Hi
Trying to find any information about Grandparents.
Neill Clifford born approx. 1877. He's on 1901 & 1911 census for Ballybay and died in Sligo 27/9/1944. He ran a public house in Main Street Ballybay with his Brother James, then went on to be a horse dealer.
I believe Neil and James had other siblings, maybe called Hugh Clifford, Minnie Clifford and Mrs Maytheu (Dublin) and one of their children was Rev. J Behan ?
Neill married Mary Emily Veronica Dillon Known as Vera on 24th Feb 1916. I believe they had chidren called SONS: 'James Patrick Dillon Clifford', 'Brendan', 'Aiden' 'Aloysious' and 'Hugh' DAUGHTERS Mrs Edward Kelly ?? and Mrs F Collett (Dympna) also names links as possible children are Cornilius Brendan, Maura Patricia, Daniel Thaddeus,Thomas A, Hugh OB, and Sheila died 2006?? Their grave is in St Patricks graveyard. Vera died in 1952.
Does anyone recognise any of these names? Would be lovely to find out if we have any descendants still in the area.
Thank you for reading xx

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!
I located the parents marriage record (James Clifford and Mary Deighan) in 1862 on the subscription site Roots Ireland (see below). They had a son Patrick baptized April 27, 1863.
Civil registration for birth and RC marriages started in 1864. I located six civil birth records (below) on the free site www.irishgenealogy.ie Neil was born in 1872. I lcoated a Mary Ann who is likely your Minnie. There is a Susanna maybe she is your Mrs. Maytheu. Maybe there were others. The family lived in Corvally townland in Tullycorbet civil parish
Let me know if you have questions.
