Searching for Moloney and Moore families, Waterford City, County Waterford
I’m searching for information on the family of my great grandmother Margaret Mary Josephine Moloney (b 3 Apr 1871 Broad St Waterford). Margaret migrated to Australia in 1888 telling descendants she had no family left in Ireland. Margaret married in Queensland in 1892, having 4 sons and 6 daughters. She died on 2 Sept 1918 Cunnamulla Queensland.
On Margaret’s BC her parents were John Moloney and Bridget formerly Moore. Margaret’s parents married after her birth, on 20 July 1875, St Patrick RC Chapel, Holy Trinity Parish, Waterford. John’s occupation was Stevedore. When he died (15 Feb 1883, Castle Street, Waterford), John was a Relieving Officer at the Waterford Workhouse.DC indicates his birth was about 1843. Bridget was the informant on the DC. Children of the marriage were Margaret, Mary (b 15 May 1876), Richard (b 6 Jun 1877 d 18 Sept 1877), John (b 16 Jul 1878 d 11 Oct 1893) and Patrick (b 18 Jan 1880 d 10 Aug 1880).
On John and Bridget’s marriage certificate, John’s father was Richard Moloney, farmer and Bridget’s father was Partick Moore, tailor. Some research indicates Bridget was baptised in Ferrybank, Slieverue parish 4 Jun 1848. However, I have not been able to find any further information on Richard or Patrick on Ancestry, Irish Genealogy.ie and Find My Past. I’d appreciate any help and guidance in locating any records on Richard Moloney or Patrick Moore and their families.
I’m also keen to locate death records of Bridget Moore and her daughter Mary to support family understanding that Margaret had no family left in Ireland. I’ve not been able to find any records on the abovementioned sites.
Many thanks for any assistance.
