Hi Sheila,
Thank you for obtaining the 1864 civil death record for Daniel McNamara who ended up being from Newgrove, father of a Patrick McNamara. And I wouldn't worry about any mistranscriptions of the Tulla records. I had previously caught that "John Quinlivan" was "James Quinlivan", it was fairly obvious, and expect other users would also. And for their own family tree, they would always want to go back to the original records to confirm the entries.
Regarding another one of your comments. When the Tulla Union Board of Guardians met in early June 1854, they were reviewing applicants for the position of the master and matron of the workhouse, and not the schoolmaster. Two applicants each for the workhouse master and matron roles had prior experience as schoolmaster and schoolmistress, perhaps this led to the confusion. The circumstances of why the schoolmaster was forced out of his position at the Tulla Workhouse are unknown. However, John Crowe as master of the workhouse held overall responsibility and appears to have been held accountable leading to his own dismissal. The Tulla Board of Guardians advertised separately for the schoolmaster role at the workhouse.

Sheila, with regards to the identity of the Rev. Mr. Quinlivan, he is definitely the Rev. Michael Quinlivan. I was hesitant to make a guess without fully researching. Not sure if you had another read of "Quinlivan of Ballyroughan" which I provided a link to, but the first sentence by Paddy states "the most frustrating family that I have ever tried to research in county Clare". And the last sentence by Margaret, prior to my recent posting, states "it is confusing and there are many members with similar names".
The "Rev. Mr. Quinlivan" frequently appears in the newspaper archives, and I quickly learned that he was a curate in Ennis. "Ennis Cathedral: The Building and Its People" by the Clare Roots Society gives a good history, and names all the parish priest / administrators over the years, but not the curates. But eventually the newspaper accounts revealed the name of the Ennis curate as Michael Quinlivan.
https://www.ennisparish.com/wp-content/ ... istory.pdf
The Rev. Michael Quinlivan's travels to England to raise funds for the "unfinished Chapel of Ennis" was also not included in the parish history. And his obituary (from the posting of Sharon), like most Irish obituaries, was truly boring and more a listing of who attended his funeral. So am sharing the story of the Rev. Michael Quinlivan in England in 1850 as I found it interesting. He meets up with yet another Quinlivan cousin who was a Catholic priest in Cambridge, fundraises further in Dublin, and gets back to Clare in 1851, in time to attend the Tulla Union board of guardian meeting with his so called "nephews".
A debt of £800 is due of the new and unfinished Chapel of Ennis, and Bishop Kennedy has sent the Rev. Mr. Quinlivan to England, to solicit a voluntary rate in aid.

IRELAND.
NEW CATHOLIC CHURCH AT ENNIS.
The Rev. Mr. Quinlivan, the pious and zealous Parish Priest [in fact, only a curate] of Ennis, county Clare, Ireland, is now in London, at the Chapel House, Bermondsey. He intends visiting Manchester, Bristol, Liverpool, and all the important towns of England, for the laudable purpose of collecting funds for the completion of a splendid Catholic Church now erecting in that impoverished town. Already £8,000 have been expended, being subscribed by a faithful people, borne down with Poor Rates, nearly equal to the nett annual value of their holdings. It was the patriotic people of Clare who laid the foundation stone of Catholic Emancipation. Their independent conduct, and the great sacrifices which they made at the memorable Clare election, entitle them to the gratitude of all Catholics, particularly of the nobility and gentry of England, for whom they opened the gates of the Constitution. For this they have ever since been persecuted, and are at length almost completely exterminated by their tyrant landlords. Thousands of them, have been obliged to take shelter in the town of Ennis, where little now remains for them but the consolations of their Holy Religion and its saintly ministers. On their behalf the Rev. Mr. Quinlivan appeals to the Catholic gentry and nobility of England. He comes under the sanction of the Right Rev. Dr. Kennedy, Bishop of the diocese; the Right Rev. Dr. Waring, Bishop of the Eastern District, and many others of the most exalted clergy of both countries. We sincerely wish him success, and hope he will be able to return to his native country, with the same sentiments of gratitude which have ever distinguished the noble inhabitants of Ireland when the cries of their distress have awakened the generosity of England.

