The closest I could come to Glencara or Blencara was Glenlara in the parishes of Kilmore and Burrishoole. I found only 4 listings for Cafferky in Griffith's, in the parishes of Kilmoremoy, Kilmore, Kilcommon, and Kilbefad. The Cafferky in Kilmore was in Aghaglasheen townland, not terribly far from Glenlara, so that might be your family. Unfortunately, I couldn't find Cafferkys in either townland in 1901, but they were in other townlands. If Michael married in Ireland, you might look for his marriage. Otherwise, get the most likely birth registrations from the GRO, the LDS, or rootsireland.ie, though it will be hard to know which is yours without more information.
