Narrative

The Valuation Office Cancellation records were updated when the name of the occupier or lessor changed, not when the person changed. So the record was not updated if the occupier changed but the new occupier had the same name as the old, e.g. if the tenancy passed on to a son with the same name as his father.

This can make it difficult to be certain who the record is referring to at any particular time. What appears to be a single person occupying land for a period could in theory be any number of people with the same name.

However a distinction was made between people with the same name who were in the records at the same time in the same townland, e.g. a father and son who each occupied land.

Patrick Hannan [circa 1800 - 1860] occupied a plot of land that crossed the borders between Newtown (Lot 7), Ballyregan (Lot 1) and Skehanagh (Lot 3). Around 1860/1861 this land passed to his wife Grace and then to his brother Edmond. By 1901 that plot of land was occupied by Patrick's son Ned. Patrick's brother Edmond was also the tenant in Lot 6 in Newtown.

In Newtown Lots 6 and 7 were recorded as occupied by Edmond Hannan until 1865 when the occupiers' names were changed to "Edmond Hannan Senr" and "Edmond Hannan Junr" for Lots 6 and 7 respectively. I'm assuming that Edmond senior is the original occupier (both Lots) and Edmond junior is his son or nephew. "Senr" and "Junr" may have been used to distinguish between two men of different ages, rather than to specify a father/son relationship. It's possible that Edmond took over the tenancy after the deaths of Patrick and Grace until Patrick's son Ned was able to run the property himself.

In Skehanagh (Lot 3) and Ballyregan (Lot 1) the name on record remained Edmond Hannan from 1861 to 1894, but probably passed to Ned in 1865, at the same time as the change in the record for Lot 7.

        My mother's name was Hannan, from another part of the County of Limerick
        and she had 2 brothers and 3 sisters, Aunt Conway, Aunt Shaughnessey and
        Aunt Maloney.
        [...] My mother's people were only a few miles from Ma's home, as
        Newtown Crecoro, County Limerick was my mother's home . Years after my
        mother had died in Dublin and I went to live and work in Limerick, I
        used to ride out the seven miles to my cousins' ( Uncle Ned 's son and
        two daughters) on Saturday afternoon and stay over until Monday. They
        also had a large farm and there was a forth or rath on the farm down
        near the main road (Newtown Road) and before I got the bike I always liked
        walking.
