My great-great Grandparents were Arthur & Ellen Rooney & their daughter,also Ellen was my great grandmother. She was born in 1842 at Moneygall, Kings County. Not sure when she immigrated to Australia
Imformation is very vague as I only have the information from her marriage certicicate when she married my Great grandfather, George Haughton at the Tambo Inn in Queensland Australia on the 17th November 1967. Condition of parties described him as bachelor & her as widow but she had her & her fathers surname as Rooney & her mothers maiden name as Hayes.She was then 25 years of age.Her farther was a farmer.
However on her death certificate her fathers surname is listed as Hayes ( which I think was actually her mothers maiden name) She was 61 when she died at Alpha , Queensland , Australia on the 2nd October 1902. A note of interest, her headstone is still in perfect condition after 112 years.
If anyone can help in anyway I would be most appreciative.

Hello,
thanks for your message which I have passed on to the Moneygall parish. It is very far back in terms of records but if they could find Obama, well you never know!
Will post here if there is anything found.
