I thank the people who look after the Clerihan Websight. I enjoy looking into it. Now there was a request about the Castle. In my listening to people it was said that there were two castles up near the Ballyclerihan graveyard. One on the left of the road as you go towards Cahir and the other on the right just behind the graveyard in Pat Ryan’s field. 700 people lived in the village up there. (Tradition says)

Excellent website. Does Cleriham Castle exist? Mentioned in marriage of John Thomas Medlycott to Elizabeth Lockwood daughter of William Lockwood. I am related to the Lockwood family via my great grandmother.
If it remains location please. Visiting Ireland next year
Thank You

I was born in Kockeevan, Clerihan. It was always and ever called that in my lifetime. If their was a funeral going to the old graveyard, it was going to Ballyclerihan. So, I would prefer Clerihan. Thanks for the wonderful history.

It is nice to see something about Clerihan and the origins of the name of the town. However, you might want to do some research about the name Mockler, which is MauClerc, anglicized, I believe. We were in Tipperary some years ago and saw THE HISTORY OF CLONMEL by William P. Burke, 1907, in the Library. The MacClerc family were Normans. There is information about them in histories of France. We thought Clerihan was a beautiful town.

Is there any documentation to support the theory that “When the Cleirchens arrived in Tipperary they changed their name to MauClerc and this was anglicised to Mockler” I thought that they were two different families – though both contain the word cleric – the Clerihan family would have been Irish and the Mockler family would have been Norman French ???

cant forget about the under 12 girls football team either who beat clonmel og last night to secure a place in the county final. Congrats to all and well done girls and their trainers for all the hard work they put in, hope we’ll do the double , under 12 boys and girls . Final should be in two weeks time so all support greatly appreciated.
