Looking for any information on birthplace of Thoma F. Moroney. Born 1855 to Michael Moroney and Nora McMahon . Thomas emigrated to America in early 8170's landing in New York City, He married Mary McCormick ( from Toomevarra , Tipperary. in The Bronx NY. in 1873. They settled in Brooklyn NY and resided on Congress St. Thomas worked as a stevedore on Brooklyn waterfront . All available records list birthplace as Ireland - no parish nor county.
Jim:
Based on the two surnames, I'm sure Thomas came from Co. Clare. I searched on two subscription sites Roots Ireland and FindMyPast but was not able to find his baptismal record but I did find a baptismal record for a sister Ann.

Also, Roots Ireland did have a July 13 1836 marriage for a Michael Moroney and Nora McMahon at the Newmarket-on Fergus RC parish
The family likely moved to an area where the RC parish does not have records for the 1840/1850s.
The Clare County library is a good site for Genealogy research https://www.clarelibrary.ie/eolas/coclare/genealogy/genealog.htm
Let me know if you have any questions.

Again , Thank You for your help
Dear Jim.
I hope this message will work its way to you. I have been trying to contact you in over a variety of websites. Have left messages via Ancestry.com and believed I tired via Gedmatch as well. I have quite a bit of information on your Moroneys who hailed from Stonehall, Newmarket -on- Fergus and were related to the family of my Grandfather, Edward Ryan, of South Brooklyn, whose parents John Ryan and Annie McMahon also hailed from Newmarket. My mother remembered as a child meeting old Uncle Tom Marooney (as they pronounced it) who was blind and his daughter Mamie, as well as Mae Green who was the daughter of old Thomas's brother, Andrew Moroney, who was a policeman. Please get in touch as I would enjoy sharing information. My private email is erstewart@gmail.com I live in NYC.
Best Regards,
Ed Stewart

Thanks Roger. You're quite amazing in following up with emails. Our paths have crossed on this site before as we both tried to assist other inquiries. So thank you kindly for responding and I hope that I do indeed hear back from Jim. Besst, Ed
Hi Jim,
just confirming that you received the two emails I sent in response to your kind email. If you did not receive them, you might want to check your spam folder to see if for some reason they are being directed there, the 2nd email had a number of documents I think you would find of interest.
Regards, Ed Stewart
