Hi Lorry,

Sarah Jane's DoB and David Fleming's DoB may be correct but things do not look right.
Jane Miller Fleming born when Sarah was 56 and Robert born when she was 73 ?
It would appear as though you should be looking through old newspapers of the time.
A woman having a child at age 73 in this day and age usually hits the headlines.   :D

This family appears in one record as from Antrim Co. and the surnames are usually spelled Flemming/Fleming and McCleary/(misread as McClury.)   There were several centers in Antrim  of  McCleary/McCleery families, but I don't know where Flemings tended to live. 

Presbyterian and Church of Ireland  McClearys are often found near Belfast and  in Co. Down.  From your given names, I would guess your McClearys were either Presbyterian or Church of Ireland.   Catholic McClearys often lived west of Belfast as a VERY general guide.  I don't know what religion the Carnmoney area McClearys usually were. 

David was said to be born March 19, 1880, but no location was given in the source I saw.

Hello Folks,

A very useful tool for the people researching Irish ancestors. You can check names individually and you can also cross check to find the counties in which families of both surnames were living at the same time.
