Hi Cowgirl:

Thanks for your post.  I might change your most recent post to County Clare for clarity purposes.  I can assist you with that as I am a volunteer with the Tulla Reaching Out committee here in Clare and Sraheen is in the parish of Clooney which is a neighbouring parish to Tulla.  The townland of Clounagowan is very close to the parish of Crusheen (Inchicronan) but I see from the civil records that their marriage took place in Clooney.  I have attached the record below for you (which you might already have).  

I also see that the baptism records for some of the children are on the Clooney parish register, so this would have been their home parish, even though they lived closer to Inchicronan.  

If you go into the Clare Library website, you can go into the Clooney parish records through this link which will give you other resources:

You will also note that the parish registers have been voluntarily transcribed and are available to download.  There are other children born to this couple which you will see.

In addition as Mary McInerney married in Clooney church, her family was most likely from there and her father, James was noted as a farmer.  The Clooney/Quin parish registers go back to 1816 for baptisms, so you should be able to go back a further generation (at least)..

If you are visiting Clare, please let me know and I'm happy to meet you as I'm close to Clooney parish.  You can email me directly at:  jhalloranryan@irelandxo.com

I would highly recommend a trip to the Local Studies Centre in Ennis where the two librarians and historians, Peter and Brian will be able to assist you.  

Kind regards,

 

Jane
