Those who follow the "What's New" list on the Clare Library website at <http://www.clarelibrary.ie> www.clarelibrary.ie will already have noticed that a meaty new data set is now online: an 1866 Census of Kilfenora and Kiltoraght Parishes drawn up in November 1866 by Fr. John Kenny and preserved in the Parish Archives in Kilfenora. This transcription is based on a 1984 typescript copy made of the original census by Fr. F. McCormack The dataset, which is crammed with names, places, lists of households, even ages of children, can be seen at <http://www.clarelibrary.ie/eolas/coclare/genealogy/census_1866/census_1866. htm> http://www.clarelibrary.ie/eolas/coclare/genealogy/census_1866/census_1866.h tm Go thither and drool.

Hi I have tried the link : http://www.clarelibrary.ie/eolas/coclare/genealogy/census_1866/census_1866. continually since receiving it but I get 'The page cannot be displayed' error. Since I joined the list I have loved reading about all the other families. I have learned a lot. The reason for me joining was to try to find info on my paternal gr grandad, so while I'm here I might put the details in and maybe someone can help me. His name was Martin Corbett. Age 23 he arrived in Melb Aust in Oct 1861 on the 'Empire of Peace' from Liverpool.( B 183 004 - Martin Corbet). He was born around 1835. On his death Cert it had County Clare Ireland as his place of birth. No parents names. He wasn't an assisted immigrant. He may have helped pay for a Timothy Corbett (Corbet) to come to Aust in 1865 (age 20). I know just about all of his life from his marriage to Catherine Hourigan in 1876 at Reedy Flat (now Batlow) her parents: Patrick Hourigan (Horrigan) & Ellen McGillicuddy. He died in Marrickville Sydney on 25th March 1922 at the age of 86. I have searched & searched for nearly 2 years & have just about given up. At one stage there I was even having dreams about it all. ( I'm sure there's a few who could relate to that). I have posts up on so many message boards I have forgotten most. I've written to libraries, shipping Co's etc etc. Searched untold lists - anyway... If anyone at all could help I would appreciate it so much. My funds are zilch at the moment which has restricted me somewhat. It has been really hard to not go keep going around in circles, but it did start to affect my home life. I will continue to read all the posts I get & if I have any info that could help anyone I will pass it on.
