Robert, The parish of KILKEEDY is now the parish of Tubber. I don't have access to the Tubber parish baptismal records but they have them at the Clare Heritage Centre in Corofin. They will look up your Kilkellys for a fee. I assume that you have already been to the Clare Library site at www.clarelibrary.ie and typed "Kilkelly AND Kilkeedy" into their search engine and found all the Kilkelly/Tubber records (remembering that Carrowcraheen - also spelled Carhucraheen - and Creggaunycahill are townlands in the centre of metropolitan Tubber). The Kilkelly records in Tubber go back to the Tithe Applotment times (1824). The Clare Library doesn't charge a fee for access to this cornucopia. You are on a roll.
