Good Afternoon
Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out and apologies for the delay in replying to your message.
Unfortunately, it may be difficult to find information without a more specific place of origin. Most Irish record sources- church records, land records, census records- are based on specific locations. Until you know a specific location within Ireland, preferably a parish or placename, it may be difficult to do anything more with these records.
You do, however, mention Clonmel, located in St. Mary?s, a Civil Parish of Tipperary

The records for the corresponding Parish of St. Peter and Paul?s in Clonmel begin in 1836. As an aside, there is another Clonmel, located in Co. Offaly and part of the Roman Catholic Parsh of St. Mary's Clonmel, is acutally located in Co. Waterford.
There are some places where you can search online, however these websites do not have complete collections and many do not cover the period after 1900:
www.familysearch.org has a huge database of genealogical records including some church records for Ireland.
www.rootsireland.ie have a large collection of Irish Church records, however you have to pay to use this site.
http://churchrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/ have begun a project to upload Irish church records to their site free of charge. However so far only Counties Dublin, Kerry, Carlow and parts of Cork have been covered.
Some other websites that may be helpful are:
