Burke, Flanagan, O'Malley from County Clare (Kilfenora)
Kia ora..... I am a kiwi travelling to UK in a couple of week time.... My connection to Clare is my great grandfather Patrick O'MALLEY (born about 1856) emigrated to NZ 1883 aged 24 with his widowed mother Margaret ne FLANAGAN (born about 1826 although age stated as 40 on the passenger list for the IONIC in 1883) and his two sisters Mary & Bridget (married Patrick FEE in NZ 1884) and a brother Charles.
Margaret (daughter of Mary nee BURKE and John FLANAGAN) married Michael O'MALLEY at Kilfenora on 23 January 1856 so it is assumed this is her native parish.
If anyone has a connection with this family line or can suggest anything I should do in Clare to assist finding 'cousins' I will include Clare in my travels. Thank you
