Hi.. I am a Canadian in Gracefield, Quebec planning a trip to Ireland. Hopefully someone can direct me to the gravesite of my dead relatives; and homestead of the live ones !
Here's my info: My great great great grandfather John Grace the Elder, Yeoman Born 1800 in Silver Mines, Tipperary North .Died 1870 Interred Borrisokane, Lower Ormond Diocese of Killoloe WIFE : Bridget Fitzgerald Born Tipperary North.
Their son emigrated to Canada : John Grace The Younger Born 1823 . Departed 1841 on Brig Minstrel with future wife Honora Ringrose Born 1825 in Scariff County , Clare East.
Hopefully, someone can assist. I sent email to parish but no response.

Regarding your query about Honora Ringrose the following fro NUI Galway site might be of interest
In 1705 and 1713 John Ringrose of Moynoe, barony of Tulla Upper, county Clare, bought lands in the barony of Tulla from the sale of the estate of Charles Boyle, 3rd Earl of Cork. His sisters married Thomas Croasdaile of Cloghstoken, county Galway and James Moloney of Kiltannon, county Clare. John Ringrose was Sheriff of county Clare in 1722 and married Jane Purdon. Their only son died childless in 1746 and their daughters married Francis Drew and John Bowerman.
