Clarke Famil

Dear Linda,

I would love to be able to help you, alas Clarkes are 10 a penny in this county.  Who have you found & what evidence do you have?

Have you found them on the 1901 & 1911 Census, if not look at nationalarchives.ie

you can find registerations on familysearch.org, these are all free sites.

Let me know how far you have got & hopefullyI can give you some more directions, I live about 20+ miles from Tullyvin & I can visit graves if you need me to & if you get to visit us here I can show you around. Best Wishes & Happy St Patrick's Day Carmel

Hi Carmel 

Thanks for answering so quickly. 

The family I am interested in are on the 1911 census 

Clarke - Drumnatread, Tullyvin West  ( 2 families house nos 19 and 20 ) 

I am looking for a daughter or garnddaughter of these families.  Her name was Teresa, however I think that may have been her middle name or the name she was called as I have had trouble pinpointing her.  I also think the names Bridget Agnes would be connected as these are family names, 

She would have been born around 1921. 1922 or 1923.  I do not have her date of birth. 

I would like to find out what Parish her baptism would have been recorded in. Would it be Drung? 

I think I need to start by finding the other children of these familes ( from the census) and see if they had children with any of these names that fit that age.  

I also believe that she died in Newry in about 2003.  

So maybe even an elderly parishoner would have knowm her as we are not talking about that long ago.  

I dont know if you can help with any of this.   I do intend to come to that area and do this search myself but at the moment I am unable to, but maybe in a few months time I will get time off work

I live in England but my father does live in Galway, but as he is now 82 I cant get him to go on my behalf.

let me know if you can do anything or if you know anyone that might know the families from this area

BIG thank you.  I can send the census forms if you need to look at them, 

Linda
