Hi Tony. it might help to search the Kilmaley gravestones photos recently photographed, compiled and submitted to Clare Library by John Mayer, on behalf of Clare Roots Society. I know there are some O'Gradys and O'Deas listed... you can sort as to whether any are relevant for you. A hint when searching...just look for Grady and Dea... then you get positive results including the O' http://foto.clarelibrary.ie/fotoweb/Grid.fwx?archiveId=5000&search=(IPTC025%20contains%20(Kilmaley%20Graveyard)) or tiny URL http://tinyurl.com/3twwclh This is a wonderful effort and contribution by John.

Hi Chris, Thanks very much for suggesting the Graveyard Inscriptions site. It is marvellous - but unfortunately no O'Gradys or O'Deas.

Hi Tony, I must be seeing things... I did have success earlier...on the general graveyard photos as in this... I did get lots of hits... just tried O'Dea Sorry, I must have slipped from one database to the other... that has me puzzled. Tried it again and though it has Kilmaley in the URL, it isn't the one that John did, rather an overall collection. You might be lucky here... http://tinyurl.com/4yefm4m > Hi Chris, > Thanks very much for suggesting the Graveyard Inscriptions site.

Clare Library Site has a little gem on their site which should be checked as an alternative source for information on Clare Family research: http://www.clarelibrary.ie/eolas/coclare/genealogy/census_search_forms/index.htm When the Old Age Pension was introduced in Ireland in 1908, people had to prove they were over 70 years of age in order to qualify. As Civil Registration did not begin until 1864, birth certificates were not available for those born before that date. The government, therefore, found it necessary to establish a person's age by allowing the census returns of 1841 and 1851 to be searched. (The original forms were subsequently destroyed in 1922, during the Civil War.) Applicants provided the information by letter, and where there were sufficient details, a search was carried out. When the family was found, and the applicant identified as a child of the family, a certified copy of the return was provided on payment of two shillings. The information in the Census Search Forms, or 'Green Forms' - the internal office records of the search made - is given here. Two points of access are provided to the information: by the applicant's surname, and (where given) by the applicant's mother's maiden name.
