"Patrick Carmody was born in Co. Clare in either 1833 or 1834. He was of farming stock, the son of Patrick and Mary Carmody, and, on the occasion of his marriage in 1856, was schoolmaster in Kilballyowen, a townland and civil parish near Loop Head in the south-west extremity of Co. Clare. This was an area noted for proselytism, to which the founding of Protestant schools c. 1849 in Dunaha, Kilballyowen, and Kiltrellig, was perceived as giving impetus. At what time Patrick Carmody converted to the Church of Ireland - as family tradition records he did - is not known; that he had done so by the time of his marriage appears certain.
Patrick Carmody and Catherine Cox were married in the Church of Ireland Parish Church of Kilfearagh, at Kilkee, 2 April 1856. Catherine was daughter of John Cox, farmer, of Kilnagalliagh, parish of Kilfearagh. It was at Kilnagalliagh that their first child, Samuel, was born, 12 February 1857. By 7 November of the following year the family had removed to Rathlaheen, parish of Tomfinlough, between Newmarket-on-Fergus and Sixmilebridge, where the second child, James Arthur, was born on that date. Between then and 9 September 1860 - when their third child, John William, was born in Comeragh - Patrick and Catherine had transferred to Kilrossanty."
