Hi Jen
I don't have a James or Thomas in our family tree but that's not to say they aren't related but unfortunately Mulvahill/Mulvahil/Mulvihill is a fairly common name in Ireland in the 1800's   The irish records aren't that great and probably the only way to really find records is by going there.    I am in Australia
   Happy Hunting
Wendy

Take a look at:

www.clarelibrary.ie

and go to the "Genealogy/Family History" section

where you'll find a massive amount of useful information, mostly on Clare families.  All free too.

Happy hunting.
