Title: CLIFFORD FAMILY
Post by: Lisa_s21 on Monday 13 September 10 23:03 BST (UK)

I am trying to find the family of Cornelius Clifford who, apparently was born in Co.Kerry Ireland between late 1820's and early 1830's.

According to his marriage cert in 1855 which took place in Merthyr Tydfil, Wales, and his father was called Daniel and he was already deceased . I am trying to find the births.

Can anyone help me with anything regarding this? I don't know where to start.

Thanks,

The first place to try is the parish records at : www.irishgenealogy.ie  (free website)

The website includes many Catholic and Church of Ireland records for Co. Kerry.

I have a feeling that these are the same people. I have looked at the same censuses myself, and are trying to find out the irish side of things.

Who is Patrick Clifford that you mentioned?   ???

That name was mentioned at the end of the family stated on the list.
May have been living in Kerry at some time,

the parish record website mentioned earlier is your best bet (www.irishgenalogy.ie) - but remember that not all parishes will have records for the kind of dates you are interested in.

Do you know what part of Co. Kerry your Clifford family came from ?

I found a few different Clifford families in various parishes in Co. Kerry around 1829 on the Irish Genealogy website where the husbands name is Daniel .. but no sign of a Corneilius or Neil. Here are the details in case they are of any use :

Father in all cases Daniel Clifford

Mother	Parish	Children
Alice Ready/Reidy	Killarney RC	Lucy 1829, Ann 1830, Augustus 1832
Ellen Reidy	Killeentierna RC	Mary Ann 1831
Mary Connolly	Kilgarvan RC	Mary 1830
Ann Spillane	Killarney RC	Ellen 1825, Hanora 1828
Margaret Sullivan	Killarney RC	Patrick 1826
Margaret McCarthy	Killarney RC	Julia 1831
Elizabeth Quirk	Firies RC	Elizabeth 1832
