Hi everyone,
firstly I would like to thank you in advance for any help you can offer!!! I am new at this and trying to find family for my mother, she has tried for years to find her family but has not had any luck. Her father died when she was child and the only thing she has is his birth certificate. He was Hugh Clancy born on the 4/7/1893, in Manorhamilton/ Leitrim, to James and Bridget Clancy(nee Conlon). If anybody can shed some light it would be wonderfull.
Regards
Jo

Hugh Clancy!!

In the Irish civil registration index on the LDS Beta site, James Clancy & Bridget Conlon’s marriage is listed as registered in Manorhamilton Oct – Dec 1886, Volume 2, page 211.
There’s also a birth for a Hugh Clancy registered in Manorhamilton July – Sept 1893, Volume 2, page 188. You can get a photocopy of either cert from GRO Roscommon for 4 euros, provided you quote the place, year, quarter, volume and page number on the application form. www.groireland.ie/
That should give you the family’s townland, which in turn can be used to trace the line back.

Not sure if this is of any help to you or not.
My great grandmother was Mary Clancy McKiernan. She was married to Bryan McKiernan. They lived in the district of Manorhamilton, Drumkeeran, on the townland of Mullaghbaun. They can be found in Griffith's Valuation. According to a copy of Mary's death records, she died at the age of 63, therefore she was born 1821. (Bryan b. 1814, based on his death record.) My maternal grandfather, James, was next to the last of their children, having been born in 1865.
A few of Bryan and Mary's children married people by the name of Lyons and Gallagher - siblings marrying siblings!
Wondering if your Clancy could be related to my Great Grandmother.

My Great Grandmother, Mary Clancy McKiernan, was born much earlier than the Clancys you speak of. She was born about 1821. She is the only Clancy that I know for sure I have. I'm not familiar with any other Clancys. I know in Griffiths Valuation there is a Martin Clancy, but I can't be sure if this might be her father, or brother. I only took note of it as the name Martin has been handed down in my family.
