Searching for information about Patrick Flanagan born abt 1813, married to Sarah Davenport. Theirson, Martin Francis,born 1852, immigrated to New Yorkshortly after marrying Frances Ann (Fanny) Martin. I do not know where in Clare they came from nor have I found any immigration records. Any help is appreciated.

You will note that Patrick Flanagan appears to be centered around the Ennistimon Poor Law Union area. What I would suggest that you do is to visit the Clare Library website at www.clarelibrary.ie/eolas/genealogy/genealog.htm. ; They have a lot of online resources that you will be able to go through. There are donated transcriptions of baptisms, marriages, and deaths and you can look at specific areas to try to narrow down your search.
I will look at the Patrick Flanagan in Tulla for you and see if there is any possible link. I will get back to you in the next week or so.
If you would like to message me, please do at tulla@irelandxo.com.
Kind regards,
Jane.
Jane,
So Sorry for not getting back to you before this.
My wife, Noella passed away 2 years ago and with all that had to be done, has finally been put away.
I am coming to Ireland on the 6th of October 2025, with my eldest Granddaughter Mia, for 3 weeks and intend to spend 14 days in County Clare in and around Ennis.
I have just posted a current search for info, with the help of Kieran Jordan.
Kind Regards,
Phillip Payne, Australia.
Hi Phillip:
Many thanks for your reply. My sincere condolences on the passing of your wife.
If you would like to discuss meeting me further in October when you visit, please email me directly at: tulla@irelandxo.com. We can take it from there and I will have a few resources for you..
All the best,
Jane
