Hi Len Thank you for this (and for all your posts). I scrolled through in the fond hope of finding a McQuade ancestor. I didn’t really expect to as I knew fromRC baptisms that Mary Ann McQuade, from Clontyclay, Clonfeacle, was baptised in 1822. But she married John Clark in Monifieth, Scotland, and the Clarks were staunch Presbyterians. It must have been difficult for her to raise her children outside her faith. Even into the 20th century these Clarks were scathing of Roman Catholics. Dorothy in New Zealand
