I just did this. Go to the Clare Library site. Click Genealogy. Under that heading is listed cemeteries. Chose one and enter the name. I, amazingly, not only found my great-great grandparents, but 2 sons I didn't know existed. Since few Irish records were kept on the citizens of Ireland, birth dates are often wrong. My great grandmother always gave her birthdate as 1847. If she had been born in that year she would have been 9 years old when she gave birth to her first child. Not even the census taker noticed this gross error when he had both of them sitting in front of him. Love it!
