Anne's Mother?

[JillJ]

I am trying to help a friend discover who her 2 x g. grandmother was.  I have heard that Irish family history can be difficult but didn't realise quite how difficult! Please can someone help us?

Anne Noonan [Servant] married John Finn [Foundry Man], on 29 February 1876 at Nenagh Church, Nenagh, Co. Tipperary.  Anne's father is shown as being Jeremiah Noonan [Nailor] but the family suspect he could actually have been her step-father.  No details of her mother are given on the Civil Marriage Record.

We have a Church Baptism Record for Jeremiah Noonan, Roman Catholic, on 5 April 1835 at Nenagh, Co. Tipperary.  His parents were Maurice Noonan & Margaret Hehir.
 
Can anyone help by finding a baptism for Anne, probably in the 1850's, hopefully showing her mother's name, or even a marriage for Jeremiah Noonan around the same time?

Nenagh RC baptism records appear to go back to 1792 (with a few gaps):

They have been copied to the National Library in Dublin. www.nli.ie/en/parish-register.aspx   I am not aware that they are on line anywhere, so you might need to get someone to search for you.

Hi Elwyn,

Thanks for your prompt reply.  I can only hope some kind soul in Dublin volunteers their services, otherwise it would seem the only option is to pay a professional!

I think the Tipperary North section of the pay-website of the Irish Family History Foundation may have Nenagh RC records as one of their sources.. see www.rootsireland.ie  and List of Sources

I visited www.rootsireland.ie and found two baptisms for Anne Noonans in Nenagh, one in 1855, the other 1857, but unfortunately Jeremiah is not listed in the searches as the father for either, nor is there a marriage for him so I didn't buy any credits.  As Jeremiah is the only name we have which links to Anne this could well mean that Anne was illegitimate, as suspected by the family, but it leaves me facing [yet another] brick wall!
