Maher Family in Clintstown, Kilkenny

[ciaranl]

Hi Steve Burns, just wonedring if in your research you came across a David Maher who married Anastasia  (Anty) Barlow or Barton in KIlkenny in 1846?

This David Maher was thought to be a member of the 48th Foot Regiment..

I'm actually trying to find a John Maher convictd at Limerick in 1851 (receiving stolen goods) and transported to Fremantle, Western Australia, in 1853.  This John Maher who died 1902, Albany, Western Australia, has David Maher and Anna Kelly cited as his parents on his death cert.

A long shot, but possibly related your Mahers of Clintstown, Kilkenny

Hi I'm a Maher from Clinstown Co. Kilkenny it's more commonly spelt without the 2nd T. We are the only family of Mahers in Clinstown at present. However, Clontubrid cemetery would be close by where most of our ancestors were buried they're tombstones date back to famine times mid 1800s and possibly before. If you've found no luck there maybe clontubrid or Freshford might be worth a luck. Best of luck 🍀
