Hello Appingirl,
A bit more information might help ;) When were these people in this area ? What are their birthdates ?
The only one I can find { that is anything like what you asked for } is
Bridget MARONEY d 1922 aged 84 Ballarat - James MARONEY and Mary QUINLIVAN # 11778
but Ballarat is a fair way from Koroit .
What other families are you looking for ? "any" is a bit vague ;D
Regards
Alison

Sorry I have not put enough information in this post. Will I finish the Bridget Moroney photo post and combine it with this one. I thought making the subject Koroit Moroney may get more interest. I will be more careful in future and put more detail. I forget how to complete a post, I will complete the former post and stay with this one if that is OK.
Thanks so much, sorry I am a bit vague but just starting out again on my search.

Sue the info you have given is them!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I feel. Thanks so much. I am a couple of hours from Koroit so a trip down there may be worth while.

Hi I am getting my act together here, this is the information I have on Moroney's will go through my Uncles notes and see if I can find more.
Thanks to you all for your replies, I would appreciate any more information. Below is original post under another post.
Hi I am looking for a photo of Bridget Moroney 1841-1922.
Father Michael Moroney Mother Mary Quinlan.
Bridget m Jeremiah Mahony Father John Mahoney Mother Johannah Fitzgerald.
They were married on 30/11/1867 at Tower Hill. They lived in Kirkstall for 16 years then moved to Cororooke.
I believe a brother Denis Morone and sister Mary MOroney came from LImerick with her and a nephew Denis. Another brother John remained in Irleland.
Any information would be very gratefully recieved. We have been looking for a photo of Bridget for many years.
Thanks so much.

Hi Appingirl, I too am looking for a Bridget Morony whose parents are Martin Morony and Kate Clancy. Martin and his daughters Ann 1841 -1929, and Bridget 1844 - ?
The three of them arrived in Geelong 1854 without Kate ( she may have died before they immigrated) Ann lived and married in Geelong before moving to Colac with her husband, Thomas Dunn,when Thomas died she moved back to Geelong and died there. We have nothing on Martin (born 1815 in County Clare )or Bridget after they landed. This has been a bugbear for some years, so if any chatters can help I'd be extremely thankful

Do you have Martin's parents names?
-
Sorry no. I only know his approx age from shipping records
and led me to believe he would have been born in 1815 and had been married to Kate Clancy but she didn't come out with him. His daughter Ann must have lived in Geelong before she married and her first 2 children were born here too, then they moved to Colac but Martin and Bridget must have lived here for some years but I have found no trace of either of them.What makes for comfusion is that one of Ann's sons (William ) is buried in Eastern Cemetery Geelong alongside a Julia Fuller who lived at the same boarding house with William. There is a Bridget Morony marr to Ralph Fuller but I can't connect Julia with them. This is one time the more you dig the more confusing it gets. It doesn't help that my husbands family wouldn't talk about ancestors.

Hi Appingirl,
There is an online Will/Probate listing other family members for Catherine Moroney that died on 19 October 1923, Koroit, age 36, Reg#15428. Catherine was the wife of Michael Joseph Moroney and the daughter of John Ryan and Ellen McCarthy.

Cheers,

Hi Appingirl Thank you for trying but I'm beginning to think this is a hopeless cause. Did you know there is a Martin Morony buried in front of the Catholic Chapel in the old section of East Cememtery in Geelong Unfortunately it is not mine Val

Hi Appingirl. I am a Mahoney from Coragulac/Cororooke and have relatives in Maffra. My great grandmother came from Tower Hill/Koroit. My Grandfather, Maurice Mahoney, was born in 1875. My grandmother Bridget was born in 1889. I am fairly sure her mother was Bridget Moroney. I can check. But I don't think they came to Cororooke so early. Jeremiah is a real family name for us. Perhaps you are related to my grandfather's brother's family. The branch in Maffra/Heyfield are certainly from my grandfather's brother. cheers

HI Allie yes I am a Gippsland Mahony born in Maffra, Michael Mahony's daughter lived in Trafalagar, we probably know each other I would suspect, have you had any luck with the Moroney's. clare xx

I have nothing on Martin's family except what I've already said. We can't even find a death for him. There have been a couple of marriages for a Martin, but the dates don't tally nor where he came from. We found a Bridget married to a Ralph Fuller that doesn't tally either but a son of Ann (her sister) is buried with a Julia Fuller that I can't match into the family which makes things very confusing.

I am also looking for information about Michael Moroney and Mary Quinlan of Thurles, Limerick, daughter Mary, married Thomas Ryan in 1862. Mary later emigrated to Brisbane following children who had already gone there. When Thomas died in 1895 she followed them bringing younger ones with here. I think Bridget must be Mary's sister? I think too that Mary's siblings or cousins may well have emigrated to Australia but not sure where..
Is that any help to anyone?
