I am interested in the history of the Ronan family of County Clare. My great grandfather was James Ronan of Ennis . He married Mary Kennedy. James died quite young Mary was left with two children Margaret & Phillip.
Margaret my grandmother was born in Ennis in about 1851. Mary later left for Australia.She left her children in the care of her mother Mary Kennedy who had a shop in Ennis. After her arrival in Tasmania she married a man named Muldoon, then sent for her children.My grandmother was 16 when she left Ennis for Australia. At age 24 she married Timothy O'Hehir in Melbourne 1875. Timothy O'Hehir was also from County Clare.
