The Mooney Family

Hello,

My ancestor Judith Mooney was born in 1803 and bapt Jun 23 1803. Her bapt record says that Judith was born to Patrick Mooney and Catherine Walsh. She was bapt in the Parish of Ballenakill, Ballyroan, Abyleix and Knocgordegur, Dysart Galen.

She married Parick Worrel and had 6 children. 3 of them immgrated to the state of Wisconsin in the United States. All of their children were bapt in the parish of Camross. I have bapt records for the four older children, but not the two younger girls.

I donot know where Patrick and Judith were married and if they ever came to the united states. Are the churches they were bapt still standing. Any information you could give me would be of help. I can send all the information I have on the Worrels of Wisconsin, USA. There is a family story that their son, Willam Worrel was a horse jockey in Ireland and that some business men brought him to New York, USA to race horses. I have not found any information to prove this story. It is said that he fell off his horse and hurt his left arm. It was amputated and buried in New York. He did only have one arm.

Thanks so much to ever reads my message,

Theresa
