Descendants of Noone family
My great grandmother Bridget born 1865-67 Rover ,County Sligo. Parents John and Jane. It is believed Jane was from County Roscommon and her maiden name Mullany.Parents were farmers.Bridget emigrated to Australia - Cooktown, north Queensland in October 1885. So brave to travel so far at such a young age. She does not appear to have travelled with any family member. From research it appears there may have been brothers and sisters in Ireland. Have located what is believed to be Bridget's parents in the 1901 Census. Residing Rover/Kilmactranny/Tirerrill/Sligo. Parents 75 and 65 years of age at time. 1911 Census does not reveal John Noone still living. There is a Jane Noone aged 75 years, a widow , listed as residing with Thomas and Eliza Deignan in House Number 15 in Rover Ballynashee, Sligo. Thomas Deignan 's occupation is listed as Farmer. A check of the Griffiths Valuation Records has John, James and Daniel Noone and Peter Deignan farming? adjoining areas of land Rover/Parish Kilmactranny/ Union of Boyle/ Barony of Tirerill/ County of Sligo. Landlord was Edward Frazer. Feel there are probably a number of relatives still residing in the Counties of Sligo, Roscommon and Mayo. Would like, so much, to make contact and perhaps learn more of the family history.
