From the information you supply, I suspect these families would have
lived in wither the parishes of Clones or Currin in Monaghan. Indeed,
the surname Welsh is associated with Currin, I think the townland of
Tullyumphry. As for Clarkes, there were families of the name in the
Fermanagh portion of Clones parish. The fact that they married in
Fermanagh suggests that this was the bride's home area, so I would look
to either Aghadrumsee (St Marks) or Clogh (Chapel of Ease), both in
Clones Civil Parish, yet located not in Monaghan, but in Fermanagh. The
parish of clones straddles the two counties. let me know if you have
any success in tracing them here.
All the best
