Hi!
I think we may have family connections not necessarily blood related.
My heritage is from Cloonboyoge (st. Mary’s Well). About a 15 min drive away from Cloonfinlough.
My great great grandfather John Monaghan was born there along with siblings. In old baptismal records there is a Mary Barry married to a Thomas Monaghan also a Sarah McDermott who was a baptismal witness to a Catherine Monahan in 1839.
would be interested in connecting and learning more.
Regards,
Sean Monahan
