James Clancy b. around 1830 possible County Clare

Dear Tara:

Thank you for your post to the Ireland Reaching Out message board.

I have taken a look at a transcribed copy of the parish register and I see a baptism entry for a Clancy (unfortunately the first name is not clear) with parents listed as Dennis Clancy and Catherine Carroll.  Again, this is a transcription and the surnames of Carroll and Connell may be due to errors.  The link to the transcription is below:

It is Entry No. 151 and it would appear that the child's name was never written down. 

The family's residence was Ballynavin (Ballynevin) in Killaloe.  Unfortunately, the baptism register only began in 1828, so earlier children will not be listed.

I do see the listing for Dennis Clancy with parents listed as Dennis Clancy and Kitty Connell.  The townland is the same and the parish listing is noted as O'Briensbridge.  (very close to Killaloe).  Here is the link to that transcription:

Here is the listing for Mary:

There may be others. 

I did see that there were other Clancy families living in Ballynevin.

Many of the Clare parish registers have been voluntarily transcribed through the Clare Past Forum.  You can access that link through the Clare Library website where you will find a number of helpful resources to view.  That link is also below:

The Clare Past Forum is located under the Forums tab at the top left corner of the page on the Clare Library site.  You will need to become a member of the Forum in order to view registers.

If you need further assistance, please let me know.

There are also other members onsite who may be able to add to this post.  Hopefullyt they will reply.

All the best,

Jane.

Thank you for looking up the baptism records and the links. I hope to find the missing piece of the puzzle :)

Hello, Honorah is my 3rd great grandma and James is my 3rd great grandpa. Are you looking for information on their son named James Clancy or the James Clancy that is married to Honorah? I live in Cincinnati, my grandmother is also still alive 97 years old, I could ask her what she knows. 

Also Dennis Clancy is James and Honara’s son. Catherine Connell is Dennis’s wife. So James Clancy would be her father in law. Also I believe her last name is Carroll not Connell.

Hi Emily,  I must have missed your first reply :(  Thank you for responding.  I believe James Clancy Sr  parents were Denis Clancy and Catherine Connell.  The only proof I have is all of the DNA connections to the couples other children’s decendants.  I’ve not been able to find any records to confirm this.  I know James burial record lists James and Bridget as his parents, but I believe that was an error.  Every Clancy DNA match leads to Denis and Catherine.          James and Honora did have a son named Denis who married Kate Carrol.  Catherine Clancy, daughter of James and Honora is my line. Which child of theirs is your line?
