanna was still living in Salisbury with the rest of the family (as Hayde).
Descendants are in Litchfield Connecticut.
I have shared information with descendants of Mary and Richard Deneen but have not traced any descendants of John. Any further information would be welcome.
