Looking for any information on my great grandfather Patrick Alfred COONEY. Born about 1837 - 1842. Father was John Cooney, born about 1800, mother Mary (possibly).
Patrick moved to England and was resident near Wantage in the 1860s where he married Mary A Ryley. They moved to London.
Any information very gratefully received!
I don't have a parish or much other detail apart from Cork / County Cork on the UK census records.
