Noonans of Tulla

[dragongirl]

Looking  for family of Mary Noonan  born Tulla 1841  moved to Wales married a Paul Donovan in Newport Gwent in 1860 came back to Ireland to have her first child Bridget in 1861,
 Paul on all Censuse just says Ireland for place of birth but family stories say they had a farm which was  taken over by the British government
         Really working in the dark any ideas gratefully recieved!! took 3 Censuses for enumerator to ask WHERE she was born and entered TOLLER County Care Assumed County Clare and Tulla any other thoughts would there be a Toller?

Hello dragongirl,

Tulla looks OK.

If the family completed the Census themselves they were probably lacking in literacy.

There were several Noonans occupying land Tulla at the time of the
Title Applotments in 1827 - Michael, Patt., James, Patt (may be the same Patt. as named earlier) and Widow Noonan.  Do you have any clue to the name of Mary's father?

While this was c. 14 years before Mary was born, any of these three (or 4) men could be her father, or grandfather.

Just looked at Griffiths for Tulla (c. 1855) and see only one Noonan - Patrick Noonan, living at Glendree.

Depending on which religion Mary was - if it was Roman Catholic - birth records exist going back to the very early 1800s.  You might like to write to/or ring the Parish Priest in Tulla and see if he can provide information on the Mary Noonan.

Good Luck

Good morning...I have Noonans from upper Tulla, Clare. My gggrandfather was Patt (Patrick) married to Bridget McDole ( McDowell). They had three daughters, Johanna, Bridget and Mary (Maria) and I believe they had 2 sons sons William and Michael. I was able to locate all birth records for the children but I am unable to locate Patt and Bridget at all

This is quite an old thread, from 2009, but if you post the dates of the children and where you found them someone may be able to help you find their parents marriage or explain why you can't.
