Clare / Re: Two Miltowns in Clare??????
« on: Tuesday 09 December 08 01:41 GMT (UK)  »
Thank you for the information and the web-page from County Clare Library.  The article was most informative.   I especially was struck by the similarities that family was having pinning down the two Milltowns.    Their relative also spoke of only a Milltown, Co. Clare.  It makes sense their deduction that the Milltown in question is Milltown-Malbay and I suspect my Kelly family would more likely be from that Milltown too.  I did find Patrick and Michael Kellys in Kilfarboy parish (I know, very common names).  Also, in the article, it mentions that their relative went to the Springfield area of Hampden County in MA.  This is the same area where my Kelly family first lived in the United States.  Just off hand, I wonder, if there was any particular reason families from Clare, in particular, Milltown would have went to Hampden in MA?   Also, I wonder if there is any way to know if it was more common to call Milltown-Malbay just Milltown in the 1840s.   

Anyway, thank you for the pointers and listening to my speculations.

thanks for the guidance.  I checked the site and put Milltown as advised.  It listed a Milltown in Tulla, but the site doesn`t forward any further information.  How might I check out this Tulla location?  I checked with google, but not much there.

Clare / Two Miltowns in Clare??????

Can anyone tell me if there are two Milltowns in County Clare?  I know Milltown Malbay is certain, but I have come across references to Miltown, Tulla.  Is this the same place or were there two such place names in Clare from the 1840s?   Any information in this regard is most helpful for focusing my research!  Thanks!

Clare / Kelly family in Miltown Malbay
« on: Monday 22 September 08 04:01 BST (UK)  »
Hello All,

I am looking for any information or history on Kelly families that live in the Miltown area of County Clare.  My great great grandfather was Terance (Terrance, Terence) Kelly and his wife is Ellen Kelly.  They left Ireland in the 1840s and first lived in Mass. before moving on to Wisconsin.  Ellen`s father, Patrick, lived with them in Mauston, Wisconsin at the time of his death.  Their graves state they came from Miltown in Co. Clare, Ireland.   At the moment, I am interested in any Kelly information from the present back to 1800.

Hello,

I hope you are still active on this site?  I am researching Kellys from Miltown in the 1840s and earlier.  Perhaps we will both will have some information to share.
