Wexford / Re: Whitechurch, New Ross / Cleary & Doyle

Hi bmk923
I am related to you. My grandfather is Walter Cleary and my grandmother Mary Doyle. They had 7 children: Patrick Cleary He died in his 40's. Margaret (Peggie)Cleary she is still alive and lives in Ballykelly just outside New Ross. James (also died in his 40's) and Joseph ( also died in his 40's) They all resided in New Ross. Then there was Elizabeth Cleary she married Barry Goodland and moved to England. She is still alive. Then my mother Mary who married Michael Lanigan in 1955 and moved first to England and then to Australia wher my brother Michael and myself still live. Sadly my mum passed away in 2012. She always used to talk about "aunt Ciss" which I think is a diminutive of Cecilia. She used to help out my grandmother and my mum loved her dearly. Then the last child was Simon or "Sim". He lived into his late 40's early 50's.  Aunt Lena was my grandfather's sister. She was nvolved in the Republican movement and I beleive she spent some time in Kilmainham jail Dublin. Uncle Willie movedo Fremantle in Australia which is why you cant find him.  Hope that helps. Please chat back we must be third cousins or something. Regards Mary

I've been on the search for my Cleary family from Whitechurch, New Ross, Co. Wexford.  I recently got into contact with some distant relatives who we all share the same great great great grandparents, Patrick Cleary (died 1907) in Whitechurch and Elizabeth Mary Cleary (nee Doyle) died (1941).  I have her obituary where it lists that she came from a very popular well known family.  My great grandfather, Pierce Francis Cleary (1892-1963) and his sister Marcella Hanlon (Cleary) seem to be the only siblings that came to the Chicago.  Pierce moved back to Ireland once his wife, Helena passed away (1960).  He also remarried a Margaret before he moved to Ireland.  Everyone else (Simon, Willie, Phillip, Helena (Lena) stayed in Wexford.   I found a 1933 wedding picture of Willie and his wife Bridget online, but nothing else.

I know Helena Cleary married Myles Roban of Enniscorthy.   I would love to find more information on Patrick and Elizabeth Cleary!
