Hi
Thanks for the information. I still can't see a link between us but the extra info you found is very interesting.
Joseph Clooney baptized May 30, 1862..Parents: Michael Clooney & Mary Hayden.
I know that this Jospeh is my Great Great Grandfather. I have a copy of the baptism certificate. Not sure about the others though. Michael Mary and their children Joseph Annie and another Michael are listed in the English 1881 census living in Kirkdale in Lancashire. They had been living in England for at least 12 years as the youngest child (Michael) is stated as being born in Liverpool England.
I agree there must be a link somewhere but I can't see it yet.
Thanks
Sarah (an English cousin?)

Hi Sarah...I too am a descendant of the Clooneys who lived in Tullamore. Julie Jurenka, whom you have already corresponded with, and I are almost 100% sure that we are related and while your Michael and Joseph so far don't seem to be immediately connected to my Clooney family, chances are that all of us are connected somehow.
My ggrandmother was Mary Clooney b. 1831 Tullamore. Her parents were John Clooney & Mary Coffey. Siblings that I know of for sure and who came to America with her in the 1840/50s are: Bridget, Patrick, Margaret & Elizabeth. Other possible siblings that I'm unable to locate are James, John, Marcella (Mariella?), Thomas & Dennis. One sister, Catherine, married Joseph Wheelahan in Tullamore in 1854 and I think stayed there. Any of these folks sound familiar?
I commissioned a report from Ireland and while reviewing it yesterday I came across a Michael Clooney who may/may not be your Michael but in case he is here's a little info on him.
Tullamore RC Baptism Register 1819-1903:
Michael Clooney baptized Aug. 17, 1845..Parents: Thomas Clooney & Louisa Moor. They were also the parents of John Clooney baptized May 26, 1839 and Laurence Clooney Oct. 26, 1851. Laurence's mother's name is listed as "Elisa" Moore but could be Louisa.
Joseph Clooney baptized May 30, 1862..Parents: Michael Clooney & Mary Hayden.
Offaly Tithe Applotment Index c. 1820
Occupier: Michael Clooney...Townland: Mucklow... Parish: Lynally/Rahan
Civil Death Records 1864-1902
Michael Clooney d. Aug. 28, 1890...age 62
Hope this helps in some way.