CAMBRIDGE.
Our good pastor, the Rev. Thomas Quinlivan, is away from Pumbridge for a short time seeking a little repose from his labours, leaving his "post" to be filled by the Rev. Michael Quinlivan, his cousin, a very amiable and eloquent Priest, just such a one to work many conversions in this land of heresy. I cannot attempt to describe to you the good effects produced by this three Sermons on Sunday the 8th inst., . . .
Weekly Register and Catholic Standard, London, Saturday, 21 September 1850
THE NEW CHURCH OF ENNIS.—The Rev. Mr. Quinlivan, the respected curate of Ennis, is at present on a mission in this city [Dublin], to collect funds to complete the New Church, which is already being erected, and which is so much needed in this town, for the accommodation of the people of an extensive parish. The reverend gentleman comes with peculiar claims from that locality—from the citadel of Catholic Emancipation, and from amongst a people generally reduced to poverty by oppressions which are known to the whole kingdom, and from which the houses of divine worship may almost be said to stand alone exempt. A people in such circumstances are manifestly in need of charitable assistance for so laudable an undertaking.—Nation. [Dublin newspaper]
Limerick and Clare Examiner, Wednesday, 22 January 1851
The Rev. Mr. Quinlivan who attended the May 1851 meeting at the Tulla Union Board of Guardians, along with "his nephews" was definitely the Rev. Michael Quinlivan (≈1815 - 1894).
Who were his "nephews"? Sheila, there were definitely two men named James Quinlivan living in Garruragh. This is both reflected in Griffith Valuation, "James Quinlivan (Larry)" in Plot 15, and "James Quinlivan (Tom)" in Plot 17 and Plot 18. Also, in the Tulla baptism register, there are two different couples living in Garruragh / Rath having children baptized: James Quinlivan and Mary McNamara; and James Quinlivan and Mary Caroll. At the same reported residence of Garruragh / Rath are also John Quinlivan and Mary Boland. Their neighbor in Plot 16 was a John Boland, who in the Tulla baptism register was married to Mary Quinlivan.
With the map that accompanies Griffith Valuation, it appears that the Tulla Workhouse (Plot 14) had taken the southern portion of Plot 17, held by "James Quinlivan (Tom)" which was reduced to only 17 acres. North of Plot 17 was Plot 15, held by "James Quinlivan (Larry)", 32 acres. The location of their houses in the two plots are shouting distance from each other. I reckon both James of Plot 15 and James of Plot 17 attended the May 1851 meeting with the Board of Guardians. The newspaper reported the Rev. Mr. Quinlivan as their "uncle", but this might not necessarily be true. Although prosperous farmers the Quinlivans of Garruragh would have wanted to have the Rev. Michael Quinlivan, of high social status and known to be very eloquent, to represent them. The Rev. Michael Quinlivan (≈1815 - 1894) could have been their first or second cousin, possibly once removed, but I reckon was unlikely to have been their "uncle".
The Rev. Michael Quinlivan (≈1815 - 1894) was actually younger and outlasted his two "nephews", James Quinlivan (≈1812 - 1883) of Garruragh Plot 17 and James Quinlivan (≈1806 - 1879) of Garruragh Plot 15. Sheila, it was very challenging determining which James Quinlivan died in 1879 versus 1883. Plus, they were both married to a "Mary", one two times, so it was challenging to determine which Mary died when. Plus, the names of their children were mostly in common. The key evidence was your discovery of the 1874 marriage announcement in an Australian newspaper which identified Honoria Quinlivan as the fourth daughter of James McNamara.
In the below family tree research, the later whereabouts of most of the Quinlivans are noted as "unknown", but mostly "unresearched". I did research more fully the Matthew Keane, mentioned in your last posting as married to Annie Quinlivan, since as a Coercion Suspect who later moves to Brooklyn, he was interesting. Their descendants, using only the civil records index available on ancestry, have Annie's parents as James Quinlivan and Catherine Connell of Lisofin, Tulla, and without the passenger listing are unaware that Annie Keane also immigrated to Brooklyn.
Sheila, we've struggled to determine why the population of Garruragh declined from 305 in the 1851 census to only 127 in 1861, a 58% decline. And a similar decline in the number of physical houses; which mostly occurred between 1851 and 1855. Researching further the Quinlivans of Garruragh has led to a likely explanation. The Garruraghians, I reckon, left Clare en masse for Victoria, Australia to participate in the Victorian Gold Rush which began in 1851.

