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.
