    1. [IRL-KERRY] Cliffords of Co. Kerry
    2. Hi, I need some help with my Co. Kerry CLIFFORDs. All I know is that they were from Co. Kerry. My great-great grandfather, Patrick CLIFFORD was born in approx. 1837 and migrated to Wales sometime prior to 1863 when he married Ellen MURPHY. Patrick's father was Patrick CLIFFORD. Based on Irish naming patterns, I think that Patrick Jr.'s grandfather would be Michael CLIFFORD. I checked Griffith's Valuations - there were only 21 Patrick CLIFFORDS in all of Kerry. Of those 21 CLIFFORDs, 11 were from Killorglin. I was in Killorglin in January and checked out the parish records - and my Patrick CLIFFORD was not in there. I had a genealogist check Glenbeigh, and he said Patrick wasn't there either. The remaining areas are: Aghadoe Ballincuslane Dromod Kilcrohane Killinane Knocknane Molahiffe Prior >From what I understand, parish records don't go back as far as 1837 in those areas - but I'm not sure. Does anyone know? Or can anyone point me in another possible direction to pinpoint a town/placename? Thank you. Amanda Clifford
