Clancy / Goff / Henrehan / Leonard Genealogy search

LeitrimRossinver (Leitrim)

Hi! I am doing my family genealogy research and would be very grateful for any information anyone could help me with! Thank you!!

James & Bridget (Leonard) Clancy (both born in 1820 in Ireland) were from Largydonnell, Rossinver and owned some land there. James Clancy's sister was Margaret and their mother was Mary. Bridget's father was John Leonard.

Thomas Henrehan (born in 1859 in NJ) had a mother named Mary (Goff) Henrehan. Mary was born in 1832 in Ireland and her mother's first name was Bridget. Bridget was born in 1801 in Ireland.

I also have a Michael Maloney from County Cork born in Nov. 1860 in Ireland.

I looked on Roots Ireland www.rootsireland.ie but could not locate a marriage between James Clancy and Bridget Leonard. Roots does not have the Rossinver RC reocrds online yet. They start in 1844 which may be later than the marriage date. I also looked at the 1857 Griffiths Valuation head of household listing for Rossinver parish. There were no James Clancys in Largydonnell townland but there was a Bridget Clancy. I'm wondering if James had died and Bridget took over the land. Did not locate a John Leonard.
