Searching for information about Peter Mooney and Margaret Doyle and their families. Peter and Margaret were married Feb 1829 in Rochfortbridge. I am aware of 3 children born in Rochfortbridge - Patt b. 1832, Thomas b 1838 and Margaret b 1846. Thomas and Margaret eventually emigrated to Jefferson County, Ohio USA. My wife is descended from Thomas. Based on the gaps in the birth years of the 3 known children, I assume there are others.
 

Also, I found a Peter Mooney b July 1809 to Terence Mooney and Alice Brady in Dunboyne. The date and place make some sense that this is the same Peter, but I have nothing that definitively confirms that. I have no additional information on Margaret Doyle. 

Any information or direction is appreciated. 
Myron

  • Hi Myron,

    One more sibling from www.rootsireland.ie/:

    Informant 1:Thomas DoyleSponsor 2 /
    Informant 2:Ann Sheeran

    The marriage of Peter & Margaret is on roots but does not have their parents' names!

    The Tithe Applotments (free at http://titheapplotmentbooks.nationalarchives.ie/) have 1 Peter Mooney in Westmeath (no Terrences) in 1824

    IF Peter followed the Irish naming pattern with his children his parents would have been Patt and Margaret (1st son & 2nd daughter)
