Cloonan family from Clifden

GalwayClifden (Galway)

Hello! I'm trying to find information on a Cloonan family that lived in Clifden in the late 1880s. My great-great grandmother Della May Marcella Cloonan was born in Clifden on August 19, 1888. I can't seem to find anything conclusive about her parents, other than an idea their names *might* be Patrick Joseph Cloonan and Molly Molloy. Can anyone recommend somewhere I can look? Thank you!

Hello,

you can look on irishgenealogy.ie for free. Here is the birth of a Delia Cloonan in 1888 - mother is Bridget Molloy so might be the right one - https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/birth_retur…

Here is the same family in the 1901 census - http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Galway/Clifden/Hulk_St…

The parents in 1911 - http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Galway/Clifden/Market_…
