Learnihan/lernihan

Kilmihil (Clare)

Hello, I'm trying to find the name of my great great grandfather who I believe was from Kilmihil. His son's name is John Learnihan b around 1850 and married Bridget Downes. I do believe there may be 2 Bridget Downes. Their children were John Kevin (my grandfather b 1894 in Kilmihil), Mary, Thomas, Michael, Ellen, Delia, Margaret & Kathern. I've been trying to research on ancestry.com but no trees go back this far. Any help would be so helpful. Sincerely, Erin Maher McCormick
