In my search to find a William Broggy, I have traced a family that have lived in Derrymore for many years. This has taken me back to approx 1812 and the era my William Broggy grew up in.
I have been able to connect some other Broggy families to this particular family and has helped me get an overall picture of some of the families.
It becomes apparent that variations of the surname developed such as Broggie, Brogy, Bruggy, Broughy etc.
I have begun collecting records of folk associated with the surname and put them into decades to get an overall picture of who was where and when. Many families emmigrated to England, Canada, America and Australia.
If you are connected to this surname I would be happy to hear from you and perhaps we can help ach other connect or at least get an overall view of this family in Co. Clare. Some families were associated with Limerick and the southern region of Galway.

Can anyone connect the Daniel and Patrick Broggy of Derrymore, Killeely, in the Griffiths Evaluations to a particular family with authenticity.
1855 Griffiths Valuation of Ireland - Killeely, County Clare
Brennan Andrew Stonepark Killeely Clare
Brennan Mary Derrymore Killeely Clare
Brennan Thomas Meelick Killeely Clare
Broggy Daniel Derrymore Killeely Clare
Broggy Patrick Derrymore Killeely ClareI have a Daniel Broggy who married Bridget Finucane about 1830 who resided in the area and had the following children.
John 1832
Daniel 1834
Mary 1836
Patrick 1838
Matthew 1840
Michael 1845
1840 – Birth of Matthew in Derrymore, Clare, Ireland.
Working back in this era has proved to be a challenge and rather difficult as records are scarce. I found two sources that revealed a Daniel Broggy was the father of Matthew Broggy/Broggie/Broffie who married Ellen Thorn in 1865. The first is the marriage record:
