Hoping to find John Blake born 1814 and his wife Catherine McKune born 1788. Believe they were from Doonbeg. Married about 1830. Two children born John and Patrick 1830 and 1833. Left Ireland to Canada by 1836. Catholic. Any help locating any information on them would be greatly appreciated.

Hello again Sue!
The RC records for that parish do not start until 1855 http://registers.nli.ie/parishes/0779 so we won't be able to find church records.
I did check the Tihe listings for that parish from 1825 and there were two John Blake records maybe the same person in Killard townland. http://titheapplotmentbooks.nationalarchives.ie/search/tab/results.jsp?…
Since your John was born in 1814, these records could be for his father or an uncle possibly.
The Co. Clare library has very good genealogy resources http://www.clarelibrary.ie/eolas/coclare/genealogy/genealog.htm
