The University of Galway’s Landed Estates database identifies Grange in Athnowen as a Hawkes family home during the nineteenth century. It records J. Hawkes there in 1814 and 1837, and John Hawkes in the early 1850s, when the house was valued at twelve pounds and held from Sir John Walsh. [2]
Seventeen occupied houses in 1911
Grange had seventy-six inhabitants in 1911, thirty-two male and forty-four female. Seventeen of its nineteen houses were occupied and two empty. Its population had been 121 in 1891 and ninety-five in 1901, with twenty houses at each census. The townland covered 648 acres, two roods and nineteen perches, within Athnowen parish, Muskerry East barony and Ballygroman electoral division, Templemartin dispensary district and Bandon Poor Law Union.
