Darcys of Duniry (Donohoe, Clarke, Shiel)

[QueenD]

My great grandfather, Thomas Darcy, was a postman in Duniry.  Had one sister, Mary.  Married Bridget "Mamada" Murphy from Castledermot, Co. Kildare.  She worked for Lord Westmeath, handling his affairs, and traveled to Palace, Duniry with him.

Kids:
MaryAnn "Dolly" XXXX
Rose - XXXX
Michael "Sonny" XXXX

Any info about the Darcy family further back?  Or Shiels Clarkes or Donohoes?  Anyone related?

Thanks,
Dee

1901 census from family history society D'Arcy from Duniry.
Eleanor D'Arcy married John Brady, he died 1899 and was a RIC member, they had Annie Theresa born 1884, Bridget Mary (in census it said Bidelia) 1886, Louisa Kathleen or catherine, 1887, Eleanor Frances, June 22, 1889 and Christine Margaret, December 26, 1890. Michael D'Arcy, brother, age 48,
Mother Anne D'Arcy 75, nephew James Lawrence D'Arcy age14 from Galway Town, a niece Mary Anne D'Arcy age 20.
Do these names mean anything to anyone? I believe that James Lawrence is the son of my great grandfather, James Lawrence D'Arcy who was a member of the RIC and married Mary J. O'Sullivan.

Grannypat5, I am going to show some relatives your info and see if it rings a bell.  I will get back to you.

We believe that the couple split up after the death of the 9-year-old. Jane & Standish went to live with an Aunt and Uncle at a very early age. The oldest girl, Francis, went to live with Grandfather Major John Talbot D'ARCY in Castlepark, Roscommon. We don't show the couple ever reclaiming the children nor ever reconciling. Would love to find out what happened or any additional information for our family.) (*)

The family lived in Galway (Fair Hill), until all the children except Lawrence (or James Lawrence or even Michael Lawrence) emigrated to the United States (first lived in Brooklyn, NY) between 1912 and 1914/15. Maybe I can even find family members of the brother who remained in Ireland.), (*)
