Could anyone provide further information the cemetery at Doon, Calluragh (next to Ballinruan) within the Crusheen/Inchicronan parish.

Re: location of Cloonan, birth place of Daniel McAllen

Murf - I cannot see on the Clare library website the Lawrence or Charles McAllen residing at Clooneen - am I missing something?
