Crowley – KeohaneIrelandTithe Applotment BooksGriffith’s ValuationCensus 1901Census 1911By: Frank O’Donovan - December 2018Crowley: The surname Crowley was anglicised from the Gaelic O'Cruadhlaoich wholived in the mid-11th century. Some time later, in the late 13th century, descendants ofthe Cruadhlaoch migrated from Connacht to County Cork, and settled in an area northof the Bandon river in the barony of East Carbery. Tradition has it, in the locality, that theyacquired this territory by marrying into the ruling family of the Coughlans, whom theysubsequently ousted. The townlands of East Curraghcrowly and West Curraghcrowly nearBallineen do record their presence. The Cork branch of the family earned a formidablereputation as fighters and, as a result, prospered and multiplied rapidly, while the originalConnacht branch of the sept went into decline.Keohane: There has been much discussion over the origin of the surname, and aview now held is that they are a branch of the Crowleys. In the Bantry area, thesurnames were quite interchangeable in some families up to recent years. There areseveral instances of people with the surname Keohane in Ireland arriving into the UnitedStates as Crowley.As to why the change of name; well there are a few reasons “tossed around” but it appearsthat there is no definite explanation, so we will instead focus on figures from some officialrecords as a guide on the locations and popularity of the surname in Ireland. In this documentI focus on the spelling “Keohane”, aware that the name has various other variations but onexamination I found these to be very small in number.
Tithe Applotment BooksThe Tithe Applotment Books will be our starting point and we will look at the total numberof the surnames Keohane and Crowley listed in the said Books. Of course we must bemindful that only the head of a family who held 1 acre of land, or more, is listed in the Booksand one person may be listed more than once if they held two or more parcels of land.However, we will at least see the relative numbers and locations of both surnames in thecountry.Firstly, looking at the Keohane surname.KeohaneWe find a total of 115 Keohane surnames in Ireland in the following Civil Parishes:Civil 321135Civil ullaghSligo & WestmeathTOTAL:Number62572164112115All except 2 are in County Cork; of those 2 we see one in County Sligo and the other one inCounty WestmeathFrank O’DonovanDecember 2018Crowley – Keohane Ireland Page 2 of 15

Griffith’s Valuation of IrelandThis survey to value all pieces of land in Ireland was carried out by a team of surveyorsheaded by Richard Griffith. Most of West Cork was surveyed in the late 1840’s to very early1850’s. The survey recorded the head of the house / property so family members are notincluded and a persons may be listed more than once because of having more than one pieceof property. However for this comparative Crowley – Keohane exercise we will take therelative numbers from the survey results.KeohaneIn Griffith’s Valuation of Ireland we find the spread of the Keohane name in County Cork –or really in West Cork plus 1 in Tuosist, Co.Kerry.The above data in tabular form:Civil ParishAbbeystrowryCaheraghDesertDurrus part ofKilfaughnabeg (part of)KilmocomogeFrank O’DonovanNumber51311161December 2018Civil ParishRossSkullSt FinbarrTemplequinlanTuosistTOTALCrowley – Keohane IrelandNumber106121102 Page 4 of 15

We come forward to the 1901 Census of Ireland which included ALL of the people in ahousehold rather than just the head of the household as in previous records.

Then where inthe county were the greatest number of that surname? This is tabulated on the next page.Let us review the birth location of each of the Keohane people who were resident outside ofCounty Cork in the Census of 1901.

I did notice that the spelling Crowly generated a significant number with most in CountyCork in the Census returns for 1901 and 1911 as tabulated wayKerryKilkennyKing's Co.LeitrimQueen's 0203409106Conclusions The surnames Crowley and Keohane are very much rooted in County Cork andCrowley outnumbers Keohane by over 5:1 in both 1901 and 1911 Census returns.Keohane certainly was almost confined to West Cork in the 1800’sThere is substantial evidence of some people born Keohane in West Cork becameCrowley in the United States. One can see that if a Keohane named person wasarriving in the US to a near relative who had already changed to Crowley then thenew arrival needed to be Crowley too so one could understand the “knock-on” effect.There is some speculation about the origin of the Keohane surname but I did not findanything to convince me of its origin, so in such circumstances my attitude is to saythat we don’t really know. As to the “story” that they were a branch of the Crowleyclan who lost their way in the fog going to the Battle of Kinsale in January 1602 –well!, well!Mentioning ‘speculation’ I often see examples in genealogy of speculation todaybeing fact tomorrow.Frank O’DonovanDecember 2018Crowley – Keohane Ireland Page 15 of 15
