Hi there, I was wondering if anyone has any information on the REIDYs from Dromelihy (Westby)? My ancestors came from here and I have been able to trace the male line back to the early 1800s. Just wondering if anyone has any historical information on the Reidys or about Dromelihy (Westby) in general?
Thanks,
John Reidy
John,
I attach copies of the 1911 Irish census for Michael Reidy - age 74 - Drumellihy (Westby) Postal Address - Creagh and Form B1 which gives details of dwellings.
You should contact Clare County Library - clarelibrary.ie - for further information at genealogy.
Land ownership you will find at www.askaboutireland.ie ; - Free site and Tithe Records at www.nationalarchives.ie/genealogy - 1820's to 1860's
