Vic Birth Lookup Please - Thomas MOONEY b.1862
« on: Friday 19 February 10 13:08 GMT (UK) »
I have been unable to find Thomas's b/c & I have just realised that perhaps one of you can have success where I have not.
I have information taken from a family bible which records his birth as:
b.10 Aug 1862, Keilor, Vic.
His parents were James Mooney & Mary Cannon.
This post is related to "James Patrick Mooney" http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,429334.0.html

Dustyrover if you go back to the other thread you quoted above http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,429334.0.html you will find that Alison & Cando have already posted that he is not on the indexes, I have also checked myself & he is not there.

So, either his birth was never registered or if it was a parish registration it possibly may never have made it to the registars office to be recorded there are many early registrations not on the indexes.

I found a record of parish baptisms for St Augustine's RC Church for Keilor Plains. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~pobjoyoneill/Keilor/KEILBAPT.htm
I found 4 Mooney's with 3 having the parents of James & Mary Cannon/Canning. Catherine was born 13 Jan 1861. As she was probably the child born before Thomas (b.10 Aug 1862), I think I would like to obtain her b/c if possible as it may give some more details about the children.
Would someone be able to look up the details for me please.
Regards
Dustyrover

Repeating again from previous thread... these are the only Births registered in the VIC BDM indexes that you have a choice of purchasing to find more information on your family. None of the other Parish Baptism's above appear on the VIC BDM registered indexes except for Laurence 1859.

Dennis MOONEY b. 1852 Melbourne -parents James & Mary Roman Catholic Parish Pentridge [now Coburg] #6481

Bridget MOONEY b. 1853 Richmond -parents James MOONEY & Mary  CANNON Roman Catholic Parish : Melbourne & Geelong #46257

Charles MOONEY b. 1856 Melb -parents James MOONEY & Mary CAMERON  #679

Laurence MOONEY b. 1859 Keilor PL -parents James MOONEY & Mary CANNING #635
