Clougher family of Killeroran

Joe:

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

The Ballygar/killian/Killeroran RC parish baptismal records are not included on Roots Ireland. Here is a link to the parish register and you can see that records start in 1804 which is very early. However, there is a gap between 1833 and 1844. I would scan the register prior to 1833 to see if you can find Timothy's record or records for siblings. It looks like the records are in Latin and if you need help let me know.

The 1855 Griffiths Valuation head of household listing for Killeroran civil parish shows a Patrick Clogher in Ballygar. Not sure how he may be connected to Timothy and Matthew.

I have no other suggestions, if you have exhausted all US records. Have you tried family search through the Morman Church?

Hi Joe

Clogher is a rare enough surname and found mainly in Co Roscommon - quite a few within a short distance of the Galway border

Why do you think that he may be from Ballygar ? 

Working on the premise that Timothy or Matthew may be family names I found this family in the 1911 Census

Fuerty parish is not too far from Ballygar and there is just one family there in the Griffith's Valuation

Hi Joe, glad to hear from you. I am searching for information on Lawrence and Mary Cunningham from the same parish. They are my great grandparents . If you come across anything in your search that may pertain to them please let me know. Hope the Mormans helped. Michaela

Martin..that is interesting about fuerty. I have now gone through all the ballgame parish records online and not seen the ones I am interested in. If it is fuerty, that would be great. All cloggers as in this area, I can only hope the parish records survive

Fuerty Parish

Joe Apologies Have just seen this 

Let me know how you have gotten on since and if I can help

Martin

PS Will look at this soon again to see 

Martin, yes!  I am still here, thank you!

Hi Joe 

I admin the Ballygar DNA project  https://www.facebook.com/groups/159052454609634/ and I see that at least one of our members has Clogher ancestry as well 

Would welcome you to join as your post there may get noticed by others with similar ancestry
