Hi, I realize that you posted this query in 2018 but I have only just spotted it. This is my family too, I am the grandaughter of Thomas and Julia Tunney and have done extensive work on the family tree, even visiting Mayo in 2005 and finding the area they lived in. I knew my grandparents very well and also Great Uncle Hubert. If you are still interested please reply and I will help you all I can.
Kind regards
