Clare Past Forum

Another posting describes the broader context of these lists, published Feb 1847 in vol. 54, Parliamentary Papers. Although no one has posted about researching a Kilmacrehy resident, I am getting these online here and adding some postscript-type material, as I have encountered mention of two such people who emigrated to the U.S. Note that another name for Kilmacrehy was Touheran, and a townland there has spellings of Lochlawn or Loughlane, as stated in the Missing Friends ads of John Roche, who re-settled in Ohio. There was a John Roche on his townland, listed in No. 7 of Capt. Gordon's submissions, shown at:

The other Touheran native was Pat Fitzpatrick who died 26 Oct 1866 in Washington, D.C., from a newspaper mention saved in a format not accepted here. Gordon's list No. 7 had a Pat Fitzpatrick at Killaspugtinane in Kilmacrehy.

With Touheran being an esoteric placename, I need to post another U.S. reference to it, although the involved website (the great Manitowoc County genealogy site) has no maiden name for the decedent. See the attachment, which is that site's cemetery transcription: St. James in Cooperstown, where several other early Clare immigrants lived. The link is http://www.2manitowoc.com/
