Lardner Name in Twelve Roman Catholic Parishes in County Clare

Hello Everyone,

At this point I thought I would give everybody an idea where I am with locating Lardner families in the Roman Catholic records available on the NLI website. 

So far, I have been able to look at the records for twelve RC parishes: Knockera, Kilfiddane, Kildysart, Kilkee, Killard, Carrigaholt, Kilmacduane, Kilmihil, Killone, Kilmurry McMahon, Kilchrist, and St. Senan's.*

In the above image you will find that the parishes marked in yellow have a general count of individual Lardner couples/families have been found.  For those parishes in red, I was unable to locate any Lardner references in the available records for the said areas.

Please be aware, this count is not definitive proof that additional couples/families did not exist in the area. The availability of the records for certain time periods effects information presented on this blog as does the inevitability of human error.  

I have created the below .gif in order to display both the record availability for the various parishes under consideration and the presence or lack thereof of the Lardner name from 1827 to 1883.

In this image, parishes in white indicate that there were no records available from the NLI collection for the time period listed in the upper left-hand corner of the .gif. If the parish is grey in color, records are available but a subsequent search did not find any Lardners.  Finally, there are those parishes in yellow which have both the availability of records and the presence of the family name.

I intend to in detail each parish and their family groups/couples found in the NLI's parish records in future posts, but for now I hope you've enjoyed this current update.

Please let me know if you have any questions, concerns or comments.

Until Later,
Jessica

*NB: For the parish of Kilmihil I utilized the available name index for the area instead of going through the entire parish records entry by entry.

New Lardner Pages (Some with connections to pre-existing pages)!

Hello Everyone,

I've added a couple of new pages:

• Family of Michael Lardner and Mary Hoare **Kildysart Parish, Ireland**
• Family of Thady Lardner/Larner and Jane Ginnane **Kildysart Parish, Ireland**
• Family of Thomas Lardner and Bridget Corbett **Kilrush, Monmore, Reha, Clarefield, Carnanes, Ireland**
• Family of William Lardner and Catherine (Kitty) Machlin **Derra, Monmore, Kilrush, Ireland**

Of these four, it appears that William Lardner and Catherine Machlin are the probable parents of one of the new couples mentioned above and at least two of the other Lardners that I have pages for
already:

• John Lardner and Mary Wolf
• Thomas Lardner and Bridget Corbett **NEW**
• Anne Lardner and John Lynch 

I've added the corresponding parent/child links on each of the respective pages.

All the Best,
Jessica

More Family Page Updates

Hi Everyone,

Guess what happens when you revisit research/sources when your not completely and totally exhausted?  That's right. You find people... Right. Where. You. Would. Expect. Them. To. Be. *facepalm*

Anyway...  I've updated the pages for the following families:

• Family of Honora (Nora) Lardner and Michael O'Connell / Connell **Michigan & Illinois, United States - Labasheeda, Ireland**

• Family of John Lardner and Mary Wolf / Wolfe **Ohio & Illinois, United States - Kilrush, Ireland**

More updates coming as I wade through the registers.

New Lardners Identified and Added! *Corofin and Ennis*

Hello Everyone,

Just a quick update. I've added a new family page, made a connection to an existing family and found a previously unknown (to this blog) child.

Family of Margaret Lardner and Thomas Hunt **Corofin, Ennis, Ireland**

Margaret appears to be the child of William Lardner and Eliza Carrig per her marriage registry, who are listed as living in Ennis.  I had not discovered a index entry for her baptism on the Ennis parish website, but she has been added to her parents family page.

Family of William Lardner and Eliza Carrig **Ennis, Ireland**

In addition, I've discovered the baptism record for child whose mother was a Lardner in Corofin... Unfortunately his father is unknown at this time, as he appears to have been born out of wedlock.

• Peter (Lardner)
• Birth Date: 09 May 1874
• (Correction made to match baptism record, FHL had the 8th.)
• Birthplace: Clare, Ireland
• GS Film number: 255904
