My grandmother from the area of Newmarket on Fergus, Co Clare. I don't know much about her yet except that she had two sons, my father, Roy Gilligan, and his brother Joey. Left the area in the 1940s or 50s to go to London.
County Clare, or An Clár in Irish, is located in the mid-west region of Ireland. Clare is known for its beautiful scenery and we are home to the famous Burren and Cliffs of Moher. We have a population of approximately 117,196. We look forward to helping you connect with your ancestors’ place of origin.
