Hi DoireM,
Thanks for such a speedy response. I had wondered if the thread was still active.

Hello all,
I found these posts whilst looking for details of my mother's side of the family. I hope this thread is still active.
My mother, Bernadette, was born in 1925 to John Joseph Harhen [1895-1967] and his wife Margaret (nee Doohan) [1892-1986] They lived in Cloonbooly at the time when I visited as a child in the 60's.
My mothers siblings were Christie (Christopher), Frank, Mary, Teresa and Catherine Christine.
I'm told that John Joseph's siblings were John, Ellie, Delia, James, Margaret, Martin, Mary, Michael, Norah, Thomas and two named Kate. The first Kate died as a child and a later daughter was given the same name.
I think that some of the sons emigrated to Australia and some (maybe the same ones) emigrated to New Zealand.
From the 1911 census there is a house 6 in Slievealoughaun (Kinturk, Clare) which shows the residents as:
Harhen John age 70 male Head of family R. Catholic
Harhen Norah age 33 female Daughter R. Catholic
Harhen Michael age 24 male Son R. Catholic
Harhen John age 16 male Son R. Catholic
Harhen Catherine age 14 female Daughter R. Catholic
Harhen James age male Son R. Catholic
This matches up so well that I think it might be the right family. Does this match up with anyone else's information? It would be so helpful to have some independent confirmation.
