Need Help Finding two McNamara brothers' parents in Kilnoe

Hello,

I'm wondering if you might have some ideas for us. My wife Sara's third great grandfather, Denis McNamara, identified Kilnoe as where he was from in the unit's Regimental Register. He was a member of the 99th Regiment of Foot from Ireland and was born in 1784. The Regiment embarked in March of 1805 from Ireland for the Isle of Wight and would later end up in Canada.

We know later that his brother Michael McNamara would join him in Quebec, somewhere around 1818 or so, as Michael's marriage records indicate him as a brother. We believe Michael was born in 1786. Michael's marriage records in Quebec indicate his parents were Thomas Macnamara (born in the 1760s) and Maria (or Mary) Truddy.

Their mother's name "Truddy" has us a bit stumped. And we're wondering if it perhaps is Tuohy, and that the Quebec parish had not transcribed it correctly.

We've been trying to find the Kilnoe "Thomas" and "Mary." Denis named his son Thomas. His daughters are Mary Anne McNamara and Marie Henriette McNamara. Denis has been a bit elusive in tracking down.

Any advice or insight would be appreciated. We're planning a trip to County Clare next summer. We're so hoping to find out where our McNamara's are from and trace the line further back. Sara's father is now 85 and we're hoping we can give him the gift of this knowledge of the family's origin. He's been so very excited about our research. But we've hit a bit of a wall. 

My best,

Daven Rosener
