Clarke/Clark families Clouighjordan
« on: Sunday 19 August 18 21:51 BST (UK) »
Anyone done research or any info general or other appreciated on theses families Cloughjordan or thereabouts start of 1800s.
I'm trying to find Tom/Thomas Clarke born 1814, supposedly Cloughjordan to a Clarke father and mother Mary Conroy/Conboy/Conrahy. Tom probably baptised RC, locally, and father was of Protestant persuasion. Father probably died 1816-1818.

Any 'leads' or info gratefully appreciated

OK Thanks.
Were there possibly parish records before 1800s that are not microfilmed/in NLI?

An alternative I'm thinking of is researching
a)Gravestone records/readings for that and neighbouring Parishes to see if I can get a list of possibles for the father and/or
b) Parish and gravestone records for the father's parents deaths  as I undestand he died (fairly) young.
I've seen some material from Ormond Historical Society for the area but a quick scan didnt reveal anything relevant.

Thanks Maggsie for the help.
Yes Thomas married but had left Cloughjordan/Tippeerary and it was in Tullamore mid 1840s - I have his records for his marrriage, death and burial (two different ages for those) and I'm relying on burial age for his year of birth (as 1814). Its his fatherS name and Tom's and place of birth that I cant find and I dont know if his father and mother were (formally) married.
