Hello Therese
The Margaret you reference is my Great Grandmother, born about 1854. The Ennistymon Union recorded: "1/26/1869 In Liscannor the marriage of Robert Greene 23 a single farmer living in Caherbarna. Father: Michael Greene, farmer. Bride: Margaret Dunleavy age 15 single the daughter of farmer Thomas Dunleavy of Caherbarna Wit: Anne and William Greene."
This couple went on to have at least 10 children, including my grandmother Elizabeth Greene, who emigrated to the US in 1908. Once here she met and married Austin Dunleavy from Knockaskeheen (Lisdoonvarna). Unknown as to whether or how they may have been related, but family lore is that they did not know each other in the old country.
Somewhere along the way I found that Margaret's brother Thomas married a Mary Deloughery (or Delahouny) and they had 3 children: Catherine (1874), Thomas (1876) and Maria (Abt 1882). Trail ends there
Believe Margaret died on February 13, 1902 and is buried in the Lagh Cloon Cemetery, just outside of Lisconnor. My great grandfather Michael Greene was still alive in 1908 when my grandmother emigrated.
In 1999 when I last visited Ireland, the only Dunleavy still living around Caherbarna was a bachelor named Patrick (Patsy), who was in his late 70's. The Greene family still has a farm in Caherbarna
