Maloney family emigrated to the U.S. in 19th century.

Searching for family of Thomas Maloney, husband of Elizabeth Staunton Maloney, county Tipperary, parish believed to be Fummersfield, who left for the U.S. in 1832. Elizabeth and 2 children, Ann, born 1825, and Julia, born 1827, settled in the states of Illinois and Missouri, USA. Unsure when Thomas deceased, but was not listed on the US 1850 US census with Elizabeth. Also searching for Elizabeth Staunton's family, also from Tipperary. Thank you. Bonnie Owens, Illinois, USA.

Hi bonnie,

Thank you very much for your message. I hope that someone is able to assist you with this.

I did a search for Fummersfield but there is no parish of this name in Tipperary, or any other that sounds like it:

Update with better info on Anna Maloney & sister Julia Maloney, Anna born in 1825 in Limerick, Parish County East Clare, sister Julia born 1827. From U.S. census of 1840, emigrated to St. Louis. Missouri, with their grandmother, Elizabeth Staunton Maloney, in 1833. The girls' parents may have died in Limerick. Elizabeth born in 1776. Believe her husband's name was Thomas Maloney. The parents of the girls may have been born around the beginning of the 19th century. Anna Maloney married James Lewis in Missouri in 1847. She is my 3rd great grandmother.
