Patrick O'LOUGHLIN went to Sydney Australia in 1866. His shipping documents say he was from Berthree Co. Clare. His parents were Anthony and Mary, and his passage was paid by a cousin Thomas CLUNE.
Can anybody help with any information regarding the town and the family?
???

Suspect there might be a problem finding this place. I checked www.thecore.com/seanruad to find a townland with that name without any result.

The vessel in question was the Peerless, arriving in Oz 1866.

The SeanRuad site I posted earlier in this thread lists all townlands in Ireland.

Thankyou Miltownmal...I'm actually in Australia, but would love to visit one day. The internet is a wonderful tool, and I did have a look on an online map where Lahinch is. It does look like a lovely place.
Your input regarding the Gaelic name is very interesting..stupid ol' me didn't even consider that possibility!
I thought I would try and look at the Irish census and see if there were O'LOUGHLINS in that area..there does seem still to be O'LOGHLIN's there even today.
Thanks again..hopefully I might be able to find through his father's relatively unusual Christian name of 'Anthony' or even his cousin's surname of CLUNE. :)
Regards
MC

Update:
I have just found out it should have read: Martry/Martree!
I suppose if you squint with your left eye, perhaps the B could look like a M!

Hi
I would imagine the place breaffy which has near Spanish point. It may of been misspelled due to the strong accent. It was a town land north and south.
