Noonans from Charleville

[treegirl]

Hi!

I wonder if anyone can help me?

I'm trying to track down my g grandfather's parents. James Noonan settled in Charleville where he married Elizabeth O'Riordan around 1815 and had a shop on the main street which is still there to this day.

They had 4 children, Michael, Seamus, Noreen and my grandfather, John (known as Jack ).

There is a family myth that he was in an orphanage in Dublin before coming down to County Cork but I'm not sure how true this is.

Having a nightmare trying to get anywhere with possible parents. Please help!

Just to clarify and because I'm an eejit.....

James NOONAN married Nora O'RIORDAN around 1915 NOT Elizabeth in 1815

Too many names and too much research - names and dates are blending into one

Does this change things?!

Thank you

a few details from Trade Directories for you to think about...

The surname seems to have been listed as Nunan - I dont dont see any spelt Noonan around Charlesville..

Pigots 1824 :

no Noonan/Nunan businesses listed in Charleville

 Theres a few Nunan entries around Cork City and county (including a James Nunan, Main-street, Clonakilty - Carpenter) but none near Charleville.

Slaters 1846 :

  Eliza Nunan , Main st, Charleville - Linen & Woolen Draper

  Denis Nunan, Broad st, Charleville - Butcher

Slaters 1870 :

 Daniel Nunan, Main st, Charleville - Baker

 Thomas Nunan, Main at, Charleville - Painters & Glazier

 William Nunan & Sons, Main st, Charleville - Cattle Dealers

Slaters 1881 :

  Daniel Nunan, Main st, Charleville - Baker

  Daniel Nunan  (& wholesale), Main st, Charleville - Grocer

 (Daniel also listed under the sections for Ironmongers & 
   Hardwaremen, Seed Merchants,  Tallow Chandler &
   Oil  merchant.)

  Thomas Nunan, Main st, Charleville - China, Glass &
   Earthenware Dealer

Slaters 1894 :

  Daniel Nunan, Charleville -  Grocer & Baker

Thanks for this Shane -

Perhaps it confirms James wasn't originally from Charleville.

Do your sources show any landowners/farmers? Wondered if you could check for any Noonans around Charleville in those professions?

Or could you check for O'Riordan/O'Gorman in Charleville itself? The shop wasn't originally in the Noonan name.

Thanks so much!

the older directories dont include many many of the farmers... but I'll have a look

for some reason no farmers are listed in the directories under Charleville from 1824 up to 1894 - seems to just be towns-people and businesses.

Other places I have looked at include long lists of farmers from about 1880, so I presume they are included under a nearby parish or district - I'll see if I can figure which entry the could be under..

Hi John -

The name Kavanagh is familiar to me - but cannot remember the details! Will speak to my Mum and Granny and get back to you!

Hi

Don't  know if this will help but you might like to look at the 1911 census which is now on line and it's free to search.

Here's the link.

Good Luck
