Biography

Jeremiah was born in 1878 or 1979.

He married Mary Murnane in 1903.

Mr Jeremiah Moloney, of Pirron Yallock, was married to Miss Murnane, second daughter of Mr P. Murnane, of Corunnun, at St. Mary's Church on Wednesday. The wedding caused quite a flutter of excitement, as both Parties are highly respected.^[1]

He passed away in 1937 or 1938. His gravestone says 1938. Findagrave memorial says 1937. There is a death registration for 1937 that could be his, I will put it below, but as the two birth records below show, there were two Jeremiah Moloneys born around the same time in Colac, and I don't know his parents'names, so I can't be sure its the right one, and as the death year on the gravestone is 1938, it could be the wrong death record. Does anyone else have any family info that can help?

There are two possible birth records in the years 1878 and 1879, I can't say for sure which is the right one yet, as the findagrave info may not be accurate, there is no gravestone photo yet, but probably the first one below.
