Update on search for Cleary's in Clonmel....
I came across a record of a marriage held at SS Peter and Paul for my great-great grandparents, Richard Cleary and Margaret Lloyd on 15 April 1863, which didn't give details on address, occupation, age or parent names. I'm chasing these up. A baptismal record for a Richard Cleary dated 18 October 1842 gives the parent’s names as John Cleary and Sarah Neville. I'm not certain that they were my Richard’s parents, only that they fit the date given. The other clue to me is that there is a story of the family owning a shop in O’Connell St, Clonmel – I am led to believe at one time, there was a store there owned by a John Cleary which fits the name given for Richard’s father. A long shot, I know.....
