Hi anyone out there know anything about Condons/Lonergans/Costigans in Clerihan?
I found in the tithes records information on a Richard Condon in Clerihan in 1654 and again another Richard Condon in 1831. My great great grandfather, a John Condon, described as a farmer from Clerihan (possibly connected to the above two Richards) married my great great grandmother, Ellen Lonergan in Cahir in 1844. They had at least three children, Richard, Mary and Patrick. No details of their birth records as they are mising from Clerihan for that time period.
John Condon died early on and Ellen remarried a man called Michael Costigan and had three more children, Michael Costigan 1852, Thomas Costigan 1853 and John Costigan 1855. I found their birth records. Ellen and her second husband died around late 1890s - no death records found but was able to calculate it based on other evidence. They had a small holding in Clerihan (not sure if this was Costigan land or from the first husband, John Condon). The son, Michael Costigan inherited and most likely sold the land around 1900. He was in the US but returned to take out administration on the land. Don't know what happened to THomas and John.
Just curious as to where the small holding was in Clerihan and where the above people might likely be buried. If anyone can shed any light at all, it would be much appreciated.
