SURNAME HISTORY:

KINNEALLY

Recorded in a number of spellings including Kinneally, Kenealy, Kennelly, Quinnelly and possibly  others such as Kinally, this is an Irish surname of great antiquity. It is often confused with  Connelly, and with good reason as the pronunciation, subject to local dialect, is very similar, and  it is possible that they do share the same origin. Today Kinneally is regarded as being a West Cork  surname, and is believed to be from the Gaelic O' Cinnfhaelidh meaning literally "Head wolf" whilst  Connelly is believed to translate at "chief hound." The Connolly clan is recorded all over Ireland  although its epicentre is probably County Galway.The Kinneally or Kenealy clan however originate  from County Limerick, and a place called the barony of Connello, from which it is easy to see how  the association with Connelly has been assumed, if it did not already exist. John Kineally of  Limerick was a lieutenant in the army of King James 11nd at the battle of the Boyne in 1690, and he  may be the same person who later became a colonel in the Irish Brigade of the French army some ten  years later. Edmund Kenealy (1819 - 1880) was a prominent barrrister in London, whilst William  Kenealy was the mayor of Kilkenny in 1870

WOODLAND
 Whilst this surname may seem obvious in its meaning, it nethertheless has a long and honourable  history. That it is a locational name is beyond argument. It derives from the pre 7th century a.d.  Olde English 'wode-londe' translating as 'at the woodland' or perhaps 'the glade in the wood'.  Curiously perhaps there are at least four villages in England called 'Woodland'. In fact it is  almost certain that the surname derives from one of the villages, and probably the one near  Ashburton in Devon. Certainly the coat of arms was granted to the Woodlands of Woodland, Devon, and  this is a good indication of origin. Early examples of the surname include Cicely de la Wodeland  (of Devon) in the fifty second year of the reign of Henry 111 (1216 - 1272), whilst Peter de  Wodelands appears in the Somerset Rolls of 1316. An interesting recording is that of Peter  Woodland, described as a ropemaker, who sailed to Barbados on the ship 'Virgin of Hampton' of 60  tonnes burthen, on March 30th 1640. Presumably he made it because in the church register of St  Michael's Parish, Barbados for July 25th 1679, is the christening of 'Mary, ye daughter of John  Woodland'. The coat of arms has the blazon of a silver field, a black bend charged with three bucks  heads attired in gold. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Henry  de Wudeland, which was dated 1195, in the Pipe Rolls of Lincolnshire, during the reign of Richard  1, known as 'The Lionheart', 1189 - 1199. Surnames became necessary when governments introduced  personal taxation. In England this was known as Poll Tax. Throughout the centuries, surnames in  every country have continued to "develop" often leading to astonishing variants of the original  spelling.
