I am looking for any information on my GGgrandmother Catherine Dwyer nee Buckley who may be the Catherine Dwyer listed at Sixmilebridge in 1855 at Ballylidden West. Kilfintinian, .Limerick. RC family.
She would have been the widow of Thomas Dwyer. Death date unknown.
The children of this marriage were Bridget and Michael, born approx. 1828 - 1834.( Both inn Australia by 1855.)
Catherine later married an Edward/Edmund Moloney and had 2 girls, Catherine and Bridget who came to Australia approx. 1950. The mother, Catherine Snr. migrated to Australia as a widow. Date unknown.
Are there any parish records which may confirm any of these details please?
Any hints appreciated.
Roisin.

Hi Roisin,
Thanks very much for your message.
CAtholic records for Sixmilebridge parish start in 1828, so hopefully you may be able to find some records that will confirm Catherine and her children were in the parish:
As you can see from the above link, there are copies available from Clare Heritage centre. Alternatively, you could try writing to the local parish priest for possible assistance. Here is a link to the contact page:

There are some extracts from the records available here:
Unfortunately, there are none of Catherine
You should also try looking at Co. Clare Library?s family history page as they have an excellent, collection. Of particular use sometimes is the donated materials section. Here is the link:
