My 3rd great grandfather, Patrick McAuley married Margaret Cooper. I believe they were from Killadysert, Clare. One of their sons, (my 2nd GG) Charles b. 1829 married Bridget Doherty. I believe they had 8 children and lived in Ballynacally. Their son, my great grandfather, Charles b. 1864 immigrated to America and married my great grandmother, Delia Kane of Dunmore, Galway. I can't seem to find a death record for Bridget(Doherty)McAuley. What cemetary would this family have been burried in? I wonder how well known the McAuley name is in this part of Clare and if there are still any McAuley's still living there. I have found many baptism/marriage records thanks to the Catholic Church records released by the National Library of Ireland recently. Any insight as to where I can find more info on the McAuley's of this are appreciated. Thank you!

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out and apologies for the very long delay in getting back to you.
Death records were not well kept in Ireland but there is an index on a free site www.irishgenealogy.ie that might prove useful to you. Also, the Clare Local Studies Library has the following information about the relevant graveyard:

You could use the 1901/1911 Census to estimate the number of McAuley families in the area at that time :

The online phone book usually includes addresses and you could use that as a good source too:
