Hello to the Meally's

Laura:

Laura was born before civil registration. Do you happen to know her fathers first name? The Griffiths Valuation head of household listing for Drumcliff civil parish (which includes Ennis) lists three Mealey/Mealy records. http://www.failteromhat.com/griffiths/clare/drumcliff.htm

Roots Ireland www.rootsireland.ie which is a pay site to view transcriptions of church records has Ennis RC records starting in 1841. Did Laura have another first name because I could not locate a Laura Meally/Mealy/Mealey in the Ennis records.

You may want to also look at the Co. Clare library genealogy site.

Hi Laura:

You can also have a look at the website of Ennis Parish.  They have the records online too.  If you google Ennis parish, the site address will show.  The best of luck and please come back to the message board if you have any further questions.

Kind regards,

Jane.
