Anglicized Irish Names in Patent Rolls, 1603-1604

Raw Data: Patent Rolls, 1603-1604

The source for the names listed in this article are a list of names from Patent Rolls of James I (1603-1604) listed in Ewen, C. L'Estrange, A History of Surnames of the British Isles (Originally pubished: London, 1931. Reprinted for Clearfield Company, Inc. by Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc. Baltimore, Maryland, 1993, 1995). pp. 210-211.

In a footnote on p. 210, Ewen notes that his source was: "Cal. of Irish Patent Rolls, vol. ii, p. 17 et seq."

Note: The asterisks were not in Ewen, they're my addition. I've put after the entries that I believe are women.
