Im hoping its mine. My brickwall is Hugh RONEY who died Feb 1839 in Whitehaven Cumberland England aged 47. He was killed in a pit disaster (he was a miner). I have no clues at to where he came from- his children all say on census returns they were born in Whitehaven (from circa 1820) I have searched for Hugh Roneys far and wide and have found this baptism record- its looking like a definate possibility and so I would like to learn more about the family, even if only to eliminate them. Parish/District of Saul and Ballee date of birth 21/03/1792 baptism21/03/1792 Hugh RONEY Roman Catholic father John RONEY mother Rose TEGGART witnesses Michael DORAN and Elizabeth TEGGART street Roneystown Townland Lecale Any thoughts welcome.
