Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

I searched on two different subscription sites: Roots Ireland and FindMyPast and did not find a baptismal record for Michael or a marriage record for James Cooney and Mary Malone. A good number of RC parishes do not have records back to the 1830s. So likely your family attended one of those parishes. Both surnames are fairly common (Malone more than Cooney) and are found in most coun ties in Ireland so I could not suggest a likely county of origin.

You may want to add Michael's story and picture to our XO Chronicles site https://irelandxo.com/ireland-xo/history-and-genealogy/ancestor-database
