Hi Greetings from Australia,
I was just wondering if there is anyone researching or knows about my Mungovan family from Ennis. I have a father known as James Mungovan and wife Anne Duffy. Children I have managed to find so far are Anne (my great-great grandmother), brother Martin, brother Patrick who married Susan Connors, and possibly a sister Bridget who came to Australia with Anne. Martin, Patrick/Susan and children, also came to Victoria, Australia.
My details are a little sketchy. I have found a James Mungovan in Griffiths Valuation from Drumcliff and I have found two children of Patrick and Susan being baptised via the Ennis Parish website.
Sorry my details are sketchy, but I thought it worth the post and any suggestions that could be offered in helping me with my research would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Suzanne

Hi Suzanne,
You might like to look at the Mungovans (and variant spellings) in the Ennis (De Valera) Sinn Fein Club Alphabetical List of members at http://www.clarelibrary.ie/eolas/coclar ... _club3.htm and the ceramic letter A which was collected by John Boyd of Ennis around 1988 and which came from Mungovan’s Bar in Parnell Street, Ennis, where it was part of the shop front signage (see http://www.clarelibrary.ie/eolas/clarem ... tter_r.htm ).
Mungovans were neighbours of my G-grandparents in Shanballysallagh but that's a few miles north of Ennis and they left a long while back.
Interestingly, Chris Mungovan of Cambridge, UK, worked on one of the Clare Library transcription projects in 2004 and he was working on the Mungovan family. I don't have his contact details.

Hi Paddy
Thank you for your reply to my post. You have given me some more hints. I might try and track down Chris Mungovan in the UK and see if I can make contact with him. The spelling variants certainly don't help.
Cheers,
Suzanne
