Noonans of Tulla

[maxswan]

Hello I have a Catherine Noonan.The first we know of her is when she got married in Fremantle,Western Australia in 1857.To Daniel Martin whose wife had died 6 mths earlier leaving him with 3 small children.On the wedding cert. she has down that she was from Co.Clare and her father being a farmer. I have now found that Catherine Noonan was born 27 Nov 1830 in the Parish of CASTLETOWN-GEOGHAN  Co WESTMEATH R/C her parents were JOHN NOONAN and ANNE KEENEHAN    .  I was told that the Parish CASTLETOWN could be  HORSELEAP which is part of  the Parish of KILBRIDE, CLARA,CO OFFLAY now.  Because she was illiterate could she mean she was born Clara instead Co Clare?  Regards maxswan

That record is from the RC parish of Castletown - Geoghegan which is in County Westmeath.

Clara and Horseleap is a neighbouring Parish which straddles County Westmeath and County Offaly.

Clara is a townland and town in the Civil Parish of Kilbride

If your Catherine was from Clara you would expect to find her baptism in Clara and Houseleap RC parish and for her to say she was from Kings County.

As Catherine appears to have named the County she was from not the town or townland, its highly unlikely she was from either County Westmeath or County Offaly (called Kings County at the time).

You can see the County Clare RC parishes here

Unless you can narrow down where in Co.Clare she came from it may not be possible to find the correct Catherine, assuming her baptism even survives.

Same couple?

Looking at earlier and later pages to see if there are any more children to this couple would be a good idea, that would give a better idea when they may have married.

Since my first posting on Catherine Noonan on July 2009 I have found Catherine Noonan's info. in Latin in the Catholic Church records in Perth West. Aust. When she was  married in 1857.  Had her father as John Noonan and Mother as Anna Keenehan.  So when I saw the bap. cert. in Co Westmeath of a Catherine Noonan with the same parents name and about the same birth time as my Catherine.  I thought that could be my Catherine and on her wedding cert. she could of meant CLARA instead CO CLARE to the person who filled out the form.  Hoping someone might have children with the same parents name
