In Griffiths Valuation of Ireland 1848-1864 for the Parish of TEMPLEPORT, Co CAVAN. The site gives this info which I`m pretty sure is my HUGGINS ancestors.
HUGGINS Blakely Townland; Boley. Barony Tullyhaw.
HUGGINS * Blakeley '' Killyran.
I think the first BLAKELY HUGGINS ( parents ANDREW & MARGARET HUGGINS nee BLAKELY marr 1774), married ANN PRINGLE and had 9 children.
ANDREW H b 1831 marr Elizabeth.
*BLAKELEY H b 1832? Marr 1855 Lilly GOODFELLOW.
JANE ANN b 1836? marr 1854 James ARMSTRONG.
SARAH H
MARGARET H
AMELIA H
WILLIAM H
JOHN H marr 1878 Mary Ann BLEAKLEY.
ROBERT H b1841 marr 1883 Emily DAVIS.
The second * Blakeley being the son born 1832?
Is there a census around that time which would give more information about the Huggins families living on the Townland of Boley and Killyran?
I wonder who owned the Townland of Boley & Killyran at time of Valuation?Would be happy to receive any information that might give more details about above mentioned Huggins family.
Thank you for taking the time to read this.
Sue.

The oldest surviving complete Irish Census is 1901, just a few fragments of the earlier census returns survived.
The original Griffiths Valuation page should show you who owned the land that your possible Huggins ancestors leased, see the second column on the valuation. note that sometimes land is sub-let so you may have to trace back through a few people to get the owner. For both the Huggins entries the owner is Right Hon. & Most Rev. Lord John G Beresford.
The page data with maps is available at Griffith's Valuation at AskAboutIreland (http://www.askaboutireland.ie/griffith-valuation/index.xml)
These Cavan Griffiths records are dated 1857. Given the age of the younger Blakeley I suspect that both properties are leased by the same person.

More info on Blakley Huggins and family. They are shown in the US Census for 1870 for Missouri.
Blakley Huggins; head of household, born about 1834, age 36.
Lilly; wife, born 1836, age 34.
Robert; son, born 1858. age 12.
Margaret, daughter, born 1860, age 10.
John; son, born 1862, age 8.
Blakely & Lilly married 25 Oct 1855, Templeport, Cavan, and were shown in the Irish 1857 Cavan census so must have left Ireland between then and 1870. Civil War in US between 1861-5.
Blakely`s sister Jane Ann Armstrong was living in the US as was family of Lilly, nee Goodfellow.
Any descendants out there, please make contact.
God bless,
Sue.
