Roneys of Whitehaven and elsewhere

[carolgriff]

Hi

I am still searching for where my Roneys came from Roneys and hope someone can help.

I know dad is Hugh Roney- preumably the one killed in William Pit disaster 1839.
Kids are
 Barney born circa 1820
Philip circa 1828 and
my Catherine circa 1830 in Queen street Whitehaven 1841.
I know they are siblings as i have all 3 marriage certs.

1851 census shows Catherine- now Lowther- has a sister Mary circa 1833 Cumberland.

Im thinking theres also a brother/relative Hugh Roney whose burial is listed on this board, no evidence though except he lived in same street as my lot were at 1841.
1841 Mar 21 Hugh Rooney of queen St, Whitehaven 35

I also suspect a sister Jane whos knocking about in Co Durham under her married name- no marriage record though.(maiden name on birth certs)

All ages are very vague as they vary from census to census.

If anyone can help me find out ideally who Hughs wife- kids mam was and where Hugh came from I would be thrilled.

me again

its just occured to me could the Hugh Roney who died 1841 be the dad of my Catherine Philip and Barney? Knowning how they guessed at ages not impossible?

Trouble is where is the death other than this site, could it be transcribed as Hugh Merney 1841

Carol - who is now totally in a turmoil:)

HELP!!!


Ive just been told no record of a Hugh Roney burial 1841 by Stockport GRO. Not even a Hugh Merney who I thought it might be when checking burials on ancestry.

Im gutted. They say its a rogue entry?

Is there any other way I can find if a record exists, and can I ask what JAC 374 means- this is a copy of an earlier response to someones Roney hunting. I really want to know who the informant was and what Hughs job was.

Im desperate, help please, he has to be one of mine living in Queen street

This is where I got the info from
Holy Trinity Whitehaven burials taken from JAC 374 I think

Have you not got Hugh's death cert? This will probably reveal wife's name.

Hi
I thought that also, but he died in the 1839 William pit disaster and the coroner was the informant so no clues theer.
Thanks anyway.

Have you not got the death cert for Hugh Roney 1st qtr Whitehaven 1839? This may show the address of Hugh and it may be the same as the one shown for Barneyetc on the 41 census.
I have a William Roney and Mary with their family in Workington on the 41 census they were from Ireland

Hi
Hugh Roney 1839 was at Banks Lane.
What intrigues me is that catherine Philip and Barney roney are all at Queen street 1841- later marriage certs show Hugh to be dad.
Could 1841 Hugh be a brother?
