~In July 1653, the Commonwealth regime issued an order for the transplantation the following year of Catholic landowners across the Shannon to Connacht, the most isolated and poorest of the four Irish provinces. This order targeted thousands of landowners and their dependants but even the most recent research on the topic has failed to produce accurate figures for the numbers who actually moved into Connacht. Catholics, however, no longer retained any land east of the Shannon. In September 1653, two months after the transplantation order, the English parliament passed the Act of Satisfaction, which began the process of distributing forfeited lands among the adventurers and disbanded soldiers. In the first instance, the land would have to be accurately surveyed.

Aghada was Ahaddy in the seventieth century
The owners of Curragh and Glenbradagh where different and the Parish’s where different as well!
I started this in hopes of finding a Walsh owning land in Aghada before Cromwell. At least they weren’t transplanted to Connacht
Or where they ?
