Could Catherine Waters's husband have changed his occupation slightly from butcher to pig buyer and had a second marriage?

There are numerous references to Sinon Culligan, pig buyer, of Burton Street, who appears to have been fathering children in his 70s and 80s, e.g.:

I've just realised that the so-called British Newspaper Archive now has 793 digitised issues of the weekly Clare Champion newspaper (Earliest issue: April 4, 1903; Latest issue: December 28, 1918) and that the Irish Newspaper Archives claim in different places to have the Clare Champion either for ...

There are six baptisms in Angel*park in the 1846-81 Clondagad baptismal register as transcribed at clarelibrary.ie.
The parents are:
Michael Fitzgerald/Eleanor Keane x1
Michael Hill/Bridget McMahon x1
Michael Hill/Mary Shea x1
Pat Meany/Mary Cal*inan x3

The Meanys had two older children when their ...

It's taken almost ten years, but I think that I may have identified the birth record of the Elizabeth O'Connor who married Patrick Joseph Cullinan on 28 Apr 1909.

I found a few more clues, mainly at ancestry.com:

The application for our Thomas's headstone, made on 11 May 1942, almost 21 years after his death, by John Madigan, of 1062 Fillmore St., Denver, Colorado:

Some user-donated family trees at ancestry.com have confused the Thomas Madigan who died in Denver in 1921 with the son of John Madigan and Mary McDonnell who died in 1930 in the townland of Einagh in Killard parish, but adjoining Kilrush parish:

Great research, all.

I don't know what happened Denis Keane's widow, Bridget Madigan, except that she appears to have been alive when he died in 1887, described as married, rather than widowed.

However, she does not appear to be the Bridget Keane in these census returns:

Jimbo, Griffith's Valuation for the Barony of Pubblebrien, including the parish of Mungret, is dated 9 Nov 1850. I was able to establish this using the trick outlined by John Grenham at

Sharon, thank you so much ...

There appear to be a couple of typos on the Sixmilebridge page at
https://www.clarelibrary.ie/eolas/coclare/genealogy/don_tran/bmd/sixmilebridge_parish_baptism_records.htm

The links to the middle sections of the spreadsheets say "1840-1854" in two places but should say "1840-1864".

The names of ...

You do not appear to have mentioned Fr. Ignatius Murphy's monumental three-volume History of the Diocese of Killaloe, which I think provides the best background for any study of a 19th century priest of the diocese.

Other Clare priests that come to mind for their public campaigning and ...

Hi Sheila

It was not you but the National Library who mislabelled the 1878-80 Kilballyowen microfilm!

I have a link from

to Murray's 2013 version of the Carrigaholt baptisms at

Sheila

You have really gone beyond the call of duty in repeating Murray Ginnane's efforts and giving us another version of the Carrigaholt registers. Many thanks.

One small point - the microfilm containing baptisms from 19 Feb 1878 to 29 Mar 1881 and marriages from 5 Mar 1878 to 30 Apr 1881 at ...
