My Great Grandmother Mary Delaney married myGreat Grandfather James Butler in the Church at Clough in 1872, Mary's Father was Martin Delaney.
With Mary being married at Clough it is most probably her parish of birth
I aslo have references to an Emray Egan(a strange christian name) and to the Begins

Peter-
It sure seems likely there is a connection somewhere along the line. My great grandmother's parents were Sarah Delaney and Michael O'Connor. He was from Coolkerry (Coolacurragh) and she was from Whitepark. They settled in Coolkerry but were evicted during the famine and moved to Old Court (which is in Clough). My g-grandmother's name was Sarah O'Connor, by the way. Born in Old Court c. 1845. Her sister (Mary or 'May')--born c. 1853--was married to Con Egan. I don't have any further details about her descendants (but would like to find info!). I also have a 2nd cousin (once removed) named Anna (O'Connor) Bergin who married Paddy Bergin. Anna is the daugher of Matthew O'Connor, son of Matthew O'Connor (brother of my Sarah O'Connor) and Kathleen Coleman.
So we've got several names intertwining.
Perhaps we can sort them all out eventually!
Cheers!

There are a group of us who have Delaney ancestors and have had Family Finder DNA tests it is possible to see where we all share the the same DNA, We all come from the same area of Laois, and are now scatted in the USA, Canda and the UK how we are all related is still a mystery but there's definatly a relationship.
I have some Delany birth and burial information I can share with you, I sent you a message with my email in it yesterday.

I hope the information you provide in your articles that are useful to help others in dealing with the problems of bitterness, and that all feel relief after completing the problem. and for that I also had an interesting info for my friends here from Cipto Junaedy with a good strategy to have knowledge about properties like this he expected us to be independent and the more authoritative because Mr Cipto Junaedy is a master of the property and many know the world Desain Rumah Minimalis and also modifikasi motor

New Information, I found the marriage between Martin Delaney and Margaret Bergin 10-Jan-1834 the witnesses to the wedding were Pat Dooley and Margaret Bergin. Martin lived at Farren where my Grandfather, Great Uncle and Grand Aunt were born. I believe that Martin is my Great Great Grandfather and father to my Great Grandmother Mary Delaney.
Martin died 25-Oct-1894 at Farren
Margaret died 16-Mar-1880 at Farren
Farren is a couple of miles for Clogh
I have 2 other names
Christopher Delaney born 28-Dec-1834 at Farren
Patrick Delaney born 1837 and is living at Farren in 1901 and 1911.
Both of the above were policemen Patrick gives his hometown as Clogh
I know you had some Bergin links
