Cloonclare should be photographed on IGP. If you are going to Manorhamilton then go into Library, there are centenary type books on churches etc which wouldn't be mainstream books and most sold locally. If you go in door, look at back wall and you'll see air conditioning unit on wall just to your left.. on the floor you'll find a cardboard box in which you get write ups on the various churches and many contain historical data/photos/registers etc..
