My 2 Grandmother, Ellen Howard, was born in Clonaslee around 1834 and I have been unable to verify any information on her via birth/baptismal records. She married James Holahan, who may also have been from Clonaslee and again I have not been able to find any record of their marriage. Would there be any local sources that I could explore that might help me discover the information I seek? Any advise is deeply appreciated, as I have been researching these ancestors for many years.

My ancestors were Roman Catholic. Ellen was born around 1834 in Clonaslee according to her obituary. I have found two Howard and and two Holahan family's in Clonaslee in Griffiths Valuation.

Thank you! That is probably a little early for my Ellen as she was born around 1834.

Wouldn't get too hung up on birth years as from experience they can vary greatly from reality .
