Looking for information on Matthew Clarke and family-Bailebourogh

Cavan

Hi--I'm visiting Ireland for the first time this summer and will make a trip to Baileborough, County Cavan where my great-great grandfather Matthew Clarke lived with his 10 children. My great-grandfather was Bernard Clark, second to last in a group of ten children. I know there was once a Clarke Tavern, and a family farm. Any information so that my family visit some of these places. Many of the 10 came to the United States--Some went West and others went to New York (my great grandfather went to NY)

Thank you-Cathy Clark McCully

One other note--the children of Mathew were

Frank-Mary-Mathew-Ellen-Rose Bridgett-John-Anna-Peter-Bernard (born 4 May 1861-1931--married Catherine Murray-June 22, 1872--she was born 1872 and passed 1924) and last James.  Bernard--my great grandfather had two sons--James F Clark (by now E was gone--1891-1963) and Bernard (1898-1990's).  Any information is most appreciated.  Cathy
