The Looney Family of Quartermire, Knockanalban, County Clare, Ireland are recorded in the earliest records in the Parish of Kilmurry-Ibrickane.
They are listed in the Tithe Applotment Books of 1826 and 1834 and the Valuation of Tenents in 1855 in the Townland of Knockanalban. The Looney family lived in a subdistrict of Knockanalban Townland called Quartermire. In the 1826 Tithe Applotment Books for Quartermire there is John Looney, William Looney, Daniel Looney, Michael Looney Sr., Michael Looney Jr. and widow of Thady Looney.
In the 1855 Valuation of Tenents there was a consolidation of farms into larger acreage and we have John Looney, William Looney and William Looney (Daniel) and Daniel Looney (Daniel) .
Salutation Kevin, I am applying for Irish citizenship, and Micheal Looney is the father of Thomas Looney who immigrated to America. My mother parents were both from CLARE, she was a Quinn, they met in New York at a Hibernian Dance. It has been exciting to find out about them. Keep writing and sharing.
