Re: Looking for descendants of Cullinans of Dangananella West

It's taken almost ten years, but I think that I may have identified the birth record of the Elizabeth O'Connor who married Patrick Joseph Cullinan on 28 Apr 1909.

Re: Thomas J. Madigan, Sergeant Major U.S. Army, born in Kilrush

Some user-donated family trees at ancestry.com have confused the Thomas Madigan who died in Denver in 1921 with the son of John Madigan and Mary McDonnell who died in 1930 in the townland of Einagh in Killard parish, but adjoining Kilrush parish: !CENSUS: http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/...

Re: Thomas J. Madigan, Sergeant Major U.S. Army, born in Kilrush

Great research, all. I don't know what happened Denis Keane's widow, Bridget Madigan, except that she appears to have been alive when he died in 1887, described as married, rather than widowed. However, she does not appear to be the Bridget Keane in these census returns: !CENSUS: http://www.census.n...

Re: Fr. Patrick Quaid

Sharon You do not appear to have mentioned Fr.

Other Clare priests that come to mind for their public campaigning and pastor...

One small point - the microfilm containing baptisms from 19 Feb 1878 to 29 Mar 1881 and marriages from 5 Mar 1878 to 30 Apr 1881 at http:...

Another variant on the same theme: John Griffin was enumerated with his maternal grandparents as "Niece" in 1901 but "Nephew" in 1911. http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Clare/Cahermurphy/Cahermurphy/1080464/ http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Clare/Cahermurphy/Cahermurph...

Re: Did John Clancy from Clare marry his brother's widow (1924)?

Almost 11 years on, Jim Herlihy has drawn my attention to this Clancy family again with a post in a Facebook group called "Royal Irish Constabulary1816-1922 -A forgotten Irish Police Force".

John Clancy's daughter-in-law has appeared in an online phone book since I last looked for her.
