My mother was from County Offaly. We have relatives (all spelled Claffey)
burried in and around Clonmacnois dating back hundreds of years before 1860.
There are even the ruins of a small Claffey chapel on the grounds of
Clonmacnoise. My second and third cousins still own farms surrounding the ruins of the
St. Kieran's monestary.

A determined fellow Claffey researcher has traced his family on official documents with the spellings as follows:
Klaffe (arrived 1845)
Klaffier
Claffee
Claffer
Klaffie
Kloffer
Claffey (spelling from 1860 forward)
Remember some early immigrants could not read or write, they had the accents of their native language, the officials who recorded the names often spelled it the way it sounded to them. So perhaps your hard to find ancestors are hiding behind one of these spellings.
A Claffey researcher gave me this information which I am passing along FYI.
Early in 2007 I paid Irish Midlands Ancestry to locate some records and I was very disappointed in the result. They only have transcriptions and sent lots of things I didn't ask for all bound up in a book. There were many
careless typos, photocopying sloppiness, etc. I like photocopies of the primary source
