Looking for information on family of Patrick Cleary and Margaret Gilroy Cleary. They lived in Lisnaskea PLU with 8-9 children. Son James took over farm around 1895 (?) with wife Mary. My great grandmother , Bridget was one of the children but cannot find info on her.
Any help would be appreciated.

See the two records below which contain the 1901 and 1911 census records for the Cleary family in Corravehy townland, Kinawley parish. Looks like Patrick died before 1901 and Margaret died between 1901 and 1911. Any other information on Bridget or the names of other siblings?

Thank you for your quick reply.. I do have baptismal records for children that I received from Cavan Genealogy.The dates below are baptismal dates:
Biddy Cleary b 1/1850
Mary Cleary b 7/1851
Ann Clary b 10/1852
Pat Clary b 6/1854
James Cleary b 02/ Mar 1864
Margaret Cleary 25/Mar1866
Thomas Cleary 2/1858
Edward Cleary 15 Aug 1861
Catherine Cleary 09 Aug 1869
As you can see there is not a child named Bridget so do not know which one could be her. I do have records for Margaret and Edward from US Census that they immigrated to US but cannot locate any records about entry to US. They both died in the US and I have a will of Margarets and also Edward that name her sister Bridget. Bridget was my great grandmother who married a Peter or Patrick Barton. My grandmother, Kathryn Barton, was supposedly born in the US in Troy,New York in 1892. Peter/Patk and Bridget died when she was very young so she went to live with an uncle and aunt who also lived in New York. The uncle was Patrick Cleary who I am supposing is the Patrick above. His wife was Mary E(a)gan. I do not know when they immigrated to the US either. I hope this makes sense as it seems very long and confusing. Any guidance would be much appreciated. Thanks!

That is what I thought also....that would mean she was about 42 years old when she had my grandmother who was born in 1892. Would there be any death records for that time frame 1890 on? My thought is that maybe she died in childbirth and the aunt and uncle raised her. Just trying to follow any avenues.
