Marrinan/Kelly Family in Shragh , Co. Clare

[mkftandc]

Hi Everyone,

I am searching for any information on Peter Marrinan and Bridget Falsey.

The only thing I know about them is that they had a daughter named Bridget Marrinan b. 15 Apr 1840.

They were from Shragh, Co. Clare.

Bridget Marrinan marries a John Kelly b. 1939 in Shragh

I don't have a marriage date for them , but a US Census states that they came to America in 1860.

They came to America to live with a Mary (Kelly ) Blackhall.

Mary Kelly Blackhall was the daughter of John Kelly and Johanna Scanlon,
b.25 Mar 1830 in Co. Clare

Mary Kelly married a Thomas Blackhall on 25 Feb 1858 in Ireland. Immigrated shortly afterwards to US.

This is all I have on the Marrinan's and Kellys. Does anyone know of a Catholic Church in Shragh and if they hold any records.

This would be my first search in Co. Clare and I don't really know where to start. Any ideas ??


Thank you ,
Megan
