Hi Hal, You are looking for the parish of CLONTARF on the north side of Dublin.The two Churches are on the South side of Dublin. The family may have been from the Southside of Dublin and were living on the Northside. It would not be uncommon for familys to return to their roots. I would suggest the male of the family lived on the Southside of Dublin.
