Hi my name is Kirstin Ruth Jones. My 10 month old son is a descendant of Thomas & Ann Clancy as follows:

My son Rocksen Jack Lloyd Clancy (born Darwin NT 2007) is the son of
Chad Andrew Clancy (born Gosford NSW 1971) who is the son of
Leon Robert Clancy (born Geelong VIC 1937) who is the son of
Thomas Joseph Clancy (born Gladstone QLD 1896, died Melbourne Vic 1966) who was the son of
Richard Patrick Clancy (born Melbourne VIC 1842, died Brisbane QLD 1922) who was the son of
Thomas & Ann Clancy.

Pretty impressive direct line hey! I have to check with Leon Clancy that ive got this 100% right but im confident enough to post it. Obviously there are other children and mothers/wives in this link to acknowledge but i was more concentrating on directly linking my son through the Clancy men.

I am related to Joseph Cooper Doran and Mary Nanno Clancy. What I have read of the book so far is great.
I canh now add to my online family tree

Hi , just fiinished reading your e-book. My family tree is most probably ‘Clancy of Munster’ Co. Clare . My G-Grndfather William arrived in1862
Brisbane. His 2 brothers John & Patrick arrived in 1866, all had issue. The 3 brothers were from Mitchelstown, Co. Cork. Their parents ,Martin
and Abbe (Corcoran) Clancy. Have just started looking for them in Ireland . Shane

Hi there. I came across this site by accident when researching information on the Irish in Geelong. I can trace my Clancy (sometimes spelt Clancey)heritage back to Castletownroche. My ancestor in Castletownroche was one
Thomas Clancy b. c 1802-1807 who married Mary Ellen McGrath b. c.1800-1801. They married in London, and Thomas’s brothers Patrick b. c. 1792-1796, and John b. c. 1790-1803, also emigrated to London. In Ireland the Clancy’s lived in a house called The Close, about half a mile west of Castletownroche. After Thomas emigrated to England a John Clancy was still living in the house. Thomas’s father was also named Thomas. John was still living in The Close in 1839 but soon after was evicted (probably due to the famine). By 1893 a Mr. James Hickey was living in the house but I don’t know who had it in the meantime. Thomas and Mary Ellen produced 8 children in London, one being my g.g. grandfather Patrick Clancy, b. 30.03.1839. He and wife Mary Deverick produced 7 children, one being my
g.grandfather Thomas Terrance b. 18.07.1861 and Married to Alice Anne Mason. They in turn had a further four children, one being my grandmother Alice Ethel Clancy. She and her sister having married, and the two sons not
having had any children, the Clancy name dies out in my line at that point.

I have not yet had a chance to read the book which inspired this blog, though
will make a point of doing so within the near future.

I am writing from Ireland and am a Clancy by the grace of God! I thought I might give some information on the septs of Clancys. I did some research some time ago and found that there are two septs, one comes from the barony of Corcomroe (Cahermaclancy) in Clare and were brehons (hereditary judges) to the O’Brien chieftains. A lot of this sept seem to have spread out to bordering southern counties like Limerick, Cork and Tipperary, two Clancy brothers fought in the Siege of Limerick! Another sept derives from Leitrim (west of Ireland). From what I could gather these two septs are not related…

My Great Great Grandfather was Michael Clancy a Wood Sawyer born Circa 1854 in Leitrim. His wife was Mary Golden born Circa 1859 in Dublin. Sometime prior to 1880 they moved to Manchester England and had 4 childre. My Great Grandfather was John Owen Clancy also a wood sawyer born in 1880 in Manchester. His Siblings were Philip Clancy born 1882 Manchester, Margaret Clancy born 1884 Manchester, and Catherine born 1886 Manchester.
John Owen married my Great Gran Sarah Alice Fisher in 1902 in Manchester. They had ten children
If you think you may know anymore about my Great Grandparents Michael and Mary please let me know

My mother is Merle Eileen Chappelow (nee Clancy). Her father was John Dennis Clancy and her mother was Rose Anna May Webber. My mother was born in Chinchilla Queensland, other siblings were born Surat, Miles & Roma.

Does anyone have any traces back to her father (my grandfather)??

Please note that the picture in Chapter 2 titled as St. Patrick’s Melbourne
is in fact St. Francis’ Church, Lonsdale Street Melbourne.

Interesting to see the mention of Charles Fitzwilliam as he was related to my wife and did not know of the information so contained in the book.

The Clancy surname is unusual in England. I am the son of Anthony Hugh Clancy and the grandson of Sidney Clancy originally from the Limerick area of Ireland. Our history then becomes vague. I am always interested in the Clancy clan.
