Re: Bapt. Records for Church of Ireland, Kilrush & Kilkee.
Miriam, Some of the original old Kilrush C Of I registers are kept in the Representative Church Body Library in Churchtown in Dublin. According to John Grenham's Tracing Your Irish Ancestors, the RCBL has baptisms 1741-1840, marriages 1766-1841 and burials 1742-1841 for Kilrush. The National Archive...

Re: rootsireland.ie
Many thanks, Paddy eile, for your typically detailed research. I momentarily thought on receipt of the above e-mail yesterday that my long-held belief that I had already paid for the IFHF databases through my taxes was just a figment of my imagination. I am glad to learn that my mental faculties hav...

Re: Hickey Family Culleen Drumline 1665
Burke's Irish Family Records (1976, p. 587) merely says "Charles (Rev), ordained 1690". Recent generations of the Hickey family have been Catholic and I may well have jumped to a hasty conclusion in using the word `priest' and thinking that the Hickeys of 1690 were also Catholic. Cornelius, Roman Ca...

Re: forename "Attie"
Hi Fiona
On p.67 of Houses of Clare, you will find Anthony John Parker of Ballyvalley described as `Atty'. So I vote for Anthony.

Re: Irish Civil Registration Indexes at pilot.familysearch.org
My attention has been drawn to a record in the new "Ireland Births and Baptisms, 1620-1881" collection at pilot.familysearch.org which does not appear to be in either the old "Irish Civil Registration Indexes" collection or the IGI. This is the birth of Denis to Daniel Sullivan and Mary Harrington i...

Re: Hickey Family Culleen Drumline 1665
The Hickeys of Ballycuneen are mentioned in the following articles: author = {Patrick Hogan}, year = 1948, title = {Thady {O'Halloran} of Ballycunneen, Co. Clare. (1727--1798). His Common-Place Book Edited, with a Pedigree and some Notes}, journal = {North Munster Antiquarian Journal}, volume = 5, n...

Re: Master Hugh Brady of Ruan National School, b.ca.1844, d.1918
I paid my first ever visit to Ruan yesterday, which prompted me to review this thread on the famous local schoolteacher. The Clare Library website at http://www.clarelibrary.ie/eolas/coclare/genealogy/don_tran/graves/kilchreest_graveyard_inscriptions_sectiond.htm has the following bilingual inscript...

The "Ireland Births and Baptisms, 1620-1881" collection which can be searched at http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#c=fs%3A1584963&p=collectionDetails appears very similar to a collection which could be searched at http://www.familysearch.org/eng/search/igi/search_IGI.asp?clear_fo...

I just noticed when glancing through the recent published tombstone transcriptions from Old Shanakyle in Kilrush at http://www.clarelibrary.ie/eolas/coclare/genealogy/don_tran/graves/shankill_graveyard_transcriptions_east.htm that a lot of those buried there are described as "Enfant de Marie" or "E ...

Another Clare legacy in 1949 - Clancy of Rockhampton, QLD.
Just came across this in my grandmother's diary for Tuesday 2 August 1949: `Letter from Cissie O'Neill [née Clancy] about some legacy left by a Thomas Joseph Clancy R.I.P. of Rockhampton, Queensland. The Guards are enquiring of Uncle Michael [Clancy, Cissie's father] if he knows anything about him &...

Re: Irish Civil Registration Indexes at pilot.familysearch.org
I agree about the gobbledy-gook. For example, the word `marriage' in the search results has (hopefully temporarily) reverted to `residence', which appeared briefly when the database first went online. I have edited my original posting above to reflect the slight change in the URL for direct access t...

Re: Coolisteige Castle
Hi Noel Welcome to the Clare Past forum! I agree that there appear to have been two Capt. William Taylors in the 28th Regiment, both with connections in Limerick and south-east Clare. Ann Royse's husband, apparently the older of the two, as he married in 1774, is also mentioned in the Limerick Stand...
