Fethard including Killusty
As described in the Irish Research page, the tax records of 1666/7 Hearth showed a James Head at Rathdangin. The map below is from this time period and shows Rath-dragin south west of Fethard township. This I believe is the place referred to in the 1666/7 records.
Fethard is in the barony of Middlethird which in the 1659 census only showed 8 Headen and 5 O’Hea families. They were either counted as part of the O’Hea numbers or ignored due to their low usage.
By 1766, an Edm Head was in the village of Killusty in the parish of Kiltinan, Fethard. He is probably a descendant of the family in Rathdrangin in 1666.
Killusty is in the Fethard parish and is to the South East of Fethard as shown below:
This family posts section focuses on the families in the parishes of Fethard and Killusty. It includes Boolagh and Cappadrummin. The map above includes places that are discussed in the Drangan page.
In the Tithe records of the 1828 there was:
- Michael Heade at Cappadroma (by Kiltinan). This townland is also known as Cappadrummin. He farmed 3 acres owned by James Hacket.
By the time of the Griffiths in 1850, there was:
- Michael Hade in Cashel St, Fethard.
In the early 1800s, when the Catholic parish records began, the following families were in the Fethard and Killusty parish area:
- Patrick and Judith Daniel at Boolagh and Cappadrummin. Patrick is clearly the son of the Patrick who was in the 1828 Tithe records. They should also have been in the Griffiths there is no sign of them although the valuation records show they were at Kiltinan until at least the 1860s.
- Michael and Anne Sweeney at Cashel Street in Fethard. Which is clearly the Michael in the Griffiths record.
- John and Ellen Began (place unknown). There is no sign of this family in the Tithe, Griffiths or subsequent valuation records.
Patrick b 1816 and Judith Daniel
Patrick mar as Hayde in 1840. He died Kiltinan in 1886 aged 70 (b 1816). They had:
- Lawrence Hayde b 1840 Boolagh
- Mary Hayde b 1842 Cappadrummin
- Michael Hade b 1844
- John Hade b 1847
- Ellen Hade b 1849. Mar St John 1879
- Timothy Hade b 1854
- Bridget Hade b 1856
- John Hayde b 1858
- Catherine Hayde b 1858
- Mary Haid b 1860
Patrick is most likely a descendant of the families who were in Killusty in 1766. Apart from the marriage of Ellen in 1879, and the death of Patrick in 1886, there is no further references to this family in the civil or parish records.
Michael and Anne Sweeney
They were at Cashel Road in Fethard in 1850 and in the parish records were the baptisms of:
- Judith Hayde b 1835 d 1870
- Mary Hade b 1837
- William Hade b 1839
- Patrick Hayde b 1841
- Lawrence Hayde b 1843
- Alice Hade b 1846
Michael was clearly the Michael Hade in the 1850 Griffiths. In the valuation records he was in Cashel Street until the 1860s and the Green. A Thomas Hayde took over the property in the 1860s. In the 1890s, a daughter Judith was a neighbour.
He is presumably descended from families who were in Killusty who moved to the town.
John and Ellen Bergan.
They married as Heade in 1826 and had:
- John Hayde b 1826. John probably joined the Royal Irish Constabulary (RIC) and settled in Naas, Kildare. Descendants are mainly in Dublin although some emigrated to America. This tree is covered further below.
Without knowing where he lived it is hard to know from where he was descended. I have assumed he is descended from the Killusty families.

Naas
John Hayde and Elizabeth Short
In 1849, John Hayde joined the Royal Irish Constabulary. In the enlistment papers he was recorded as being born in 1830 in Tipperary South, he was a carpenter by trade and was 5 foot 8 1/8th inches tall. I have assumed that he was the son of John and Ellen Bergan b 1826 as there is no other baptism that could be relevant.
He served for 30 years and was pensioned in 1879.
He raised his family in Naas, Kildare and descendants ran various shops in Naas in the late 1800s and 1900s. The shops are famous in Naas. One current shop looks like:
John and Elizabeth had:
- Patrick J Hayde b 1862, Baltinglass. Mar Catherine Shea 1869, Dublin
- Mary Eleanor Hayde b 1866, Naas. Mar Timothy Berner 1892
- Julie Anne Hayde b 1868, Naas
- Edward Joseph Hayde b 1870, Naas. Mar Margaret Dermody 1896, Bray. Edward joined RIC then became a storekeeper.
- John Michael Hayde b 1898, Wexford. John was a seaman and travelled extensively between the UK and America in the 1920s and 1930s. Mar Mary O’Brien 1926 in England. Descendants are in England
- Edward Joseph Hayde b 1902. D 1916 Dublin
- Matthew Thomas Hayde b 1906, Brentford, Essex, England. Emigrated to America in 1927. Mar Ellen McFarlane 1929 in Philidephia. He was a mechanic is 1930
- Patrick Peter Hayde b 1911, Dublin. Mar Mary Byrne in 1937. Descendants are in Dublin
- Michael Hayde b 1914, Dublin. Mar Catherine Kavanagh. Descendants are in Dublin
- Bridget Hayde b 1871. D 1880

- Elizabeth M Hayde b 1872, Naas
- John Francis Hayde b 1873, Naas. Mar Rebecca Baker 1896, Naas
- Christopher Hayde b 1896
- Mary Hayde b 1898
- Rebecca Hayde b 1900, Naas
- John Joseph Hayde b 1902, Naas. Mar Katherine Curran. Descendants are in Naas, Dublin and England
- Elizabeth M Hayde b 1906, Naas
- David Hayde b 1911. Mar Sheila Phillips 1945. Descendants are in Dublin
- Ester Agnes Hayde b 1876
The DNA of a descendant does not match that of any other families so more testing is required to confirm linkages.
