Hi, some of my family is visiting Ireland Aug 19-27 and will be in Ennis for 2 nights (24-25) and wanted to see about information on any Meere still in Ennis or surrounding area - I am directly related to John Joseph Mears, B 2 Feb 1824 in Clare Co, Married to Mary Herbert born in Clare - John Joseph Mears father was Michael Meere (name changed to Mears). They had a son John Jr. Mears and he was born in the United States (Ohio) and he was married to Mary McInerny who was born around 1830 in Clare Co Ireland.
John Jr. was married to Mary McCauley (also born in Ohio) - her parents Dominic McCauley (born abt 1830 in Ireland) father and Ellen Daughtery mother (born 28 May 1831 in Clare Co Ireland), They had a son John Vincent Mears in Ohio (who is my grandfather).
Any help is appreciated!
thanks!

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!
I checked the online Irish phone book and there were no Meers/Mears entries in the Ennis area.
I could not tell if any of the marriages you mentioned were in Ennis so I gave you a link to the online RC parish register. I also gave you links to the Co. Clare library and their extensive genealogy web site.
