Hi,
Thanks for your message.
Most Catholic records are held locally. However, one website which may help you is the irishtimes. Here they give an overview of what records are available for specific parishes. For Killiagh/Lisdoonvarna parish follow this link:
If you have any difficulty, you could try writing to the parish priest for assistance.
For Church of Ireland records, visit http://ireland.anglican.org/about/42 and http://www.nationalarchives.ie/
Perhaps you could also try contacting the Clare Heritage Centre, however a fee may apply. Here are their contact details:
Clare Heritage Centre,
Corofin,
Co. Clare.
Phone: (065) 683 7955) email: clareheritage@eircom.net
I hope that this information helps.
Kind regards,
