Hello,
I'm tracing Clabbys from nearby Roscommon, possibly Tulsk parish. My great-great-great grandfather was James Clabby, born sometime around 1800 in Roscommon. We believe he married Susan Murphy. They had three children that we know of: Susan, Bridget and James Jr., born in the 1830s and 1840s. James Sr. may have died near Birmingham, England, in 1851. His children certainly settled in that area before emigrating to America between 1865 and 1890. In the late 1970s, a cousin of my grandfather's was in touch with a John Clabby of Clondra, whose family had come out of Roscommon a generation or two before. Don't know if they ever established a connection, but thought I'd say hello in case any of these people sound familiar!
