James & Catherine Mooney

[newsue92]

I am looking for help to track down the deaths of my great grandparents. James (Joseph) Mooney was born 19th August 1859. His wife Catherine (Clara) was born 1867 in Dublin. In the 1901 & 1911 census they are living in Liverpool with their 4 sons. After that the trail goes cold. They were Catholic. I have a load of incorrect certificates, so any help would be appreciated.

There is a family tree on Ancestry which has  a James and Catherine Mooney with four sons. James Mooney (1859-1945) and Catherine (1867-1941) Both buried in Ford Cemetery, Liverpool. Sons - Matthew (1888-1955), Joseph (1890-1955), Thomas (1892-1952) James (1897-1937). Hope these are the right ones. Cheers

Thanks for that, it is probably mine, but I know the death dates are not accurate.

When you say ‘the trail goes cold’, do you mean for some/all the family or just James and Clara?

Do you have the sons’ marriages? Is James noted as deceased?

I have 4 sons, I know what happened to them, I have been in touch with one stem to see if they know, but no, they are as mystified. 1 stem dies out, 1 is my stem & the last one I have had no replies. 3 brothers stayed around Liverpool, my grandfather came to London.

Can you clarify - was he James Joseph Mooney or James known as Joseph? 

Same question re Catherine/Clara

1901 shows them as James & Catherine but in 1911 she is Clara K

You say you have a "load of incorrect certificates" but using a birthyear range 1857-1861 produces no deaths in Liverpool for a James Mooney & only one for Joseph which was 1943

Not in Noel Street after 1926 it seems
