There are 219 Hartnetts in all of County Cork during Griffith’s Valuation.

In terms of geography, Monagurra and Ballybraher are adjoining townlands, while Ballylongane is between Shanagarry and Garryvoe.

The 1766 census of Cloyne has one Thomas “HARNETT" who lived outside the town of Cloyne and a Thomas Hartnett who lived in the village of Cloyne. Their religion is noted as "Papist".

The 1830 Kilmahon Tithe Applotment lists three Hartnetts: Daniel of Ballinamona, Martin of Ardnahinch, and Maurice of Monagurra.

There are no Hartnetts listed in Ballybraher or Carrigkilter. There is a John Hartnett listed in Ballycotton and several Hartnetts in or around Ballyandreen.

John Hartnett is listed as the father of Mary Catherine Hartnett on her death certificate.

The Hartnetts are most likely buried in the Mogeely Cemetery.

• Surname History:
1. By translation, black; 'descendant of dubhthach' (black). This surname is found in all parts of Ireland, and several distinct families are likely bearing the same name. The O’Duffys of Connacht are remarkable for the number of eminent prelates they formerly gave to the church in that province. The O’Duffys were also a family of note in Monaghan. In Munster, the name is generally anglicized Duhig, owing to the pronunciation of the final g. The family is, according to Keating, of Dalcassian origin. In Ulster, where the name is very common, especially in Monaghan and Donegal, it is sometimes anglicized as Dowey and Dooey. see Ó dúithche, (Sloinnte Gaedheal is Gall )
2. A variant of Ó tuathaigh in co. Cork, where the final g is sometimes not aspirated. Compare with Ó cobhthaigh and Ó dubhthaigh (Sloinnte Gaedheal is Gall )

Hi
Bill, Am doing Cloyne at the moment and thought I would keep an eye out for Duhig, as they married in Cloyne. Only came across one Jerry Duhig (Darby). Father Andrew Duhig & Mary Lane, daughter Mary Duhig b. 19th Sept 1835. (Page 20). Jerry Duhig b. 7th October 1837 (Page 32). This is P4989/08. Maybe nothing but!

** To complicate matters, Mary stated she was 68 at the time of the 1901 Census of Ireland. That would place her birth in 1833.
