Carley-O'Loughlin

I’m really uncertain with the geopolitical divisions in Ireland, tho' I do know - Province: Munster, County: Clare... Then the confusion sets in for me!! Baronies, Unions, Parishes, Townlands!!! Ennistimon appears to be both a Union and a Townland!?

My 2GGrandfather, Peter Carley only has 'Innes Diamond' on his death certificate, which I believe to be ENNISTIMON, Co Clare, but has KILMANAHEEN (Co Clare) in the Kew Asylum books, as his birthplace.(Only Co Clare is listed on his daughter, Roseann’s birth certificate.)

Peter Carley’s wife Margaret McMahon has a sister, Elizabeth who married a Patrick O’Halloran in the KILFENORA parish Church in Feb 1845, however, Peter and Margaret were married in Melbourne, 14/9/1852.

Peter Carley’s father is also Peter, and his mother is listed as Ann O’Loughlin(on his death cert.), and we know he has a brother John and Austin (from their Probate & Wills), and perhaps a sister Margaret… However, Austin’s mother is listed as ELLEN McLochlan on his death Index!

I’ve trawled many Clare sites but can’t find Carley anywhere, and as you would know, I’m getting WAY too many McMahons to make any sense of!

Would LOVE to get confirmation and evidence of Peter Carley's Birth & or Baptism about 1826!
