Apologies for delay in replying to your query but I have been in Spain for trhe past 4/5 weeks.
As regards the “Cooneys” in my family tree, I enclose herewith copy of report which summarises my connection. They originally came from Aughrim/Shillelagh/Arklow in County Wicklow in Ireland & emigrated to Australia late 1800s/ early 1900s and some are understood to be still living in Nambour? Queensland. If you see any connection or have any query etc please revert to me .
Kind regards
Mervyn Johnson
