Meara, OMeara, Mara, OMara family

Seeker:

The civil parish of Moyne is in North Tipperary. I searched the North Tipperary church records on the subscription site Roots Ireland for the years 1827-1837. I located a January 20 1836 baptismal record for a Joanna Meara with father Patrick Meara and mother Mary Salmon sponsors were Rody Mara and Margaret Cahill.  The parish was Lorrha which is at the northern most end of Tipperary and Moyne/Templetuohy parish is a good distance away. There was also a Judith Mara May 3 1835 father Patrick Mara and mother Mary (no last name shown) in Monsea parish which is also a good distance from Moyne.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Hi Seeker . . . 

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out . . to Tipperary County . . and the Town of Roscrea . . .

Roscrea . . the Town . . would . . like you said . . appears to be the homeplace of the Clan Meagher

 (Meara, O'Meara, Mara, O'Mara) . . . 

Roger did some great research for you  (above) . . and given your limited input . . made searching very " iffy " . . 

Mahers ..OMearas  etc . . come together in this district . . and encompass ..3 (three) adjacent Counties ..

i.e. Tipperary - Offaly (aka Kings County ) ..and Laoise ( aka Quenns County )

I took Rogers search a little further . . including . . these two other Counties  . . including a broad time line . .. 

seaching . . between . . . 1827 - to 1837 . . 3 counties . . .BUT . . 

when I include father as " Patrick and Mother .Mary " . . NIL .. shows up . . .

BUT . . leaving out the Parents names . . . my search rings me back to ROSCREA . .
