Hayde Family History

In 1666/7 James Heade was in Farranrory. By the 1820s there was a Patrick Heade at Boula, this borders Farranrory as can be seen from the map above.

At the time of the 1850 valuations, the two families living at Boula were John and Lawrence Hayde. I believe they were the sons of Patrick and Catherine Hogan. The Catholic parish records for the area (Gortnahoe parish) started in 1805 and there were many baptisms recorded in 1805 and 1806 without parents names noted.  It seems that there was a mass move to baptise everyone including adults as the parish started. Patrick was one of these in 1806.

In 1850 there was also a Bridget Hayde in Knockalonga, who is probably related but I have not been able to trace her in the parish records.

This page is devoted to the families that are linked to Boula.

No DNA tests have been done on descendants from this area.

In Griffiths in 1850 John Hayde was occupying 39 acres owned by Edward Cooke Esq. The valuation records showed:

• Patrick Hayde occupying 23 acres in the 1840s, that he was leasing for 31 years from 1837
• Lawrence Hayde on a small plot in the 1840s
• John Hayde occupying 46 acres into the 1870s. His descendants continued on this site into the 1900s as well as further plots of 34 and 32 acres. The Griffiths map below shows the location of plot 28 (the 46 acres) circled in blue.

Patrick Heade b abt 1780 and Catherine Hogan

 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
  • John Hayd b 1858
  • Mary Hayde b 1859
  • Michael Head b 1861
  • Hannah Hayde b 1862
• Nicholas Heade b 1812 Coalbrook
• Patrick Heade b 1815
• Laurence Hayde, who was also in Boulea in the 1850s. He married Mary Butler and they had 8 girls. (note Laurence was not in the parish records and I have assumed this connection).
• Thomas Hayde b 1817 Glengoole, who married Mary Hennessy and had moved to Clonmel by the 1850s. They had:
  • John Hayde b 1848 Ballingarry
  • James Hayde b 1849 Ballingarry
  • Thomas Hayde b 1852 St Mary’s, Clonmel parish
  • Catherine Hayde b 1854 St Mary’s Clonmel
  • James Hayde b 1856 Powerstown parish
  • Mary Hayde b 1859 Grallagh, Moycarky parish

I have found no living male descendants of Patrick. The family in Boula seems to have died out in the late 1900s.

In Boula there was also the following:

1)  Lawrence b 1812 who moved to Cardiff and settled there

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)  William b circa 1795, who was a teacher at Lisnamrock in 1824

William married Catherine Walsh and they had the following children bap in Ballingarry parish (which started in 1814):

• Richard Heade b circa 1815
• 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
• William Hade b 1823. D before 1854 as not mentioned as a sibling of Henry’s in 1854
• Ellen Hade b 1823
• 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. Richard arrived in Tasmania in 1843 and was pardoned and went to Melbourne in 1854. An advert in the Boston Pilot by Henry indicated that Richard 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.

3) Patrick and Mary Deen

Patrick and Mary had a child bap in the Ballingarry parish:

• Judith Heade b 1817 from Boula

Patrick was probably (but not positively) the Pat Head in the Boula Tithe records farming 25 acres in 1834 as they were described as being from Boula in 1817. (rather than the Patrick who married Catherine Hogan). Given that there were no other children baptised to Pat and Mary, they may have been born in  something like the 1770s and Judith was their last child.

4) John and Ellen Connelly

Like Pat and Mary above, John and Ellen had a child bap in the Ballingarry parish shortly after it opened:

• John Heade b 1817 from Boula

I think John (as Hayde) arrived in New South Wales on 18 Oct 1840 on Isabella.  Mary Hayde b 1820 was also on board.  I’m not sure what connection she had with John but must have been a close relative.  I have not found any trace of them in Australia after they arrived.

I have constructed a tree around these families in Boula (Tree # 2) and this can be seen at the following ancestry web site https://www.ancestry.co.uk/family-tree/tree/52746022/family
