Notes for Unknown TUMILTY
(From book A on Family Names by Woulfe)
"(Mac) Tumelty Mac Tomaltaigh, also O'Tomaltaigh (perhaps tomaltach, bulky). The Connacht sept of this name is now almost extinct, except in the barony of Moycarn, Co. Roscommon; there remains the sept of Oriel, especially the part of it where Cos. Monaghan, Down and Louth meet. SIF148."
(From book B on family names) "TUMULTY
I accept Woulfe's Gaelic forms of this name viz. O'Tomaltaigh and Mac Tomaltaigh, but it can hardly be described as rare and it certainly is inaccurate to locate it in south Leinster. An analysis of birth registrations from several years shows that it is seldom found outside the Oriel country i.e. south Down, north Louth and Co. Monaghan. It appears too in the Hearth Money Rolls of Co. Monaghan of 1665 (in 1663 it appeared as Tomoly) but it was not numerous enough to be listed as a principal Irish name in any barony in the "cencus" of 1659-60. Bernard Tumulty, the nineteenth century Drogheda Gaelic poet and scribe, wrote his name Brian O'Tumultaidhe." "The name is on record also in Co. Roscommon and east Galway in the mediaeval and early modern period, where it has since strangely been corrupted to Timothy. This is probably a small sept distinct from the O'Tumultys of Oriel, deriving from Tomaltach, chief of Moylurg from 1169 to 1206. In the sixteenth century MacTumulty occurs much more frequently than O'Tumulty. In the Fiants, for example there are thirteen Macs and only three O's with this name (there are seven variations of spelling with MacTumulty) ten of those belong to the Connacht sept and the other three to Leinster counties adjacent to Connacht. Two with the Mac prefix and in the "Composition Book of Connacht" (1585) and none with O." "Two prominent ecclesiastics of Elphin and Athlone (1284 and 1410) are
mentioned in the Annals of Loch Ce; and a third appears in the state papers as Canon of Elphin in 1296. None of these has the prefix Mac. In the next century we find the O'Tumultys allied by marriage to the leading O'Kellys of Ui Maine; and Father P.K.Egan states that the name is still extant in the barony of Moycarn."
