A railroad laborer who was baptized March 1, 1830 in the Catholic parish in Kinnegad, Westmeath, Ireland. He immigrated to Canada with his parents, Owen Cleary & Catherine Donohoe, and older brother Thomas around 1832-33. Sisters later included Margaret, Mary, Catherine, Bridget and Elizabeth. Hugh married Catherine Phelan (sometimes spelled Whelan) in 1854 at St. Malachie Parish in Ormstown, Quebec. Their children: Catherine, Owen Joseph, Mary Ann, James, John Jeremiah, Hugh, and Thomas.
Exact date and circumstances of his death are unknown. Hugh is shown in the 1871 Canadian census with his family, and along with son, Hugh. However, Hugh Jr. died in Oct. 1871 and the parish record only references "son of Mrs. Cleary." Therefore, Hugh Sr. likely died sometime before his son in 1871 but there is no record of his internment in existing parish records for St. Mary's Cathedral.
