Cooney Family

Todd,

Welcome to IrelandXO.  I'm a volunteer here in Roscrea - about 25 miles away from the Portroe area, but I have done a bit of research and hope this helps a little.  I found both Michael Cooney and Ann Genane - I think it's Guinan myself, but all of these are spelled phonetically as someone heard them! I also found James' Baptism record, both attached in the Certificates file here.  I'm sorry to say that I could find no record of Pat's irth or any other siblings.

I did locate Michael's and Anne's Death Certificates.  Their son Patrick married Maria Quinn in 1879 and went on to have Eight children.  Links to all the certificates (free to downoad and print) for births, marriage and death follow:

Hi Todd

James Cooney (1839-1915) is my great granduncle.  His brother, Thomas Cooney (1844-1916) is my great grandfather.

I was under the impression that James, Thomas, Bridget and Hanorah (Norah) all travelled over together.  I'm going off a family written summary we located after my Dad passed away last year.  I guess as we both know, nothing is confirmed until it's triple checked :-).
I'm also unaware of any Penelope being in this branch of the tree.

If you have any death details of Patrick Cooney (b.1853) the brother who stayed in Ireland that you can share I'd be really grateful.  I can't find anything relating to his death.

Not sure if you have seen the following website, if you haven't, I think you'll find it very interesting.  It's about James Cooney and 1121 Hoddle Street, East Melbourne.

Yes, I understand, way late to this post.  But here's what I've found and also don't know that maybe will help.

I believe that this Michael Cooney and his wife Ann Guinane may be an uncle of my gggrandmother Ellen Cooney b ca 1820s who later married John Hogan.

Does anyone know siblings of Michael or place of his birth?  My closest DNA matches are in Youghlarra/Ballyvaughan area.  One researcher believes he was born in Urlingford.

I've a group of 20 or so folks who match on DNA and we work collaboratively on this family, discovered through DNA.  Anyone wish to contact me, roseann_hogan@yahoo.com

Thanks guys!

Todd, your facts are consistent with what I've found for this family as well.
