My great grandparents, Sinon & Bridget Della Hehir came to America from Coolmeen, County Clare. Sinon was born in 1860 and Della was born in 1869. Sinon's parents were Matthew Kelly & Mary O'Donnell also from Coolmeen. Matthew was born in 1837 & Mary was born in 1835. They also came to America around 1890. Would like to know in what parish Coolmeen is located so that I can continue my research.

There are two Coolmeen townlands in Co. Clare. One is in Killonaghan parish and the other is in Kilfiddane parish.
Based on the Griffiths Valuation data, it looks like the Coolmeen in Kilfiddane parish is where you want to research. See link.
