Martin Dooner and Bridget Pillion

Hello Lorna,

Many church records can be found online between www.rootsireland.ie and www.irishgenealogy.ie.

However having said that, the records for County Clare are only now beginning to come online at rootsireland and there are very few as yet.

Perhaps you could get in touch with the Clare Heritage centre to see if they have any records pertaining to your ancestors.

Sorry that I can't be of help,

Anne

 Many Thanks Anne, Regards Lorna

Dear Lorna:

Are you assuming that Martin & Bridget (either set) are from Ogonnelloe or from King's County?

Let me know as I can have a look at Ogonnelloe for you.

Kind regards,

Jane.

Hi jane,

Once again many thanks,

The papers my great grandfather John Dooner had

when he immigrated to Australia, said that he was a native

of seven churches, Kings County, he was born in 1818,

the papers also state his mother, Bridget Pillion was dead,

I am not too sure where his father Martin Dooner was born,

I do know Martin re married a lady by the name of Bridget

Sheridan, Bridget Pillion died before 1841, sorry I dont have any

more information, I also know John Dooner answered an add in a paper

for workers bto come to Australia and the person who put the add in was A J Smith.

John arrived in Australia in 1841 aboard the James Mathieson. Regards Lorna
