Just to update, fathers name is James Cleary and his occupation is listed as "Land Steward" in 1845 on the marriage cert for Peter.  Again, just Ireland for place of living, Kilmaney and Kilmore are all I have to go on!

I hope you're right, although given that there are a line of 4 successive Peters from 1821 - 1900, I'm guessing I'll have no such luck!

Thank you!

I got Kilmaley from somewhere (although I can't find it again now), but hit a dead end there, I even went as far as buying "The Burning of Bridget Cleary" to no avail.

The other places come up repeatedly on Baptism searches for Peter Cleary, but so far none have even been in the correct year.

If I'm honest my own records are in a bit of uproar at the moment, I really need to make the spare room into an office!

I think the extra O in "more" is due to the local accent of the census taker.

Thanks for your help Shane.

Hi Shane, the reference is Durham>Crossgate>8b>11.

If you're on Ancestry

http://search.ancestry.co.uk/iexec?htx=view&r=5538&dbid=8767&iid=DURRG9_3732_3737-0901&fn=Peter&ln=Clarey&st=r&ssrc=pt_t40298918_p19475874039_kpidz0q3d19475874039z0q26pgz0q3d32768z0q26pgPLz0q3dpid&pid=12481233

Thanks for the explanation, I'll write that down so I can keep referencing it, I have 2 main branches of my family originating in Ireland, however it's the Cleary's that have caused me the most hassle!

Hi Shane, yes I've got him on all the census returns until his death in 1885, all in the Durham city area. The name returns to Cleary as he either loses his accent or begins to spell it for people being Clarry/Clarey/Clary in various other documents.

To be honest I'm a bit confused by townlands etc, would a townland be akin to a village?

Hi Shane, thanks for the quick reply, I've decided on Meath as Curraha and Donaghmore keeps popping up (is this the parish?) and I had no luck with the Co Clare connection. Clutching at straws / following instinct???

I'm waiting for delivery of the marriage cert, so I may well be able to add more info when it arrives.

Meath / Kilmore parish records - CLEARY
« on: Friday 20 April 12 16:25 BST (UK)  »
Hi, I think I have tracked my 4xG Grandfather back to Kilmore, Co Meath (having originally thought that he may be from co Clare).  I wonder if anyone can help confirm this through the local records.

I am almost certain that the family are RC (they certainly are later on). 

I'm looking for Peter Cleary, born I believe the first week of April 1821 and moving to Co Durham before 1851.  I have no parents names, but on the 1851 census he gives his place of birth as Ireland, elaborating on the 1861 census to Kilmoor, which I think is just his Irish accent, as his surname is also Clarey, which must be an accent issue!

I cannot find an 1841 census for him but I know he married in Durham in 1845 as Peter Clarey on the transcription.

Any help gratefully received.

Claire
