YoungBrad,
Based on the information you provided, Michael's family had moved away from the area in 1851 and went to England.
Full list of names from the 1851 Census I shared above. I am not sure what happened to William and Honora. Some trees on Ancestry suggest that Bridget was married in Doonbeg, Claire in 1857 where her and James had some children before leaving for Michigan.

If you read the Previous Message posted Roger had found Kearneys living in Clootabonniv in 1901 and 1911.
On Ancestry there is a tree with a John Kearney, son of Michael and Bridget, marrying Ann Carmody in 1860. They had 10 children and were living in Clare. John is in the 1901 census living in Clootabonniv.
