Hello, I'm looking for info on my great grandfather, Dennis (Dionysius) O'Mara (Mara).
I believe he was a tenant farmer in the area of Clonmel/Kilsheelan since my grandfather's (Michael) records indicate that he was born in Kilsheelan area on May 5, 1862.
The only thing I have is a date of marriage of April 24, 1850. His wife is given in family records as Margaret Kennedy however his son's (my grandfather) death certificate indicates Dennis' wife as Margaret Keating.
I'm not really sure where to go next.
I am poking through some of the online church records for St. Mary's and Gambonfield parishes but it's pretty tedious.
Michael O'Mara came to Canada around 1883-5 and died in Chatham Ontario in 1933. As far as we know he was the only child of Dennis O'Mara and Margaret Kennedy/Keating.
Thanks,
Jerry O'Mara Oshawa Ontario, Canada

Wow, thank you so much Miriam! I can't believe you found all this information.
It's going to take me awhile to digest it all but hopefully it will fill in some of the voids in the family tree.
Thanks again
