I have been looking at some of the posts concerning the Hawley surname. I have Holloway/Holway ancestors that were also from County Tipperary. My Holloway/Holway ancestors were from Stonepark, Glen of Aherlow, County Tipperary, Ireland. I am wondering if there is any connection between Hawley and Holway? Also, if there is no connection, I am wondering if someone knows the history and origin of the Holloway/Holway family in Ireland. Thanks!

Hi Neil, When I checked MacLysaght's Surnames Of Ireland, the entry for Holloway/Holway says see Halvey. The (O) Halvey entry says that O'Halvey is from Ó hAilmhic (noble son) in Cos. Galway and Mayo. But in Leinster, Halvey is a form of Holloway which is "an old Anglo-Irish name." Unfortunately, the ancestors you mention were in Tipperary (part of Munster) and so not Galway, Mayo, nor Leinster. Leaves me stumped.
