Research on the Haggerty family was begun by my grandmother, Florence Huff Haggerty, over 60 years ago. Many others have contributed information since then. Major family lines included in this database also include Bateman, Clarke, Meredith and Reynolds. These records have been collected from many sources--not all have been verified. Please check with me for information on original sources to verify all records.

  • ID: I10174
  • Name: William CLARKE
  • Surname: Clarke
  • Given Name: William
  • Sex: M
  • Christening: 30 Dec 1804 Coolbanagher parish, Queen's county, Ireland
  • Death: 11 Jun 1882 in Queen's County, Ireland
  • Burial: Coolbanagher parish, Queen's county
  • _UID: CB24DCB8F6FDCD49B7E573714CAF58147309
  • Note:
    Baptism record in the Parish register, RCBL, #P429.011.
    It is a bit challenging trying to sort out the Williams. The baptism register for children of William and Eliza Clarke indicates that William Clarke, Esquire was of Rathleague. Rathleague is the townland immediately east of Meelick, home of the Thomas Clarke family. The 1850 Griffiths Valuation shows Wm. Clarke occupying a house in Rathleague, as well as two different William Clarkes holding land in the townland of Borris little (Borris civil parish) where there are records of land holdings for both a "Wm. Clarke, jun., Esq." and "Wm. Clarke, sen., Esq." Wm. jun. occupies a house in Borris, little. Wm. sen. holds land, but does not occupy a house there. My guess is that Wm. of Rathleague could have been Wm. sen. of Borris.
    There is also William Clarke in the Griffiths holding Block 3 A, B, C & D in Killimy, leased from the Earl of Portarlington: a total of about 20 acres; valued at £9/10. A house on Block 3D was subleased to Michael Salmon. As well, a William Clarke, whose wife was named Catherine leased land in Morett--one of the three Morett holdings included a house, so that is probably where he lived--altogether, we are still trying to sort out the Williams.
    Death notice in "Freeman's Journal and Daily Commercial Advertiser," 13 June 1882: "CLARKE -- June 11, 1882, at Rathleague, Maryborough, William Clarke, Esq, Coroner for Queen's County, aged 78. Funeral will leave at 11 o'clock for Coolbanagher. Friends will please accept this invitation." Death registration Maryborough: occupation Gentleman and Coroner of Queen's county; cause of death "Natural causes to wit syncope."
