looking for proof of gg grandfathers death
« on: Thursday 09 March 23 12:21 GMT (UK) »
Hi, I've had no luck with looking for gg grandfather Patrick Mcnamara's death certificate or any proof of his marriage. I have found proof of their 7 children. 
He married Margaret Higgins (cant find anything about her either).
The children are Eliza 16th April 1859  (My g grandmother who came to Australia)
 Anne 15th October 1861
 Margaret  28th May 1864
 Another Anne  26th August 1867
 John 10th March1869
 Patrick 14th August 1872
 Bridget 6th February 1875.
They were all born in Clare  though some are Quin. Tulla. Galway. Limerick. Just noting what is on the records.
My G grandmother Eliza came to Australia on the Earl Dalhouse in 1881. John and Bridget supposedly went to America.
Eliza said she used to visit her fathers grave before she came to Australia so presumely he died sometime after the last child Bridget was born and before she came to Australia in 1881
Was wondering how the mother coped with a large family and the youngest Bridget only 6 when Eliza left and went to Australia.
Hope someone can help.
I know Patrick McNamara is a very common name in Clare county so finding the right one has been a challenge but there must be a grave somewhere. I am financial with Ancestry at the moment and have been on and off for years. But have hit a brick wall.
Thanks so much
Aleon Tessa
