Re: [Bann Valley] Cooney Family

["Morrison Stewart" <morrisonstewart@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

John,
      I cannot help directly with your ancestors but I have found an Edward 
Maurice Cooney who married Mary McAloney in Garvagh Roman Catholic Church on 
14 Jan 1868. Garvagh is in the civil parish of Errigal in the District of 
Coleraine in Co Londonderry. The village of Vow in slightly to the North of 
Garvagh and on the other side of the River Bann. It is in the parish of 
Finvoy in the district of Ballymoney. I am sure someone from the Bann Valley 
Group will supply more information, they were very helpful with a query 
which I had.

Regards
Morrison Stewart
