Here is the information that I have and I hope that some one can help me find information about everyone I have included below

Ned and Lillie had eight children they are as follows:
Patrick Redden B. Mar 1924 Ballynakill, Clonfert, Galway, Ireland D. England 30 Oct 1973 and is buried in the Clonfert Cemetery. His funeral mass was held at the Clonfert Church. Records indicate he was married in England but I do not have any details on his family.

His funeral mass was held at the Clonfert Church. Records indicate he was married to Margaret Redden Maiden name unknown, they had no children I am aware of at this present time.
Elizabeth Redden B. December 1929 Ballynakill, Clonfert, Galway, Ireland. All indication is that she is still with us but she would now be 77. Not knowing if she ever married my research has reached a brick wall. I assume that she would have married in her home church at Clonfert.
Nellie Redden B. December 1931 Ballynakill, Clonfert, Galway, Ireland. All indication is that she is still with us but she would now be 75. Again not knowing if she ever married my research has reached a brick wall. I also assume that she would have married in her home church at Clonfert.
Christina Redden B. Mar 1933 Ballynakill, Clonfert, Galway, Ireland. All indication is that she is still with us but she would now be 73. Again not knowing if she ever married my research has reached a brick wall. I also assume that she would have married in her home church at Clonfert.
Eamon Redden B. 12 Jul 1934 Ballynakill, Clonfert, Galway, Ireland D. 15 July 1987 Manchester, Lancashire, England and is buried in the Clonfert Cemetery. His funeral mass was held at the Clonfert Church. Records indicate he was not married.

I am trying to find any or all information I can on all of my relatives listed above. Apparently there no records available from the National Library of Ireland Parish Registers for the Clonfert Church. The NLI records only contain registers up to 1881 and it has been extremely helpful in finding all of my Cummiskey Relatives in Longford. Also since my Cousin Eileen is the niece of Archdeacon John Corkery 1918-1995, Father allowed herto viewthe registers in the parish safe.The rest of the registers are still maintained at the local Church. Several of my family members were in Ireland this November past but decided met with the living decedents and there just was not enough time to back to Galway again. Most of the records I presently have are from Irish Civil Registrations of Birth, Marriage and Death and clippings from the various Galway Newspapers. I did go to see the Mormons and went through their microfilm for what they have on Clonfert but the film was of such poor quality it was just unreadable. Can you help?
