Visited town of Clonmore in 1996. Considering coming again in near future.

Hi Patricia, thanks for your message and interest in Ireland Reaching Out.

Have you tried tracing the Farrell side of your family tree? Perhaps doing this may help you find some descendants that are living today.

Some good sources of information include the National Library and the National Archives. Their websites are  http://www.nli.ie/en/family-history-introduction.aspx and http://www.nationalarchives.ie/genealogy1/genealogy-records/introduction/ respectively.

You may be able to find some more informtion about Mary's family in the Tithe Applotment Books. These are land records that were compliled between 1823 and 1838 in Ireland. You can access these here:

Have you checked Church Records for the Farrell family? Here is a link to the Irishtimes website that shows you what Roman Catholic Records are available for the parish of Clonmore.

Church of Ireland Records may be found at http://ireland.anglican.org/about/42 and http://www.nationalarchives.ie/

It may also be in your interest to check the Census records from 1901 and 1911 to see if there are any Farrells mentioned. You can do this here: http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/search/

I hope this helps you. If you do decide to visit Ireland again would you like to give us your trip details so that we can endeavour to source  a volounteer to advise and assist you during your visit? You can do this at info@irelandxo.com

Kind regards
