My great grandfather was Jeremiah Delaney b. abt. 1840 Ballinakill, Laois who came over to Liverpool
where he married in 1870. They had 5 children, 3 of whom lived, these being Jeremiah b. 1872, Christina b. 1872 and Mary b. 1880 - all in Liverpool.
Christina b. 1872 was my grandmother. She married Christopher Reid b. 1872 Liverpool and so the Reid dynasty began.
During a visit to Ballinakill, back in 2003, and after speaking with Father Sean Conlon in Ballinakill, we discovered that our line of descent was as follows:-
James Delaney and Mary Brennan - children = Jeremiah and William
Jeremiah Delaney b. Jun 1822 and Margaret Cuddy b. 18?? who married in Jun 1822 Ballinakill
We also visited Denis Delaney and his wife Sadie in Camras, a lovely couple, and swapped information with Sadie about the family history. On meeting Denis, who was ill at the time, my sister and I were astonished at the striking likeness Denis had to our own dear Dad. In fact, it could have been out Dad sitting in that chair.
We also met the Delaney brothers from Delaney's pub in Bride Street, Ballinakill and found everybody to be very helpful and welcoming.
I would like to have contact, if possible, with my Delaney cousins still in Ballinakill in order to swap information about the family history which I've been working on for many years now if any are on this forum.
After my parents died we found a battered old photograph in the loft and I think if could be of our great grandfather, Jeremiah Delaney b. 1840 but am not sure.

Hello Pat, I've only managed to get back as far as 1800 with my Delaney side and there is definitely nobody named Finton Sinnott anywhere. Also, there are no Anna's either. With Delaney being a common surname it's been hard to follow and stay on track.
