Descendants of THOMAS O'HEHIR, IRELAND

[diseymary]

Hello, Thomas O'Hehir, born Dromod, Bodyke, Ireland, was brother of Michael Francis O'Hehir born 1862, my great grandfather who emigrated to Australia and changed his name to O'Hare, (married Eliza Cornish from Perranarworthal, Cornwall). Their parents were Michael O'Hehir and Bridget O'Brien, that is all I know of them. Their other siblings were John and Ellen. Thomas married Mary Ann McInerney, they had 9 daughters and 3 sons, some remained in Ireland. I am interested in finding any descendants of these children, who may have knowledge of the O'Hehir family history.
Thank you

If you haven't already done so, a good way to make surname connections with other members is to enter your surname interests in the Surname Interests Table (SIT), and to check there whether others are researching these names. 

This can be found at http://surname.rootschat.com/ , there is a link to it under "Your Tools" at the bottom of each Rootschat page.

The more people who enter their surnames, the more chance there will be of making a connection!

In the meantime, I will move this thread to the Clare board.

I am Beryl Eileen Worsley. My grandfather is Arthur Francis O'Hare. My great-grandfather is Michael Francis O'Hare (Hehir) of Dromod, Bodyke, County Clare, born 5 October 1860 (I believe). I would like to know when my great-grandfather Michael Francis O'Hare migrated to Australia. I've been reading about the Bodyke evictions in 1880 when tenants were evicted from their land because of unpaid rent and wonder if that may have been why he migrated.

I am not sure this fits with the names given here though.
