1855...Clerkin Of County Monaghan....
We are looking to locate any decedents and or ancstors who may be related threw blood or kin to our Clerkin Family...
James Clerkin lived in Townland Cormoy, Parish Aghabog,
Barony Of Dartree, County Monaghan Ireland. We know and have confirmed (a son) Peter who was born 1857 and became a schoolmaster and worked in the County.At the age of 24
Peter married Jane McCabe daughter of Patrick McCabe from Parish Currin. The couple married May of 1881 in the Roman Catholic Chapel of Aghabog.
Peter who had been unwell for sometime became very ill just a short time after the marriage and died July 1881 of consumption in Cormoy, he could be buried in Latnamard or Killeveen Cemetery ( but not yet confirmed )
We have not located the name of his spouce and any other children in this Clerkin family, any records or documents
have never been found. If anyone out there can offer us anything on this family please contact us.
We also have more family history on Clerkin and McCabe in Ontario and would be more than happy to share with other family members.
With much thanks
Annesister Of Ontario.
