I recently saw the book, the Burning of Bridget Cleary, mentioned on
this site. I couldn't resist so I just checked it out from the public
library. It lists some of Bridget Boland Cleary's genealogy, but very
little about her husband's family. I'm not too far into the book, but
unfortunately it seems that our possible ancestor, Michael Cleary,
burned his poor wife Bridget to death in Tipperary in 1895. I put a
request in to the library to get another book on the same topic called
The Cooper's Wife is Dead.
"My" Cleary's, including a Bridget, had already been living in
Massachusetts for decades when all this occurred in Ireland, but I guess
my ggrandfather could have been a contemporary of Michael Cleary's
father.
