Ranell Oge took Sir James Sempill's assignment on 28 Jan 1614/15, so the father was dead by then. A phrase in the RC copy may read "twenty years now last past" (i.e. c.1611); uncertain.

Note

RESEARCH NOTE (Claude, 2 Oct 2026). Marriages: (1) Ellen, daughter of Teige MacCarthy (probably Teige McDermod McCormac of Dunmanway), by May 1601 (fiant 6516; JCHAS 1906 "m. 1st dau. of Tadhg of Dunmanway"); (2) probably Ellen de Courcy, daughter of John 18th Lord Kingsale, by July 1628 (funeral entry; Lodge). Ranell Oge himself is eliminated as Ellen de Courcy's husband because his wife was Catherine O'Cullane (Santiago 1634).

Lodge also says Hellen FitzGerald of Dromana, widow of Gerald 19th Lord Kingsale (d. 1642), "remarried with Randal Hurley of Beallana-Carigy". That is more likely this Randal's son (or this Randal as a widower); not linked.

JCHAS 1906 says Randal Oge succeeded in 1631 and "his name appears on the chalice"; the chalice has not been traced.

The 1906 account calls the 1641 man "Randal Oge Beg" and makes him the builder's grandson; the 1601 fiant shows "Ranell oge beg" was already the heir in 1601, so that label belongs to this generation.

Note

Randal Hurley Oge (the 1641 castle holder) is placed with his father only: which of the heir's wives was his mother is not recorded.
