Kenny
« on: Monday 13 July 09 10:01 UTC (UK) »

I would like to find  any information on John Kenny or his daughter Fanny Kenny who was born about 1830 and died in Tasmania, Australia in 1875. In her obit it states she is the daughter of John Kenny, Lismore House, Earl's Court, County Galway, Ireland. If anyone can help with a birth for Fanny or any other info I would appreciate it.

regards Janine

I wonder could that be Eyrecourt Co. Galway, rather than Earl's Court

There seems to be a Lismore House near to Eyrecourt in Co. Galway, the surname Kenny is mentioned.

see this link from from landedestates.ie : http://www.rootschat.com/links/06p5/

The location might be assist with following up on parish records. Do you know which religion the Kenny family were ?

Wonder if 'Earl's Court' is Eyrecourt in Co. Galway? There's a Mrs. Susan Kenny, Lismore House listed!

Hey Guys,

What quick replies! This is a great lead. Fanny Kenny married a John Bailey and called her daughter Susan So the Mrs Susan Kenny is a real possiblity.  She was buried in the Anglican Church graveyard.

1911 census for Co. Galway is online (1901 coming later this year hopefully) and it might be useful to you later if you are able to find more information on Kenny family (16 Kennys listed under Eyrecourt DED- however, they seem to be shepherd or labourers Undecided).
