John CLUIN was the son of Michael CLUIN ( Clune )and Bridget KANE. He immigrated to Montreal, Quebec, Canada in the early 1840's with his mother and siblings . Michael Cluin his father was a farmer in County Clare, Ireland and appears to have died in Ireland. The first mention of the Cluins in Canada was June 1844 when his sister Mary ( married to robert Brady in Ireland) had a still born baby. All the others died in Quebec, Canada where they lay their new roots. Why did they leave Clare, Ireland?
John was married to Margaret GREALY ( also from county Clare, Ireland) daughter to Luke. GREALEY and Margaret McGrath . They married on May 1, 1849 in Montreal Quebec, Canada and would have 9 children. I am unsure if they knew each other in Clare, Ireland .
John worked as a pipe-layer for the Montreal waterworks company during the 1850's thru to 1890's . He died at 87 years old.
I would like to know who were the Cluin family ancestors living in Clare, Ireland? They are a dying line on my family tree. There are no Cluins left in Canada now yet there is Cluin Blood running through my veins. So I would like to go back in time and discover life and other members of the cluin family in Ireland .

Hi again:
I replied to your Chronicle about Bridget Kane. The surname Brady was more common in East Clare. Do you have any furhter informatio about Robert Brady and Mary Clune Brady such as a date of marriage or other children? Did they remain in Ireland or did they emigrate to Canada? Let me know and I will try to help.
I have Clunes in my own family so I'm interested in knowing more about your Clune/Cluin ancestors.
All the best,
Jane
Yes , From what I know All my Clunes just packed up and immigrated to Canada from Clare Ireland .So I know alot of information about the canadian CLUIN family --and almost nothing about the life that they left behind. Which is what I am looking for ...
Now. Mary Clune Brady was born around 1825 in county Clare- and she married robert Brady ( sometimes he signed his name as BREADY) He worked as a shoemaker .I believe they were married in Ireland and I don't think that they had other children before coming to Canada . I believe that they were married around 1843 -she would of been around 18 years old . she died young only 32 years old. cause unknown . her first born in Canada was stillborn boy in June 1844. she would have a total of 5 children before her death in 1857. all died at a young age all born in Canada .
robert Brady would re-marry to a catherine McKeegan and have 3 more children. All his children would die before his death in 1873 -from both marriages .so sad.
if you need more info let me know...
ps. just wondering where are you living and who were your Clune connections . I live in Montreal - and I know of another set of Clunes in Montreal --but could never connect them to my. branch of ClUINS
thank you so much for trying to help me --i really appreciate it -- if there is something that i can do from Canada side - i will be happy to try.
happy journey
