I have looked on Ancestry and RootsIreland and have not found a birth record for Peter. Civil records did not start until 1864. Creevy is in Kilbarron Parish which is part of the Raphoe Diocese.

Kilbarron Parish

Kilbarron Parish — Reviews 1 School is named Creevy

Raphoe Diocese did not start keeping records until 1876.

I lost my mum last year so i have no way of confirming any details she may know , only of what she had previously told me and some things are not adding up here.

I'm starting to think I have the wrong Bernard Cleary ???

What I know for certain because i now have found Bernards marriage certificate among my mothers stuff and my grandmother's birth certificate

Bernard Cleary married Teresa Dolan 4th May 1909 - witnesses was Joseph Dolan and Margaret Dolan

Parish of Gallen and Reynagh

my grandmother

Teresa Cleary born in Salford 17/04/1918

I have found paper work my cousin did before he passed away and it says Bernard Cleary was born in Tipperary 1877 ?

and that his wife Teresa Dolan was born in Banagher ?

I'm sorry for your loss. Sorry the information is so scattered, but I copied information as I found it.

Gallen and Reynagh, Ardagh - Catholic Parish Registers at the NLI

GENUKI: Reynagh, Offaly (Kings)

One of the trees on Ancestry identifies Bernard and Teresa being married at this Church

GENUKI: St Rynagh, Banagher, Catholic, Offaly (Kings)

St. Rynagh’s, Banagher, Co. Offaly - Upper Main St, Banagher, Co. Offaly, Ireland

St. Rynagh's Church - Bing Maps

I did not find any Cleary/ Nolan gravesites on Historicgraves but found Coolfin on their map. Find Banagher. Coolfin is southeast.
