Hi everyone. I figured this would be a needle in a haystack, but figured I'd at least ask anyways. I recently came into contact with a very distant relative via my mother's side who was kind enough to provide me some information on her family's side who lives in Australia. She did mention that she couldn't find anything on her grandfather's brother a John O'Connor but she did provide me some information in terms of family and that they lived in Clare. I was hoping to return the favor and see if there was anyway I could provide her some insight, despite how small. I tried digging on my end on the national Irish archives and irishgenealogy.ie with little to no success. Any assistance or feedback is appreciated as always. Thank you.

Thank you for that, I wasn't aware that the town could be placed there, thought it was if you knew the local parish name.

Thank you for all the great feedback everyone. Still need to learn my ways around the free sites so it seems! I really appreciate all the help!

That would be the Registration DISTRICT for that area.
Having the names of children on Census you can look for them Marrying around age of 20/25 by adapting that Search, ticking marriages and year ranges
or check any Deaths from dates on g/stones, etc.
Quite easy to use!

Doing this search on 1911 Census doesn't show Maria... http://www.rootschat.com/links/01o19/

Hi all - William O’Connor’s brother John was married to my GGrandfather James Leyden’s sister Maria (Mary) Leyden in 1879 in county Clare. They had 8 children. Mary Leyden was born 1856 but don’t have her exact year of death but think it was 1913. Two of her children were living with their Leyden Grandmother Bridget in the 1901 census. I suspect Maria (Mary) was hospitalised in the Ennis asylum as she does not appear in the census records. Maria was one of 12 children - she being the 2nd child and my ggrandfather James the 3rd child. He immigrated to melbourne Australia in 1883 where he died 1932. The last remains sibling of Mary and James was Tom leyden who died on the Leyden farm in Drumquin on the Shannon estuary in 1954 aged approx 84.

Further to my previous post re John O’Connor, brother of William - he and Maria (Mary Leyden) children were Jane (1880), Tom (1882), Mary (?), Margaret (1884), Ann(1887), Ellen (1889), Emilie (1891), Patrick (1893), Catherine (1895) all born in kildysert County Clare. I don’t have dates of death to this point.
