Moloney family

ClareNewmarket Fergus (Clare)

Thanks to the 1926 Census I have discovered my great great grandparents John Moloney (father's name Denis) and Bridget Healy married in 1874 in RC Chapel in Newmarket. John died in 1902 and Bridget in 1914 in Rathfolan(d).

In the 1911 Census, Bridget is living with her step son Denis Moloney and I'm looking to see if anyone knows if there are Moloneys descended from this family still in the area.

I am visiting for the Kilrush Genealogy Conference and hope to visit Newmarket on Fergus tomorrow (12th October 2026).

In the 1926 Census Denis' nephew Thomas Moroney was living with him.

Census Record | The National Archives of Ireland (1926)

Thomas was the son of Catherine Moloney and Thomas Moroney born in 1902. I assume Denis was the brother of Catherine. Thomas' siblings were Michael 1899, Bridget 1901, Mary 1901, Catherine 1907, Winifred 1910.
