  I am trying to find the origins of 'The Yellow Men' that tragically lost their lives on the Kilcloher rocks 1km from Kilbaha. The community have very generously and with great humility erected headstones for these poor souls and enveloped them into the community. I done extensive research and it seems that they were possibly Portuguese and died in the late 1800's, I have started a blog page and hope that anyone reading this and is looking for ancestors lost at sea, might have a read and spread the word. There has to be families out there looking for family that were, 'lost at sea'.Please visit: www.thegraveoftheyellowmen.blogspot.com

  In reply to Jack Carmody in Yucaipa,CA : unfortunately the Kilbaha / Kilballyowen / Kilbaha South areas were thick with Carmody families.

I have 4 pages of them just between 1852-78. Is there any way you could help narrow down a year of birth, or mother's maiden name, please?
The Civil Index of Births started in 1864 -- do you know how to look that up? Please contact me by email for more help.

  April 24, 2011: Christ is Risen. He is risen indeed!
As we celebrate Easter Sunday, isn't it sad that our president, Obama, would like to remove God from the Pledge of Allegiance; would like "in God we trust" removed from our currency; claims the United States is no longer a Christian nation; and the list goes on and on and on.
Have a beautiful and blessed Easter.

  In reply to Anne in Cork : keywords to search for on the internet are the placenames: LISDEEN and KILMIHIL for the Blake surname. As well as the websites www.ClareLibrary.ie and www.KilkeeParish.com : The Ennis newspaper, ClareChampion has published death notices on the Internet, -- probably also Theresa's Marriage Notice?

Kilkee Parish newsletter of 27 December 2009 : Recently Deceased: John Blake, of Bella. Son of Michael & Teresa Blake, of Lisdeen. Funeral Mass at Cross Church, west of Carrigaholt.
-------
There is also a Joe or Joseph Blake at Lisdeen, Kilkee.

-----------------
The death has occurred at Limerick Regional Hospital of Patrick (Buddy) Blake, Bella, Kilkee. Deeply regretted by his brother Michael (Lisdeen, Kilkee), sister-in-law Theresa, nephews, nieces, grandnephews & nieces, cousins, relatives and friends. Reposing on Saturday evening at Lillis' Funeral Home in Kilkee with removal at 6.00p.m. to Our Lady of Lourdes Church, Cross. Requiem Mass on Sunday at 1.00p.m. followed by burial in Moyarta Cemetery, Carrigaholt. May he rest in peace. -----
Date published: Thursday, December 02, 2010. That indicates that (another?) Teresa Blake was alive in December 2010. http://www.rip.ie/death_notices_detail.asp?NoticeID=121098

  Hello everyone,

I'm trying to find information on Teresa Blake (RIP) who I think may have lived in the Kilbaha/Carrigaholt area and passed away around 1980. I Know that Teresa married but do not know her married name. I would dearly love to visit her grave. Can anyone help me to do this?

Thanks you so much, Anne.

  George Healy (wife= nee Eliza Pyne) in the early-mid 1850s was a Protestant teacher at the proselytizing, "Souper" school at Kilbaha. Refer: "Cuchulain's Leap" by Paul Murphy.
This George was also a 'Bible Reader' at the Protestant Church which was at the Gatehouse of Marcus Keane's mansion on the hill & cliff to the southwest of Kilbaha Harbour & Boatramp. The house, pool & associated 'folly' are still impressive ruins there, but I think that the church has completely disappeared?

Does anyone know what happened to those Church Registers, please?

George Healy vigorously attacked Fr Michael Meehan and other Catholics in the era of "The Little Ark of Kilbaha". This same George Healy was postmaster at Kilbaha for some time after Fr M Meehan, P.P. was buried under the floor of Moveen Church in 1878.

I only have the Roman Catholic records for the LoopHead area, and I would love to also see any of the Protestant or Established Church of Ireland Registers.
I have tried the website : www.Carrigaholt.net/guestbook-page.html

I have another, related question, for your locals, please? :-- Marcus Keane was one of the most hated of the foreign landlord's agents in West Clare. Does anyone know when & how his Kilbaha mansions & church were destroyed? Probably c.1921 by fire?

All the best, Murray Ginnane

  HI. I am looking for maps of coastal walks around by the Bridges of Ross / Loop head lighthouse area. Can you tell me where I might find them? Many thanks.

  Further to Michael Rees' great-grandparents: in the St Mary's Catholic Church, Carrigaholt about March 20th 1861 a child (name not given!) was baptised to parents from TULLIG, = James Brennan & Margaret Quealy(the mother's alias, or maiden name). Sponsors were John Brennan & Mary McMahon. The Priest was Revd P Meehan.

Tullig is a townland on the north boundary of Kilballyowen, just northwest from Cross Village Church & Cemetery. Unfortunately, 'Mary McMahon' is the most commonly occurring local name. John Brennan may have been a father or a brother to James. Fr Michael Meehan was the main Parish Priest from 1850? to 1878.
I think that the Carrigaholt Register was the one CENTRAL book for several surrounding area churches, including Kilballyowen, Cross, Doonaha, etc. Probably baptisms & marriages were written on bits of paper out in the outlying districts, and later transferred to the central book?
Experts estimate that, typically, at least 30% of entries were left out altogether. It is unusual not to have the child's name, though.
Try www.ClareLibrary.ie for the several local cemetery headstone transcriptions. That's all I've got so far.

  In reply to Michael Rees: I can't yet see them married at St Mary's in Carrigaholt. I'll look up a Cross Parish history book : "Cuchulain's Leap" for more info.
You could try and Google "Kilbaha Ark" AND "MICHAEL MEEHAN" for the story on Kilballyowen Parish in 1857.
Keep in touch, please.
