MrSheps Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 Hi I am the great grandson of George Mooney. Don't know that much about him other than what I've read in "Sheffield Gang Wars" by J. P. Bean. Currently live in the south. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayjay Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 Do a search . I'm sure there was a thread on here not so long ago about gangs and there members. Wait till morning and I'm sure some of the other forumers will be more knowledgable on the subject. Stick around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texas Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 Come on you Saints! So what relation are you to Brian Mooney then, I knew him back in the 50's, a decent geezer if I remember right. There's another thread about your family, the Charlie Manning one, although the bit about Brian doing poetry could be a bit misleading because there IS a poet in Ireland called Brian Mooney already. Apart from Brian the only other Mooney I knew of was Jim, his brother. And going way back,(40's) a guy who lived on Pitsmoor Road with a bad nose injury. I was told he was called Mooney, I used to deliver a newspaper to him. Actually I'm a Southampton fan myself, are we going straight back up or what?

Bushbaby Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 Another of George's descendants was Tony Mooney, brought up on Parson Cross in the 50's and 60's. Very clever chap, used to be Headteacher at a catholic private school somewhere down south, until he had to resign because he was discovered to be an atheist.

Texas Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 Are Brian and Jim related somewhere along the way to an Albert Colley, cousins perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
