I have some information that might be of some use to you. I live in the Clonlara area and I have a contact, that would know some of the history of the Wall family. The Wall family home is in the townland of Oakfield Clonlara. The original owner of the house was a man by the name of Dan Madden. When he died his niece Maryanne Madden inherited the house, she in turn married a man by the name O'Dwyer whose daughter Maryanne married James Wall sometime between 1910-1915. This marriage produced 2 sons Edward and James, Maryanne died around 1980. The Wall family never lived at Clonlara Cross and there is also no evidence in the 1844 tithe aplottments to suggest that they lived there.The family never lived in Doonass, their land there was known as Walls hill.
