    1. COONEY family in Cleveland in 1850s

    3. I'm hoping that perhaps one of the COONEY researchers can help me out. I just learned today that my gr gr grandmother was definitely Margaret COONEY and not Margaret Burns as I had thought for more than 20 years. I'm not exactly back to square one in my research, because I had never been able to locate any information on Margaret Burns. My gr gr grandfather was Miles GOLDRICK, born in Ireland in 1833. What is most curious is that his older brother Owen, b. 1824, was also married to a woman named Margaret COONEY. They were married in St. John Cathedral on May 29, 1851. I am now wondering if perhaps the two Margarets were cousins. I do not have a marriage record for Miles GOLDRICK and Margaret COONEY. However, her name is given on the baptismal certificates for 4 of their children recently obtained from the Diocese. Margaret COONEY who married Owen GOLDRICK was also known as Maria. She was born in Ireland about 1834. Margaret COONEY who married Miles GOLDRICK was born in Ireland about 1836. That's pretty much all I know about these women ... I'm hoping someone researching COONEYs in Cleveland can help me sort them out. Thanks for any help or advice you can provide. Janet Goldrick Friend
