I wrote another post below, but hoping that maybe someone can help me find more information on them. According to Elizabeth Mary Cleary (nee Doyle) obituary, she came from a well known and popular family. See obituary below:
The death occurred at her residence, Whitechurch, New Ross on Sunday, 2nd inst., of Mrs. Elizabeth Cleary, relict (??) of the late Patrick Cleary, an extensive farmer, well known in public and sporting life, and a member of widely connected and very popular family. The deceased, who posessed many intellectual gifts, was connected with well know families in the counties of Wexford and Kilkenny. She was sister-in-law of the late Right Rev. Monsingor (sp?) Cleary, P.P. of Petaluma, California who returned to his native place near Raheen, Adamstown some twenty -five years ago where he died. She was also a cousin of Rev. J. Meaney C.C. Kilkenny. Many members of the families of both herself and her husband have been well known in the public, professional and commercial life. She was held in great esteem by all classes and creeds. She passed away after receiving the last rites of Holy Church with exemplary resignation and religious fervour. Her family have been the recipients of the deepest sympathy. The funeral to Whitechurch Cemetary on Tuesday after Office and High Mass in Ballykelly Church was attended by a huge gathering of people from the New Ross, Ennniscorthy, Wexford and Kilkenny districts.
The chief mourners were - Mssrs. Walter, Simon, Willie and Philip Cleary (sons), Mrs. L. Roban, Enniscorthy (daughter), Mrs P. Cleary, Whitechurs; Mrs. W. Cleary, do; Mrs. W Cleary, Killesk (daughters-in-law), Mr. Myles Roban, Enniscorthy (son-in-law), Master Patk. Molloy and Niss Nannie Molloy (grandchildren), Mrs W. J. Rochem, Royal Hotel, New Ross and Mr. Wm. J Roche, do; Mr. Patrick Cleary, Ballyanne (niece and nephews); Rev. J Meaney, CC Kilkenny; Miss B. Meaney, C.C. Kilkenny; Miss B. Meaney, Ballilogue; Messrs Patric James and Con Meaney, do; Robert Barron, postmaster, Campile and ?? Barron, do.
The last paragraph is torn but I think it mentions all of the priests who attended...
,,,,,,,At the Office and High Mass Rev Canon Redmond, P.P, Horsey presided,
I also found a wedding picture of Elizabeth's son, William Cleary from 1933 online by googling some of the family.
http://homepage.eircom.net/~horeswoodns/memorylane11.htmObviously they were well known, due to having a wedding photo in the family history section of the school's page. No one just puts a random family up.
I have found all the siblings due to the 1901 and 1911 census. What i'm really looking for is records on Elizabeth Mary Doyle and Patrick Cleary. Their first daughter was born in 1880, Mary. I can't find their marriage record. Elizabeth was born around 1862-1865 and Patrick around 1852.
