I am searching for information on CHRISTOPHER and PATRICK JOSEPH CLEAR (different documents have various spelling, such as CLEAR,CLAER, CLAIR and CLARE). The two immigrated from County Wexford to Toronto, Canada in approximately 1847 and later moved to Lucan, Canada and then to Palo Alto County, Iowa in 1873. CHRISTOPHER was born June 9, 1839 or 1840 and died in 1928 in Emmetsburg, Iowa and PATRICK JOSEPH was born March 17, 1820. We believe the parents were PATRICK and MARY but we have no way of knowing if they immigrated also. When PATRICK died in 1904 at 84 years, his obituary listed a brother THOMAS CLARE still living in Ireland. If anyone has any information regarding this family, or access to early census records from County Wexford, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, G.R. WILCOX grwilcox@rconnect.com
