KENNY - Sophia b.1810 Dublin
« on: Friday 01 April 16 02:20 BST (UK) »
Good morning,

I have tried, so far in vain, to find any Irish relatives of my 3x gt grandmother.

Her name was Sophia KENNY. English Censuses say she was born in Dublin in 1810.

At some point she came to England.

She was married in Liverpool to Giovanni BINI, it appears to have been recorded as Catholic marriage at St.Nicholas Liverpool on  23rd May, 1836. Their names were misspelt as John Bone/Bene and Sophia Kenney. One of the witnesses appears to be James Prazzoni.

Their first known child, Caroline, was born in Warwick Street, Manchester on 26th October 1838 (surname is given as BENI).

The second child Teresa was born in Liverpool, the third a boy, Angelo George, in Wolverhampton, The fourth and fifth, Sophia (jnr) and Austin were born in Sheffield where the family settled.

I have looked for George and Austin KENNYs in the hope that Angelo's middle name or Austin's first name was that of Sophia's father, but I've found nothing that I can definitely link to my Sophia.

Please can anyone help or advise?

Thanks in anticipation,

Michelle

Hi Eadaoin,

Thank you for the suggestion.

My great, great grandfather was Austin (Sophia's youngest child), although I vaguely remember seeing a baptism for Augustine (Austin) and I wondered whether they just had Latinised the name for the Catholic baptism. His son, my great grandfather, was Frederick Austin and the youngest brother (AKA Sophia's grandson) was given the first name of Austin.

I have found an Augustine Kenny in the Tithe Applotment Books in 1825, Knocklow, Fennagh, Carlow, but without seeing any family I have no clue whether he is a relative. I now wonder whether the English emunerator just put down Dublin because he'd heard of it, or because Sophia said she was from there?

Still puzzled, :/

Hi,
Very interesting thread. Sergent Albert George Pinder of Sheffield was my great grandfather (I have his medals and the original obituary cutting which you mention). I have photos of his sons Clifford & George and met his daughter Beatrice Sophia a few times . George (his son)  adopted a daughter but far as I know I am the only living descendant of Albert George Pinder.

See "Sheffield couple - where are they? - Please help!
I think most of the thread is under "Giovanni Bini"

Hi Dinah,

Wow this gets better and better, so we have another cousin!

I have photos of Fred BINI and William PINDER (born BINI), they would be your great grandfather's first cousin and eldest brother. I also have a copy of the obituary of Fred BINI, he served in the Hallamshire Rifles battalion, 1/4 York and Lancaster Regiment. I have Fred's medals from his service in S.Africa and WW1.

I'd love to share photos and stories.

Michelle :)
