Foley of Clonmel story (discounted)

There was a story that James O'Mara's wife Honora Foley was from Clogheen, near Clonmel, Co.Tipperary, where her family owned woollen mills.
As discussed on the Casey page, this is clearly confusion with the family of James O'Mara's mother, Casey, who were of near Clonmel.

No Foley is listed in CLOGHEEN or CLONMEL in [Pigot's directory, 1824].
No Foley is listed in CLOGHEEN or CLONMEL in [Slater's directory, 1846].
