Hickeys of Ballygirreen.

I am hoping that someone may have knowledge on the Hickey family from Ballygirreen, who I think moved to Fedamore,Co Limerick around the 1850's or 1860's. Daniel and Mary were my great great great grandparents and I know for sure of the following children, Mary, who was my great great grandmother and Margaret and Arthur.

From extensive searching of church records in Co Clare, I have concluded that they came from Ballygireen. Daniel married Mary Corbett in 1837 and they had seven children that I could find, Rodger? 1838, Peter? 1840, Catherine 1842, Mary1844, Martin 1845, Margaret 1848 or 1849 and Daniel 1856.. I couldn't find an Arthur, but an Arthur stood for Mary.

I remember reading somewhere that the river Fergus had drainage works carried out in the mid 1800's and I wonder did people leave the area at that time. The Hickeys worked in various capacities at the big house in Fedamore.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
