Cleary



Baptism of James Cleary in Mullinahone, 7 Aug 1823.


  
Timothy Cleary.
He might be relation of Johanna Cleary.
He mar 18 Jan 1819 [Mullinahone RC par records] to Mary Mansfield. See entry from here.
Lived Ballyvoneen, Modeshil par (N of Mullinahone).
Listed at Ballyvoneen at bapt of dau Judith 1826.
Listed at Ballyvoneen at bapt of son Redmond in May 1828.
There is a deed dated 19 Nov 1828 between Timothy Cleary, farmer, Ballyvoneen, and Patrick Cleary, shopkeeper, Mullinahone.
Listed at Bawnavrona, Kilvemnon par (N of Mullinahone) at bapt of dau Ellenor 1830. Though it lists mother as "Ellen Mansfield". Note that Bawnavrona borders Ballyvoneen, so it might be same place as before.

Timothy died.
Mary and children emigrated to America. Moved to St.Louis, Missouri. James stayed in Ireland.
The Clearys moved to Chicago in June 1863. Joined there by James and his family.
Timothy and Mary had issue:


  1. James Mansfield Cleary.
    James Cleary.
    "Mansfield" after mother's family.
    He was bapt James Cleary, 7 Aug 1823 [Mullinahone RC par records], sp Joan Mansfield and Redmond Cantwell.
    See image from here.

    Death notice says he was born in parish of Kilcash, NE of Clonmel, Co.Tipperary.
    But this is wrong. His middle name Mansfield matches Mary Mansfield of Ballyvoneen near Mullinahone. Also his death notice shows a brother Redmond Cleary, matching the son of Timothy Cleary and Mary Mansfield of Ballyvoneen.
    The confusion is because he lived in or near Kilcash rather than was born there: His 1st wife died at Graigue near Kilcash, and was buried at Kilcash.


  2. Judith Cleary,
    bapt 16 Jan 1826 [Mullinahone RC par records]. See entry from here.

  3. Redmond Cleary,
    son, bapt 27 May 1828 [Mullinahone RC par records]. See entry from here.

  4. Ellenor Cleary,
    bapt 8 Aug 1830 [Mullinahone RC par records]. See entry from here.
    It lists mother as "Ellen Mansfield" but that must be just an error.






N of Mullinahone is Bawnavrona upper and lower.
N of that is Ballyvoneen.
From 1829 to 1842 map.
