Bridget Kane (daughter to unknown parents ) . She was born around 1784 in county Clare , Ireland. She married Michael CLUIN a farmer in clare Ireland . They had. 6 children -John, Hannah, Mary, Thomas, Margaret and Michael. I believe that her husband Michael died and then she immigrated to Montreal Quebec, Canada. along with her 6 children. She died at 85 years old in Montreal Quebec, Canada.
I do not know anything about the Cluin- Kane. family in county Clare ,Ireland. and wish to find out more information about these irish ancestors and their stories if they still survive.

Hi:
I wonder if Michael Cluin was Clune. That was a well-known Clare surname. Unfortunately, the late 1700s is too early for parish registers in County Clare. However, if you have other information about the children's years of birth, that would be very helpful. Let me know and I will see if I can help. You should also check out the Clare Library website at this link: http://www.clarelibrary.ie/eolas/coclare/genealogy/genealog.htm
All the best,
Jane
Thank you for contacting me ... Yes. , I agree that the CLUIN name was originally CLUNE in Ireland - but my. grt grandfather always insisted that CLUIN be spelled this way in Canada .
Thank you for the link I am searching through it now --alot to take in --unfortunately I do not know any parish details --I have a fair amount of information on all the cluin children -since they were all born in Canada . I also have some information on John Cluin brothers and sisters who also immigrated to Montreal Quebec, Canada .
For example, Mary Cluin CLUNE was married to Robert Brady in Ireland -year unknown before 1844 - she had a stillborn baby in June of. 1844 in Canada -This is the first mention of the Cluin family in Canada -
Ps -- just interesting fact - John Cluin brother Michael Clune was married in Montreal in 1859 to a Margaret RYAN (seems like her parents were from Canada and not Ireland )
If you catch onto a thread ---let me know I will surely start pulling ...
I would love to find out the county clare side of. the story --to connect with the canadian side ...like I had said this tree branch is dying and I want to preserve as much of the CLUIN family as possible so they will NOT be forgotten as time goes by.
