Note
I have found my Michael Leyden as he and 5 of his siblings emigrated to Australia - 5 to Queensland & 1 to New South Wales. I have managed to trace many of their descendants.
The Kilfenora Parish Census of Nov 1866 (which included Kilfenora Village, Kylemore & Kiltoraght) had a comment that he he had emigrated to the US and this of course was incorrect. This census lists 40 Leydens in 6 households and has proved invaluable. It is available free on the website of Clare Co. Library.
