I am looking for information about my ancestors from Clonmanoise. My Great Great Great Grandfather, James Smith was born in Ireland in 1812 and married Mary Temple on February 15, 1830 in Clonmacnoise. The marriage was witnessed by John Temple and Patrick Conran. James and Mary had two, possibly three children, Keiran (my Great Great Grandfather), James and maybe John. Keiran was born in 1831 and emigrated to the US in 1852. Any info would be appreciated.

Hi Patrick
Welcome to the site!
I couldn't find a birth/baptism record for James or Mary on www.rootsireland.ie/
The marriage is there but as you probably know it has very little information!
The 1821 Irish Censuses (free at http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/) has a family of Conrans in Birr but no James
No luck with Temple in the censuses
Here's a record for a in Clonmanoise from Griffiths Valuation (free at http://www.askaboutireland.ie/) in 1854
