Hello,
I seek information about my great grandmother, Mary McSharry, born probably in the early 1850's in Cloonclare parish. I'm having trouble identifying her parents from the records available online. She married Michael McGourty in 1873, was widowed, then married Laurence Boylan in 1886. My grandmother was Bridget (Delia) Boylan of Lissinagroagh, and she emigrated to the USA in 1910. Many thanks in advance for your help.

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!
The 1873 civil marriage record for Mary McSharry and Michael McGuerty shows that her father's name was Patrick and that she was 18 when married. I then went to the subscription site Roots Ireland and checked for Mary McSharry baptismal records with father Patrick in Cloonclare RC parish. There was a record in 1854 which is likely the record you need.. See below. Her family lived in Briscloonagh townland. Mary appears to have had a number of siblings: Michael 1845 Catherine 1850 Eleanor 1856 Patrick 1865 I included Michael McGourty's death record below. Let me know if you need additional records.
