Hello lists. I am searching for information on Bridget MOONEY, born circa 1834, in Ireland. The first place she is spotted is possibly in Lake County, Illinois, marrying a George MILLER in 1857 at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church. I am not sure if this is really her. In 1860, George and Bridget are found in Boston MA with son George. the birthplaces are listed as Kerry for George and Fermanagh for Bridget. In 1864, Bridget gave birth to my GGGrandfather, John Lewis Miller in Boston. I have researched marriage records in Boston and found no George Miller and Bridget Mooney. I did find the one in Illinois, and there are a large contingent of MOONEYs in Lake County and neighboring Cook County. I know they were in Boston later because that is where John MIller was born. The family is not found anywhere in the 1870 census. in 1880, they are in St. Louis. I am trying to do collateral research on the MOONEY family in Lake and Cook County IL to see if they are related to my Bridget. I have found that they may have been from County Monaghan, which shares a border with Fermanagh. I am having a hard time figuring why Bridget would be in Illinois in 1857, MA in 1860, missing in 1870, then St. Louis in 1880. Does anyone have info on these MOONEYS?
