John or Joannis Hughes & Honora Jordan - Marriage in Closhator/Claushator which seems to be an older name that few are now familiar with but it is near the Clonbrok Estate.   

His Death Records from the Registry of Deaths was from the Union of Mount Bellew and District of Clonbrock and shows his death was in Cloonascarbarry.  He was a Herder and no medical attendant at death but Son Matt was present.  It matches the gravestone I found with known relatives in the Killeroran Cemetery near Ballygar Co. Galway.  

His son is also from Claushator/Closhator

    <p>When it came to profit, grazing cattle was more lucrative than having tenants. Having lived in Ballinlass for generations, reliably paying rent, was of no consequence; Marcella Netterville Gerrard, was hell-bent on clearing her land. On this fateful morning, 67 ‘comfortable, clean, and neatly kept habitations, with snug kitchen gardens either before or behind them’ were demolished and all 447 inhabitants of Ballinlass 'scattered over the neighbourhood, residing in the ditches or anywhere they can find shelter’...</p>
