Member Since: June 2018 Posts: 19 Send Message	Hi This might be a bit of a long shot. I'm looking for information on a Daniel Looney who was from Co. Cork or Co. Clare in Ireland. Possibly Ballincollig Co. Cork. He had a daughter Catherine Looney married name McKay. He died before 1872.. I'd be very grateful for any help on this. Francis
