Hello. I'm researching the Cleary family in Riverhead, Hr. Grace, Newfoundland - Canada. Two brothers come to Newfoundland - possibly around 1850 - 1860. Family lore has it that they were "banished". I don't know where in Ireland they were born - but their names were William and John. John was born 1839, I believe. I would appreciate any help. Thanks.

I'm looking for any information on my great great grandmother's family. Her name was Catherine Cleary, mother was Catherine Nolan and father was James Cleary. They settled in Cornwall, Ontario upon their arrival from Westmeath, Ireland. Catherine was married to Thomas Dixon and had two children that I know of James and Edward Dixon. Catherine was born in 1822 in Ireland and had 2 sisters and three brothers. Please feel free to contact with any clues whatsoever. Thanks!

I am still looking for information on the Cleary family - I have Lawrence living on Pearl St in New York with wife Mary, children Mary, James, John, and Lawrence Jr., sister-in-law Ellen Hoolahan and nephew Patrick Dunn in 1880. Lawrence living on Stone Street in New York and naturalized in 1857. Lawrence Jr with spouse Mary E., children Edward, Lawrence, Nellie, James, Marguerite, Lauretta, and Frank, Brother-in-law Frank McCann and niece Edith McCann in 1910 and 1920 in Brooklyn. Edward (my grandfater) and Lawrence were living on 7th St in Brooklyn in 1917 when they enlisted. I'd like any information on these family members.
Thanks for replying. Did your Cleary family have the Irish patriot and poet
Charles Kickham in it? His mother was a Cleary. And my great uncle William
Fowler had told my mother that we were related.

My Cleary line arrived in New York possibly around that time. They emigrated to Canada (Peterborough area, Ontario). I don't have much information but my great-great grandfather's name was James, there may be a connection. Feel free to e-mail me, I'm trying to adjust my chart to put it on the boards.
I read with interest the query regarding Cleary's in Ohio. My maternal great
grandmother was Johanna Cleary. As far as I know she was from Mullinahone,
County Tipperary. She married John Fowler. She stayed in Ireland. My grandmother,
Bridget Agnes Fowler, came to the USA in 1904. She married Thomas Egan. They
lived in Jersey City, NJ. There were a number of both the Egan and Fowler
families who came to the States but they stayed mainly in NJ and CT. If anyone has
any connection to these branches of the family tree I would love to hear from
you.
