Wall family, Clonlara
« on: Sunday 24 July 11 14:00 BST (UK) »
Hello, I'm brand new to this forum so please excuse me if I haven't done this right, but would anyone have any information on the Wall family from Clonlara, County Clare? I'm particularly interested in Mary Wall, born 1836 and her parents. I have very limited information on her parents, only their first names: James and Mary.

Thank you,
Joanna

Thanks Jack! I'm not sure if it's the same family but I'll certainly look into it. Thanks for your help!

 I have some information that might be of some use to you. I live in the Clonlara area and I have a contact,  that would know some of the history of the Wall family. The Wall family home is in the townland of Oakfield Clonlara. The original owner of the house was a man by the name of Dan Madden. When he died his niece Maryanne Madden inherited the house, she in turn married a man by the name O'Dwyer whose daughter Maryanne married James Wall sometime between 1910-1915. This marriage produced 2 sons Edward and James, Maryanne died around 1980. The Wall family never lived at Clonlara Cross and there is also no evidence in the 1844 tithe aplottments to suggest that they lived there.The family never lived in  Doonass, their land there was  known as Walls hill.
                                         Regards Teresa.

Thank you Teresa. My Mary Wall moved to Australia so the one you mentioned might be a relative of hers. Thank you for your help!
