Cunneen family
« on: Thursday 19 February 09 07:07 GMT (UK) »
 ::)Can anyone help me please?  My great great aunts, Bridget, Mary, Kate, Norah and Ann Cunneen came to Australia from Ennis in 1884 and '91.  Their parents Michael and Mary (nee Farmer) remained in Clare. (Certainly they didn't come to Australia.)
Can anyone help me with details of Michael and Mary?
Mary was possibly born 1842.
Thank you

Jeanette,
              I carried out a parent search on the IGI, the LDS genealogical site, wwwfamilysearch.com
It brought up three families in Co.Clare where the father is named as Michael Cunneen and the mothers as Mary Shea, Mary Fitzgerald and Mary Farmer. There are nine children named born between 1865 and 1880.

there are a few Cunneen entries listed on Grriffiths Valuation (mid 1800 c) - including 4 Michaels

also the Clare Library has a very good family history site at : http://www.clarelibrary.ie/

(thanks bodger  - I've forgotten most of my Irish since school days - and wish I hadn't. I just now remembered something about a story involving a rabbit - I think it was spelt 'Coinín' )
