Hi Jimmy - I'm no expert, but the LDS (Mormon) FHCs have records on line and also filmed microfilmed church records. I once ordered to view a microfilm that included pages of a a tattered little black book with records of St. Patrick's Chapel in Drumshanbo, Leitrim. You can check and see what they have for your Cloonfad Chapel. Have you tried the website Leitrim-Roscommon.com? It has 1901 Census information for Leitrim, Roscommon, Mayo, Sligo. Other data is being added. Valuable is that if an individual on one census was born in another county or country they include that information. There are many references to Cavan, for instance, on the Leitrim census. Check out the 1901 census data for your surnames of interest, something may ring a bell, such as associated surnames enumerated in the household as visitors, relatives, etc., if some of the family remained there in 1901. After a surname search, the location "Cloonfad" in the "Townland" field, check out the surnames of the families come up. If you know for SURE that is the location (Cloonfad) where your families lived, you might consider contacting the Valuation Office Dublin website. For a fee, and using their cancelled land books, current land books, survey, tenure, field books and old maps, they can check for transactions on particular parcels of land from the Griffith's Valuation to the present or near present. This might give you a date of immigration or sale of property due to a death, etc. 1901 Census Roscommon Cloonfad East CP Kiltullagh Barony Castlerea Roscommon Household (1) BURKE, Jane (42) husband away Household (2) - (neighbor) BURKE, Pat (32?) shopkeeper.
