Hi

I was interested to see that Matilda's mother may have been an Anne Clarke. My Clarke family are from Skreen, Sligo and a niece of my gt grandmother Margaret Clarke, had a funeral card for an Olivia Clarke Irwin originally of Tobercurry who may be a relative so I looked her up.

Olivia was born in "Tubbercurry" on 8 Sep 1832 and died in Chicago on 21 Apr 1902. Olivia, daughter of James Clarke,  married John Irwin on 7 Nov 1854. Their family were born in Riverstown including daughter Olivia Jane Irwin born 1 Mar 1866. Olivia Irwin married Charles John McKimm in Chicago in 1892. Charles John McKimm,  was apparently (I have not checked this out) born 1857 in Tiraree, son of Phillip W McKimm and Grace Smith.

I do have DNA matches with several people with MacKimms of Sligo in their tree, including this family, but as I appear to related to every other CofI family in Sligo, I could not say if I have an Ancestor named McKimm. I do have an Sligo Irwin ancestor, b c1800 of unknown location prior to her Skreen location, plus Wallaces from Easky and Livingstons from Killoran.

I do think Olivia Clarke had a brother Thomas Clarke of Tobercurry in 1901, (65, merchant) whose daughter Olivia was 23 in 1901. Thomas, son of James Clarke a farmer, married in co Mayo in 1867 to Catherine Cuffe.

Cheers

Linda

Matilda McKim was my greatgrandfather's sister. I have some information on my family trees. Can be of help - but literally just joined this forum so still figuring out how to use it properly!
