Durham / Re: cannot find two sisters Mary Sarah and Margaret Eleanor McMahon
« on: Tuesday 24 July 12 21:16 BST (UK) »
Hi, I have just joined rootschat.com because I saw your post,
John Ernest McMahon was related to my husbands mother, we think he was a first cousin but have not fully established the connection. It seems that when his parents died he and his sister Mary (called Minnie on the 1911 census) were brought back to Ireland to be raised by their uncle John. They were, as you said raised in Cappa Tulla Co. Clare. The official townland is Ardboula or Affick, Tulla. They attended primary school at Knockjames National School, there is an article on the Genealogy section on Clarelibrary.ie

Hopefully these links will be of help to you
