how to contact Clooney parish

[Chicabee]

Anyone have an address and/or suggestions on how I contact Clooney parish to request records from the late 1800's?

Info I have on my g-grandfather:
the lds website shows a james quigley born in the parish of clooney near ennis in co clare in 1869 to an andrew q and his wife eliza mcnamara.

Thanx much

Chickabee:
Here is a link to the church records section of the http://www.clarelibrary.ie/eolas/coclare/genealogy/parishes.htm

Go to the Home page also. This is a great site and has a wealth of info. For example, here is the 1901 census for Muckinish townland which is in the civil parish of Clooney. You will see some Quigleys and McNamaras there.

Good luck,

Hi Chicabee,I wonder if you made contact with the parish of Quin & Clooney? They are notorious for not answering letters,or taking many weeks to do so.Anyway for what it is worth the address is The secretary,Parish House,Quin,Co.Clare,Ireland.
I think the problem is that there is only one volounteer member of staff.The last reply I had from them took 7 weeks.
Best of luck with your research.
