Hi lam trying to locate any parish records for Kilmoon church l am trying to locate the marriage of John Stack to Margaret Mcinerney/Mckinerny Their son John was born 1893 kilmoon
The couple are listed on 1901 census as living in house 5 kilmoon west Clouglraun Clare with their other children Thomas aged 13 Mary 12 Michael 7 John 5 Agnes 3 they all are listed as being born Co Clare. l would to be able to find out John and Margaret's parents names if possible

is this your Stack family on the 1901 census ?
Stack household - 1901 (http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Clare/Cloughaun/Kilmoon_West/1074813/)
I would start the search with civil records, as an index to these can be searched online on the FamilySearch website.. very few parish records for Co. Clare are available online - see the Clare resources and links topic at the top of this board.
Going by the 1901 details John and Margaret would have married around 1887, and since they and all the children were born in Co. Clare, I'd say that's where the marriage is likely to be. A marriage cert will show father's names and occupation for John and Margaret and allow you to work a step further back..
If their ages are accurate then both of them should be included in Civil record.

thanks for your help

Hi
John Stack was my great grandfather and their son Michael my grandfather who lived in Kilmoon. My father was also born in Kilmoon. He may have more information you require as most records were held at the parish church. What line are you looking at?

Hi Both,
John Stack was my gg grandfather through his son John Stack. Please can you contact me I would love you to hear any info you have on the stack or Coniry / McKinirey family.
I believe they have 8 children / 6 of which were still alive in the 1911 census. I only have the names for 5 of them.
Thomas, Mary, Michael, John & Agnes.
I believe Johns father was Thomas & Margarets father was Pat?

Is Agnes a variant of Margaret?

Quite possible nice find Sinann thank you. It could also be the missing child I didnt find.
The mother Margaret - seemed to be born as Coniry and then later appears as McKinirey

Quite possible - I had seen this one and not ruled it out but like you could not find the birth.
Have also looked through the Lisdoonvarna & Ballyvaughan baptism records on NLI and couldnt find John Stack born 1864.

You get a lot of people adding on/ putting back on 'O' and 'Mc' after the Gaelic Revival started.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaelic_revival
It can be very uneven, first use of an O in one of my families is about 1913, yet my mother is the first in her immediate family to be registered with an O in 1928, later the same year her brother's death is registered without an O.

Thanks to you giving me the right district I have found a couple of birth records and also one of a new child Bridget in 1885.
