McMahons and Reardons of Kilmihil Parish

Full names? year of birth? parents' names? anything you know would be helpful.

J.E,

Attached a record of a Thomas Reardon in the townland of Lacken - Kilmihil parish in 1826.

Source;  www.nationalarchives.ie/genealogy

While "Reardon" is not a common name in County Clare, the surname "McMahon" is quite common.

Thomas Reardon had a very small plot of land, so it would indicate that he connected with some family in the area. Other "Reardon's" in County Clare -1825 - are in the area of Broadford - County Clare.

Regards,

Thanks for your replies!  Since you are interested, here is the info I have:  My McMahon family that came to America included mother Honora (abt. 1790 - abt. 1870) and her grown children Simon (abt. 1812-1883), Patrick (abt. 1821-1875), Margaret (abt. 1824-1875), Thomas (abt. 1827-1902), and John (abt. 1830-1873). The early deaths were from tuberculosis.  Margaret McMahon married James Purcell, who I have deduced came from the neighboring parish of Clondagad.  No marriage record has been found, so I don't know if they married in Ireland or America. Their oldest child that I know of (my great-grandfather) was born in America in 1854. Some of the brothers' death records state that their parents' names were Michael McMahon and Honora Reardon.  Thomas' gravestone inscription states that he was a native of Kilmihil.

I know that the name McMahon is very common in Clare, while Reardon is very rare.  I also found a John Reardon in the Tithe Applotment Books (attached here), immediately above a Michael McMahon in Ballyduneen Townland, Kilmihil Parish.  So chances are those are my relatives.
