I found little of help to you  . . but hope the above will be of some benifit to you . . . 

You might browse through the ' Catholic Parishes of Ieland ' to be found at

You may want to consider autosomal DNA testing.

Hi:

there is a local historian in Ogonnelloe who may be able to help you.  Will you message me at:  tulla@irelandxo.com and I will arrange contact via email.   Kind regards,  Jane 

Thank you Jane; I've sent an email to you today.  Wonder if historian might be Michael O'Gorman, with whom I am in contact, but would be great if also another person.  Best, Patrick

Eamonn, thank you for the many references, which I will explore in more detail.

I have done DNA tests at both 23andme, and Ancestry.com. So far, they have resulted in one definite connection, and about 100 or more possibilities.

Further to my description above, I am now reasonably confident that Patrick's parents likely lived in Bealkelly (Purdon) on land described in Griffith's Valuation of 1855 as occupied by Denis McNamara.  I suspect that Denis was the brother of Daniel, Patrick's father, and son of John and Susan O'Donnell. See:

Map: http://www.clarelibrary.ie/eolas/coclare/maps/mapbrowser/mapbrowser.html#M248|LX71954Y22680|S0.3640733|I11sl|WfCccX4Y4W265H431VtI11OsD10%2B211%2B231%2B161|WxCaaX39Y47W280H352VtI11E952DslT0|Fx

The connection to Bealkelly is from record of baptism of Patrick:

Microfilm 02476 / 01 | Page 29

Ogonnelloe; County of Clare; Diocese of Killaloe. Baptisms, Aug. 1839 to Dec. 1839

http://registers.nli.ie/pages/vtls000634768_029

Third from the bottom on the right side is listed for 14 Dec 1839, Pat with father Dan McNamara and mother Mary Culligan of Belkelly, with witnesses Pat Culligan and Bridt. Culligan, also of Belkelly.  Patrick’s birthdate is listed on his tombstone as 12 Dec 1839.

I plan to visit there in fall of 2017.

I just returned from a month in Ireland, during which time I went to Ogonnelloe, and came as close as I could to the land where Denis McNamara once lived.  Found the Bealkelly House on L81922, built about 1780, nice large house, but haven't been able to find any more details about it.  It doesn't appear in Weir's book on historic houses.

Can anyone give some information on that house?

I went to the National Archives of Ireland in person, spoke with the genealogist for two hours, but didn't find the information I sought on the history of the property shown in Griffith's Valuation occupied by Denis McNamara

Hi Patrick:  

I'm not sure if you got in touch with Michael McNamara.  If not, I will send you his email address. I believe that he will be able to assist you.  

All the best,  

Jane 

Yes, Jane, I did speak by phone with Michael McNamara while I was in Ireland last month, and did exchange a couple of emails with him, which were helpful.  Also saw Michael O'Gorman briefly.

Thanks and best regards,

Patrick
