Notes: 

I have changed the townland to Meenaloughrane for the following reasons:

1. There is no townland of the name supplied before

2. A careful view of the photo will convince you that there are letters missing and the name is longer than the one suppleid previously.

3. having viewed a list of actual townlands this was the nearest match - the only reasonable match

4. The 1901 and 1911 census shows Cliffords of the same names as on this stone

5.I have been searching for these Cliffords (and O Learys) for some time and am familiar with the family in t his area (Dromtariffe) as well as in London, Castlelyons, Glanmire Cork and Palmdale CA and know the usual family names.  I come from this line of Timothy Clifford (Timmy on this stone)  and there are now five generations of Timothy, the most recent ones bein in CA and OK.

Update: Logainm, lists the townland as "Meenagloghrane" (https://www.logainm.ie/en/12641). Anyone know of a relationship between these Cliffords and those in CO-OCLL-0068, which is the same plot!?
