A Few Names of Early Lardner Family Members

Hello Everyone,

I took a genealogical hiatus from the blog because of life and other good things, but I'm back now with a trip taken to Ireland and and a crazy genealogical project that I'm attempting to complete in the wings.

James Lardner from the townland of Cloonlaheen West, Clare

...Last time... There was a possible ancestor spotting found in the records of Griffith's Evaluation of County Clare ...

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 

Separate from my own research, relatives of mine were also on a mission to find our family in Ireland and commissioned a genealogical report from the Clare Heritage & Genealogical Research Centre in Corofin.

Through the Heritage Centre's work, they were able to find seven separate baptismal entries for children who were born to a James Lardner and Bridget (O)Sullivan in Cloonlaheen West (Roman Catholic parish of Kilmurry Ibrickane, Diocese of Killaloe):

• James, baptized on 2 January, 1840 
• John, baptized on 17 April, 1841
• William, baptized on 4 February, 1843
• Anne, baptized on 7 December, 1844
• Michael, baptized on 19 July, 1846
• Patrick, baptized on 23 July, 1848
• Ellen, baptized on 1 July, 1850

Comparing the birth information gathered for the two known siblings, the above baptism dates in bold appear to correspond with my 2x great grandfather and aunt’s birth dates given as 1 January, 1840 and 1 July, 1850 respectively.  These individuals could be my family!  If I could, I would hug the person who put this report together. 

Also included in the Centre's report was a copy of James Lardner Sr's 1883 death register record for the civil district of Cragaknock,Union of Kilrush.  According to this document, James died on 13 July, 1883 in Clonlaheen at the age of 80 which would place his year of birth around 1803.  His wife, who is listed as the informant of his death, was a woman by the name of Kate Lardner.  

Per the Centre's report, Bridget (Sullivan) Lardner died sometime after 1850 and James married again, this time to a Catherine "Kate" (Breen) O'Halloran.  Marriage records were not included for the couple in the research, so I'm not sure where Catherine's information comes from, but apparently decedents of Catherine and her first husband, Thomas O'Halloran, still own the family property today.

As a result of this report, my next tasks will be to track down a microfilm copy of the church registers for Kilmurry Ibrickane in order to gather images of the baptism entries, while locating records for Bridget's death and James' subsequent marriage to Catherine.

Until later...

All the Best,

Jessica
