James J Noone

GalwayMoycullen (Galway)

Hi,

I'm looking for any information about a James Noone. Based on the information I have and my understanding of the naming configurations followed in Ireland in the 1800's, the first son born to my great great grandfather was named "James". My great great grandfather's name was Thomas Noone( born 1825 in Moycullen). Thomas immigrated to the US in 1851. He already had two daughters (Mary and Bridget). The first child born in the US was a boy and was named "James J." His 2nd son was named "Robert Patrick". Thomas' wife,Ellen Earner wad born in 1815, place unknown but probably in Moycullen. Again based on the naming configurations as I understand them, the 2nd son usually carried the name of the mother's father. If correct this would mean he was named "Patrick Robert Earner". Are their any records available for Moycullen with the names of "James Noone" or "Patrick Robert Earner" in the very early 1800's or late 1700's?

Thanks for any assistance.

Hi, Many thanks for the information. One quick question. We've always spelled our name with an "e" i.e. Noone. Do you think the "Noon" spelling refers to the same family? 

Best regards,

Hi Tim,

A search of the original Moycullen parish records online:

Baptism: Sally (Sarah) Noone - November 4th 1848 - Father - Thomas Noone -  Mother - Ellen Earner - No address - Sponsors: Daniel Earner and Bridget Noone

Baptism: Bridget Noone - February 25th 1851 - Father- Thomas Noone - Mother: Ellen Earner - No address - Sponsors: James and Judith Earner

Griffith's land register: Printed 1855 - Coolagh: John Noone - Newtown: Thomas Noone and Mathias Noone - Oghery: Patrick Noone

As you can see the letter E was added in most cases. In relation to the name "O'Toole". It was "Tool" and it then became "Toole". Many changes came about in the 1850's

You were interested in the name "Robert". The only person in that immediate area in the 1850's was a "Robert Lynch" in Drimmneen. He may be a relative of the Earner family?

Ross Estate about two miles away was owned by Robert and James Martin which was in Killannin parish. Others with the name "Robert" were in Rosscahill and Esker.

No record found for the marriage of Thomas Noone and Ellen Earner.

Hi Tim,

In regard to "Robert Patrick Noone" the medical doctor attached to Moycullen was a "Robert J. Morgan" in the early 1850's.

Source: Griffith House Valuation for Kilarainey by Thomas Quinn on September 12th 1853 and marriage on September 15th 1856 - Press report,

also a meeting in Clifden in March 1852 with local  Moycullen landlord - George E. Burke, Esq.

Question: was Ellen Earner Noone a patient of his? This may solve the issue!

McCoy

Hi Tim,

Saw your post just now. I also have Noones and Earners from Moycullen, Coolaghy to be exact. I strongly suspect we're related.

I hope you're still following the conversation here. If you are and you see this, please mail me (trevor.joyce [at] gmail.com) if you'd like to follow up.
