Cooley of Cork
« on: Friday 06 February 15 17:38 GMT (UK) »
I'm stuck!  Looking to discover the name and more info. about my GGG-grandmother.  She would be the first wife of John Cooley, a printer apprenticed in Cork.  He was born in 1800.  Their daughter was Sarah E. Cooley born in Cork in 1829-1831.

John Cooley and family were Catholic.  He is shown in the 1841 and 1851 Census located in Hereford, England with his second wife and subsequent children with her.  Sarah is shown living with the family in the 1841 census, but between that time and 1849, she emigrated to the Utica-Rome area in New York State.  Shortly after the 1851 census, her father and his family followed and settled in the same area.     

I have contacted some historical/genealogical facilities in Cork looking for some mention of John or Sarah, but with no luck.  I'm looking for records of birth, marriage, his printer apprenticeship, religious involvement, or death and burial of his first wife, or remarriage to his second, Anna Davies.

Thanks for any help.      Katie