********* Family of Thomas Quinlivan of Garruragh Townland, Tulla *********
Thomas Quinlivan of Rath, Garruragh townland, on the Tithe Applotments dated 11 February 1827 held 33 acres in total (10 acres of 1st quality, 10 acres of 2nd quality, and 13 acres of 3rd quality). Total tithe amount of £1 9s 11d. Same property details as next tenant, a John Hogan.
http://titheapplotmentbooks.nationalarc ... _00622.pdf
A Thomas Quinlivan and Laurence Quinlivan, both of Garrura, were witnesses at the marriage of a Miss Quinlivan (unknown first name) of Garrura to Tim Linane of Clouney in March 1822 (Tulla marriage register, 1819-1846). Bridget Quinlivan and Thady Linnane, of Maghera, baptized a son, Patrick Linnane, on 7 January 1823; sponsors Michael Linnane and E. Quinlivan (Quin-Clooney baptisms, 1816-1855). Later whereabouts unknown.
A Thomas Quinlivan was a witness at the marriage of Mary Quinlivan (likely Rath) to John Boland of Rath in February 1839.
Thomas Quinlivan appears to have died prior to 1855 Griffith Valuation, when Plot 17 of Garruragh townland was held by "Jas. Quinlivan (Tom)". The acreage of Plot 17 was only 17 acres which had been reduced with the building of the Tulla Workhouse (Plot 14) in 1852. James Quinlivan (Tom) also held land at Plot 18 (36 acres). Carroll Daly, the brother-in-law of James Quinlivan, also had a small house on the property at Plot 17b and shared Plot 18.
1.0 James Quinlivan (≈1812 - 1883)
Assumed to be the son of Thomas Quinlivan due to the 1855 Griffith Valuation report which distinguished between two tenants named James Quinlivan. The Plot 17 tenant was "Jas Quinlivan (Tom)", as in James Quinlivan, son of Thomas Quinlivan..
James Quinlivan was married to Mary Carroll as shown in the Tulla baptism records, but their marriage has not been found in any parish marriage register. Their first known child was baptized in 1845 in Tulla Parish. However, the Tulla marriage records have missing several pages in the early 1840's, so not clear who was their first born child. Entirely possible that James Quinlivan named his first born son, Thomas, after his assumed father.
There were two James Quinlivans in Garruragh, one died in 1879 and the other in 1883. The other James died in 1883 since he was still living in 1880 when his daughter, Honor, was married. Both James Quinlivans had a daughter named Honor, but the Honor who married in 1874 in Australia was reported to be the "fourth daughter of James Quinlivan".
James Quinlivan, of Garuragh, married, 71 years old, died on 15 June 1883; informant Matthew Keane of Tulla. Matthew Keane of Tulla, was the informant on the death record for both James Quinlivans; he was the son-in-law of the other James Quinlivan married to Mary McNamara.

The Australian Death Index states age as 33 (born about 1855), and parents as John Boland and "Mary Quinnlian" (certificate #1009). Correct parents and a nice headstone (stating birth in Tulla) indicates she likely had family living in Corburg.

4.0 John Quinlivan (≈1820 ? - to Victoria - 1882)
John Quinlivan's first born son was named Thomas; the only evidence that he might be the son of Thomas Quinlivan of Garruragh. An Australian death record might provide evidence of his parents.
John Quinlivan, of Ragh, married
Mary Boland, of "Lacaru", in February 1841 in Tulla Parish; witnesses Michael Boland of "Lacaru", and a scribbled name from Feakle (Tulla marriage register, 1819-1846).
The location on the 1841 marriage record of "Ragh" might be the same as "Raghill" located in "Rathhill" in Tulla. This was the "abode" and "situation of freehold" of a John Quinlivan in the 1821 Freeholders listing; lease owner left blank; dated 18 January 1813. Is "Rathhill" the same as "Rath", the locality in Garrura?

John Quinlivan and
Mary Boland were the parents of six children between 1843 and 1852. Mary Boland Quinlivan likely died in 1852 or 1853.
John Quinlivan (age 37), an agricultural laborer, and four children, Mary (age 12), Thomas (age 11), Margaret (age 8 ), and Michael (age 6), all born in Clare, arrived in Melbourne, Victoria, on 28 February 1854, on the
Blenheim which had departed Plymouth; "gone to brother-in-law" written in the remarks.
"John Quinlan" died 1882 in Prahan, an inner suburb of Melbourne close to St. Kilda, at the reported age of 60, no parents reported on the index (or possibly the original document #6544). On 4 April 1882, "John Quinlivan" was interred at the Catholic section of St. Kilda Cemetery in Compartment B, Grave 389.

