Lynne, Instead I can tell you something about Bridget Noonans ancestors. The O Noonans / O Nuanains were originally the Native Irish O hIonmhaineains as they were descended from the Irish ChiefIonmhaineain / beloved. They were co - arbs of Tullylease and later on the Chiefs of Muskerry - Noonan. Their territory was around Cork in the Munster Province. Another Native Irish Sept/ branch were the O Neenans /O Naoidheanain /child who were from west Thomond / west Co. Clare who also anglicised to Noonan.
