Thank you for your input. This has long been my suspicion, with the names Clyne and variant and also Coyle, though none can be found in the area I have been searching in. There was a Cloyne family from Co. Westmeath who was in the British army and there are many records including marriage, death and births of children in Ireland and India. There should be many Cloyne tombstone in California as there is a large family from there. And several listings in Canada, although all of these are most likely corrupted as you say. The Co. Westmeath one is harder to discount though. Part of trying to trace the various families, is to see if there are any connections and where they lead back to, to check against the known families in those areas at the time.

I think that there is confusion here - the name Cloyne in my opinion is simply a brogue pronounciation of the Irish Clyne/Cline. Irish immigrants of the 1800s were often illiterate, and this resulted in numerous spelling variations in written records. As an example, the name Nail or O Nail as found in Texas is really Neill or O Neill. Then there is O Mara and O Meara, Duffie and Duffy etc. There is a Cloyne tombstone in California which is the Irish Clyne. Thanks, L. Baxter, Longford, Ireland

Interested in all Cloyne Families as the name is so rare. Especially trees charts and any information as to where particular families came from.

In particular two girls from Co.Meath, early 1800's. Rose Cloyne married John Fitzsimons and Ellen Cloyne married Henry Doherty.

The son of Rose John (John) married the daughter of Ellen Henry (Mary) and they immigrated to Australia in 1840.