.................... 4.1 Mary Quinlivan (1843 - to Victoria - 1927), no residence reported, was baptized in September 1843; father John Quinlivan and mother Mary Boland; sponsor E McNamara (Tulla baptism register, 1819-1846).
"Bridget Mary" Quinlivan was married in 1878 in Melbourne to
Ambrose Bowles (≈1829 - 1889), a widower with many young children. Ambrose was born in Feakle to James Bowles and Mary Ann McMahon; this family was discussed briefly on page 14 of this thread. "Bridget Mary Bowles" died in St. Kilda, Victoria, in 1927, at the reported age of 88, parents reported as John Quinlivan and Mary Boland (cert # 7825). Informant was likely her sister, Margaret Quinlivan.

"Michael Quinlan" married Oxford born
Annie Burdon in 1871 in Victoria (cert # 765).
"Michael Quinlan" died on 26 June 1931 in Brighton, Victoria, at the reported age of 81 years, father reported as "Thomas Quinlan" and mother as Mary Boland (cert #4020). The mistake in his father's name was due, in part, to his two sisters having died in 1927 and thus unable to tell their nephews/nieces their correct grandfather's name. A major roadblock for their descendants.

******** Family of Laurence Quinlivan of Garruragh Townland, Tulla **********
A Laurence Quinlivan and Thomas Quinlivan, both of Garrura, were witnesses at the marriage of Bridget Quinlivan of Garrura to Tim Linane of Clouney in March 1822 (Tulla marriage register, 1819-1846).
1825 Freeholders list for Tulla Barony (not on-line; only available at the Local Studies Centre in Ennis, and NLI in Dublin; information below from posting by Paddy Waldron):
Laurence Quinlivan, Abode - Rath, freehold- Rath, Landlord - Mrs. Comyn, Lives on lease - Edmond, John and James Quinlivan.
In the Tithe Applotments, dated 11 February 1827, a James Quinlivan was a tenant, reported the last of Rath tenants, of just 3 acres (3rd quality) with a valuation of only 2 shillings. A Thomas Quinlivan leased a property of 33 acres.
http://titheapplotmentbooks.nationalarc ... _00622.pdf
By the 1829 Freeholders Listing, available on-line at the Clare Library, Thomas Quinlivan and James Quinlivan, both with house and lands at Rath, Tulla Barony, sessions held on 13 June 1829, both freehold worth of £10.
https://www.clarelibrary.ie/eolas/cocla ... urname.htm
In the 1827 Tithe Applotments, the land holding of Laurence Quinlivan was identical in size, quality of acres, and value, to the holding of John Hogan — who does not appear on the 1829 Freeholder listing (or the Tulla baptism records as a father). Had James Quinlivan, son of Laurence Quinlivan, taken over the lease for these lands?
At 1855 Griffith Valuation for Garruragh townland, Plot 15 was held by "James Quinlivan (Larry)"; this James appears to be the son of Laurence Quinlivan and the extra detail reported to distinguish him from "James Quinlivan (Tom)".
1.0 Edmond Quinlivan
An Edmond was reported as "Lives on Lease" for the Rath freehold of Laurence Quinlivan in an 1825 Freeholders List. I do not know whether or not this is evidence that Edmond was a son of Laurence Quinlivan.
2.0 John Quinlivan
A John was reported as "Lives on Lease" for the Rath freehold of Laurence Quinlivan in an 1825 Freeholders List. I do not know whether or not this is evidence that John was a son of Laurence Quinlivan.
3.0 James Laurence Quinlivan (≈1806 - 1879)
A James was reported as "Lives on Lease" for the Rath freehold of Laurence Quinlivan in an 1825 Freeholders List. I do not know if this is solid evidence that James was a son of Laurence Quinlivan. However, the 1855 Griffith Valuation report of a "Jas Quinlivan (Larry)" for Garruragh townland indicates that this would be the case.
James Quinlivan of Rath was married twice, first to Mary Canny and then to Mary McNamara. This is known as when the second born daughter of James Quinlivan and Mary McNamara, Honoria, born in 1845, was married in Australia in 1874, the marriage announcement reported her as the fourth born daughter of James Quinlivan; James having had three daughters previously with Mary Canny. Presumably, one of the three daughters died young making Honoria married in 1874 the fourth born daughter. Her Australia death record also confirms that she is the daughter of James McNamara and Mary McNamara.
There are two death records for a James Quinlivan of Garruragh who died in 1879 and another in 1883, Matthew Keane of Tulla is the informant for both. When Honor Quinlivan, the daughter of James McNamara and Mary Carroll, married in 1880, the father of the groom (Carol Daly) was reported as "deceased", but not the father of the bride, James McNamara (married to Mary Carroll, and also uncle of the groom). Therefore, the James Laurence Quinlivan, married to Mary Carroll, must have died in 1883, and the James Quinlivan, married to Mary McNamara, must have did in 1879
James Quinlivan, of Garuragh, married, age 73 years, farmer, died on 25 September 1879; informant Matthew Keane of Tulla (not reported, but his son-in-law and an ex-Coercion Suspect). Tulla registration, reported as Galway in error:
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/ ... 869685.pdf
The marriage of James Quinlivan and Mary Canny is unknown. They were the parents of three daughters baptized in the Tulla baptism register between 1833 and 1838. Mary Canny Quinlivan died sometime between 1838 and about 1842.
.................... 3.1 Margaret Quinlivan (1833 - unknown), of Garura, was baptized on 19 April 1833; father James Quinlivan and mother "Mary Canny"; sponsors Pat Canny and Margaret Quinlivan (Tulla baptism register, 1819-1846).
Possibly, the Margaret Quinlivan, of Tulla, who married John Doogan, of Clooney, on 26 February 1848; witnesses Tom Doogan and James Quinlivan (Tulla marriage register, 1846-1861). Later whereabouts unknown.
.................... 3.2 Mary Quinlivan (1835 - unknown), of Rath, was baptized on 1 July 1835; father James Quinlivan and mother "Mary Canny"; sponsors Edmond McNamara and Bridget Quinlivan (Tulla baptism register, 1819-1846).
.................... 3.3 Bridget "Bid" Quinlivan (1838 - unknown), of Rath, was baptized on 14 April 1838; father James Quinlivan and mother "Mary Couny (?)"; sponsors Mr(?). Butler and Laurence Butler (Tulla baptism register, 1819-1846).
James McNamara (≈1806 - 1879) and
Mary McNamara (≈1820 - 1884) of Rath, Garrura, were the parents of nine children: eight reported in the Tulla baptism registers between 1845 and 1862, and one daughter (Helen) born about 1843, a period of missing baptism pages. Their marriage, anytime between 1838 and prior to the birth of Helen in 1843, is unknown.
Mary Quinlivan, of Garuragh, farmer's widow, died on 3 May 1884 at the reported ago 64; informant Matt Keane of Tulla (Tulla registration, reported as Galway in error). Not reported, but Matthew Keane of Tulla was her son-in-law.

