Help required James Mooney born County Derry or County Donegal

[dinkey]

According to the 1901 census James Mooney was age 65 Farmer living at 27 in Eskaheen (Kilderry, Donegal born County Donegal.

If I have found the right James Mooney on 1911 census he is now living at house 2 in Eskaheen Kilderry, Donegal age 76 but it says he was born County Derry.

I know from James marriage to Mary McBride 1864 Eskaheen Donegal that his father was Patrick Mooney.

I would love to find James birth c1836 to determine his mother and siblings but I do not know where to look.

Can anyone help me to get back a generation.

If you look at the entries on the page below

the sponsors at baptism are probably siblings. (Edward,Mary,Thomas).

Thank you for your reply and giving me the link to this page.

It would be great if I could confirm your guess that the sponsors of these Mooney christening were James's siblings.

Hi rathmore

Thanks for that link. I had the information about the marriage. It is apity that the birth registrations on Familysearch do not give the parents names.

I really appreciate you looking this information up for me.
