Re: Denis McNamara (b. 1805) and Catherine Woods

You should try get more information (the marriage and death certs) of the 3 sons born in Ireland. If you can identify the parish they were born in their baptismal records should survive. Finding these would help bring you back further.

Re: Bartholomew Glynn

There are 3 Batt Glynns listed in the Tithes

I suspect all three are the same man.
I have lots on the Knockaderry branch later on.

Re: Bartholomew Glynn

It might be possible the Batt Glynn in Kilrush is the same Batt Glynn who had land in Templemaley Parish near Ennis in the Tithes ?

Was your Thomas Crowe a Catholic ?

Re: Converts to Catholicism in Clare/Limerick (Spaight Name)

You can find Catholic branches of most of the gentry families.
If a Protestant man married a catholic girl the Catholic church allowed the marriage but the children were to be raised as Catholics.
This was the most common way conversion to Catholicism occurred.
