Hi,
Thank you very much for your message. I have also responded to your message about Richard Clancy on the Tallow parish page. There I gave you some links to newspaper archives and county libraries that would also be relevant here. Here is a link back to that message:

It may also be an idea to contact the Limerick City Archives to see if they have any information on the trial:

In order to find more information on Cornelius, you could try looking in church records. Most Catholic records are held locally so you may need to write to the local parish priest for possible assistance. One website that you may find useful is the Irish Times where they give an overview of what records are available in specific parishes. For Fedamore parish, follow this link:
Most surviving Church of Ireland records are still held by the local clergy, although some are in the National Archives of Ireland and others are in the Representative Church Body Library in Dublin. Here are their websites: http://www.nationalarchives.ie/ and http://ireland.anglican.org/about/42
Lists of these surviving registers can also be found at the National Library of Ireland.
www.familysearch.org have some records available online.

I hope this is helpful. Please be patient - as our programme has only begun to rollout across the island of Ireland and volunteers in some areas may not yet be organized.