.................... 3.? May 1841 through July 1841, missing page of Tulla baptism register.
.................... 3.4 Helen Quinlivan (≈1843 - to Victoria - 1926) was baptized in a period of the early 1840's when Tulla parish has missing baptism pages. According to the Australia Death Index, when she died in 1926, her age of 77 years reflected a birth year of 1849. Her age was likely fibbed by about five years to make her younger than her husband, born in 1848. Her parents were reported as James Quinlivan and Mary McNamara on the 1926 death certificate (#7112).
Per the Australia Marriage Index, Helen Quinlivan married James Quinlivan in Victoria in 1879. When James Quinlivan died in Port Melbourne in 1942, at the age of 92 , his parents were reported as "Thomas Quinlivan" and "Catherine McInerney" (cert #943). James Quinlivan was baptized on 7 March 1848; father was Thomas Quinlivan; and mother was scribbled "McInerney" (transcribed as "M. Meany"), a consistent scribble as the sponsor Edmond McInerney. Thomas Quinlivan and Catherine McInerney were the parents of at least eight children in Liscullane, Tulla parish. Helen Quinlivan and James Quinlivan would have known each other since childhood.

At Ballyroghan, in this County, Mrs. James Quinlivan, of a son.
Clare Journal, and Ennis Advertiser, Monday, 18 January 1847
A confusing newspaper article. The Quinlivans of Ballyroughan had no children born in January 1847; I also reviewed Quin parish records by date with no luck. The Clare Journal must be referring to the Laurence Quinlivan who will later be baptized in Tulla on the 31st of January. But they lived in Garruragh in Tulla parish. Was reporting "Ballyroghan" a simple mistake by the newspaper?
Laurence Quinlivan emigrated to Victoria. He married
Margaret Ellen McInerney in Ballarat in 1878. Per the Australia Death Index, Lawrence Quinlivan, age 39, died in Melbourne in 1884; parents reported as James Quinlivan and Mary McNamara (cert # 5233).
