James Noonan in Teermaclane 1830's - 1850's

Dear LL:

Thank you for your query to the Ireland Reaching Out message board.  You might be interested to know that the Ennis parish registers have been transcribed and are availble through the Clare Library website:

http://www.clarelibrary.ie/eolas/coclare/genealogy/don_tran/bmd/baptism_records_killone.htm

There are also other resources for Killone civil parish (where Tiermaclane is located).  They are available through this link:

http://www.clarelibrary.ie/eolas/coclare/places/killone.htm

I will copy this post to a local historian in that area who may be able to reply with further information.

Please let me know if you have further questions.

Kind regards,

Jane

Hi LL:  below is what information was received from the gentleman that I mentioned earlier: 

With our records beginning in 1834, three children of James Noonan and Bridget O’Brien appear:

Clarecastle/Ballyea Church Baptisms:

MICHAEL

NOONAN

JAMES

NOONAN

BRIDGET

O'BRIEN

13-Jan-1836

1836

BALLYEA

JOHN

NOONAN

JAMES

NOONAN

BRIDGET

O'BRIEN

17-Jan-1843

1843

BALLYEA

JAMES

NOONAN

JAMES

NOONAN

BRIDGET

O'BRIEN

21-Jul-1845

1845

BALLYEA

I can’t find a Noonan marriage or indeed a Kearse marriage in the records. Neither can I find any of the children in Ballyea school rolls. Noonan as a name seems to have died out in Ballyea in 1846. There were Noonan families there other than those of James and Bridget.

I hope that this is of some help to you

 Kind regards,  

Jane 

Wow! Thank you so much, Jane! That's very kind and helpful of you! How interesting that only some of the children appear, and that George is not one of them. He was born in 1837... I wonder if it is possible that George and Martin are not related (directly) to this family after all! Drat! Now I need to go back and check how I got the idea that James and Bridget were his parents!

Thnk you again for the info! It's been a long time since I found anything new about George!

Take care,
Loralee

Hello Jane,
First of all, so sorry to not reply for nearly two years! ! I don't think I ever get notices about emails or responses; at least, somehow, I missed that one...
None of those names you mentioned sound familiar, unfortunately... =(
