Looking for any info on the NOONEY family
Hello,
I am trying to find my Irish roots! I am reaching out to the Westmeath county because I found a large number of Nooney's buried in this county. I'm hoping there may be some Nooney's left here that may be able to assist me. My 2x Great Grandfather, Thomas Nooney was born in Ireland approximately 1812 (based on U.S. census records). He arrived in the U.S. in 1846. He married Alice Flynn ( McElhone) 12 Apr 1850 in Necedah, Wisconsin. In the U.S. 1850 census Alice's4 year old son, William Flynn,is living with them. Unfortunately, I don't have a birth date and I can not locate the date or place of Thomas Nooney's death. The death certificate would give me this information as well as his parents names. At this point I would be content to locate any Nooney's in Ireland. I will be in Ireland from August 24th until Septemer 6th. Please reach out to me if you are descended from a Nooney family or know anything about the Nooney family. Thank you and I am very excited to be visiting Ireland!
************UPDATE!!!*****************
I just came across a baptismal record for a Thomas Nooney baptized 31 Jan 1812 in Collinstown Parish, Meath Diocese, Westmeath County. Parents are listed as Thomas and Eleanor. Can anyone tell me what church this may have taken place? It will be a Catholic church. Also, what cemetery would be used by Catholics in this area? I would like to visit the place where my ancestors lived and pay my respects to those that rest in Ireland! Thank you for any help you can provide!
Sincerely,
Judy Ritt
(Daughter of Eileen Nooney)
