Have you looked at the Ormsby family tree in Burke's Irish Family Records ?

Freeman's Journal - Wednesday 21 May 1851
BIRTHS
At Emmadale, Six-mile-bridge, county Clare, the lady of John Ormsby Stenson, Esq. of a daughter.

Another piece of the puzzle. I am guessing that Emmadale is the same place as Emma Vale and is in Six Mile Bridge, so maybe it is the name of a house.

I noted earlier on this thread the death of Henry Stenson, RIC, Athea, so should also note his daughter's marriage to Thomas O'Grady in the Limerick Chronicle 4 Oct 1870.

General Advertiser and Limerick Gazette Feb 3 1818
Marriages
At Ballacrin House, Roscrea, Thomas Stenson, Esq., of Broadfort, county Clare, to Eliza, daughter of Denis O' Meara, Esq.

Vere Stenson and his Hanrahan wife appear in this Hanrahan family tree.
