This is an interesting one, Sharon. There are lots of people (e.g. listers) who are planning a trip to Clare and want to do a bit of ancestral research and ask how to go about it. It would be fun to put together a little vade mecum for them to use when preparing their trip and see whether the Clare ...

I have been trying to find out whether the microfilmed Clare baptism records at the NLI are complete, i.e. whether all the Clare parish records were microfilmed.

Clare-type surnames in Civil War listings of Canadian men

Eliza Maloney of Whitegate and Thomas Kelly

Alice, This isn't an answer to your question but do I understand correctly that you have searched the England and Wales marriage indexes for a marriage of Eliza Maloney and Thomas Kelly (with spelling variants) around 1863 +/- 5 years and drawn a blank ?
