Hello :-) Happy New Year
I am looking for information on Peader Kearney,
if there is any relatives or experts on his musical
works please could you contact me [PM]- this in
in connection with family tree research -
Cheers:
Mr.H.C

If information is sent by PM it does make it difficult for anyone trying to help figure out what's been found, etc. (although details of living people, email addresses, recent family details shouldn't be posted here so in those cases PM is best). Usually best to post on the boards, as it lets us know exactly what information has been sent and what is still required. It will also help others who come across this thread via a search engine - which just might bring a relative to help out!

Here's an interesting link Happy.
From a fellow Kearney researcher! :D

Hi HC
I have researched Peadar Kearney trying to make a connection to our family ;D
It is reputed that he is related in some way but as yet I have struggled to prove this
My OH's grandparents were a BOURKE and KEARNEY and it is to this family we were told there was a connection; this story was also passed to "newly aquired" cousins that we have recently come into contact with as well as through our own family.
This is some of what I have on Peadar's immediate family:
Father: John KEARNEY b. 1854 d. c1897 Collon, Co. Meath
Mother: Katie McGUINNESS b. 1860 d. c1903 from Dunleer, Co. Louth
Married in St. Patrick’s Church, Slane, Co. Meath on Oct 13 1881
Their children were:

JOHN Married MOLLY TERRETT
Saw reference in my research that they lived in Offaly but no further information
Possible marriage in 1920 in Mountmellick Apr-Jun V3 P417
John Richard KEARNEY to Mary Anne TERRETT but unconfirmed
Seamus de Burca gave papers that included a family tree to the National Library but I haven't had time to research this yet
I have further information on previous generations of Kearney but will need to seek out that paperwork
PM if there is something specific I'll look and see if I can help!

Just had a quick check on Peadar
Patrick Heeney wrote the music for the National Anthem
A book of his poetic works (18) were published in 1928 but an original handwritten book of 44 works (https://www.adams.ie/CEARNAIGH-KEARNEY-PEADAR-Rambling-Rhymes-A-manuscript-compilation-of-poems-and-verses-written-at-various-times-and-transcribed-into-this-wee-book-January-1928-by-Peadar-O-Ceanaigh-with-a-quotation-fro?view=lot_detail) was autioned last year.
Most famous works were The Old Woman (Glory O!), The Devils Crew, Michael Dwyer, Slan Libh, Three Coloured Ribbon, Whack Fol the Diddle O, Song of the Caman and many are available online to read (http://celtic-lyrics.com/artists/96.html)

Thanks MyLuck - H.C

I too am told, is related to the Great Peader. My link as far as I can work out is through the Hickey / Kearney Side. My little bit to add is:- John Kearney Born Jan 1854 Irish Street, Ardee - Died 1897 Collon, Co LOUTH!, His parents were Peter Kearney & Mary Quirke:- Siblings bap records as follows:-
Parish Baptised Surname First Name Address
Ardee 05-01-1854 Carney John Irish St
Collon 24-08-1855 Kearny Mary
Collon 12-07-1857 Kearny Richard
Collon 15-05-1859 Kearny Hugh
Collon 12-02-1863 Kearny Patk
Collon 11-03-1865 Kearney Thos
Collon 03-05-1867 Kearny Arthur (have found this as "ANN" bap 23 MAY 1867 also).
My GG Grandfather was Patrick Hickey B1840 D1879 Dunleer, Co Louth. His 1st wife was Anne Kearney B.1837 D1864. They had 3 children: Mary B1861, Ann B1863, John B 1864. There is a story that Patrick was not the best of men and there was a dispute over where Anne was to be buried. It is said she was for Mosstown, but ended up in Tallanstown. How to link Anne???
I also have Conlons in my other GGGp's who may be the link also.
Any help most welcome.
-
This is very interesting as one of my husband's second cousins that we located in the UK has Hickey connections but it will take me a bit of time to go through what's here to see where and how - her brother remembers his grandfather talking of the relationships but can't remember unfortunately exactly what was said.
When I get a few minutes I will try and contact the UK and go through what I have and come back to this!!
Another reason to tidy my research!
-
That would be great, lots of the elder generation saying that we are related, but I need to prove how!! :)

i am a bourke my father wroth peader biography the "soldiers song" and "My dear EVA" we grew up with the stories. My grand mother was his sister and her sister was the mother of brendan behan.
they came from off st stepens green and their father was a coach man . now can i help
-
I'd love to think so!
My OH's grandmother was a Bourke from Kilkenny
and his grandfather was a Kearney from Wicklow/South Dublin
A second cousin remembers conversations at home when he was a child talking about Peadar being related, he met Dominic Behan some years ago and when introduced Dominic referred to him as a cousin! and there are a few more stories and each have come from a different branch!
I have looked at both sides of the family and to date found no connection
I even looked at Peadar's family and found no connection
So if there is one it must be distant
I did find out that the pension records of Kathleen Kearney-Behan were confused with that of Kathleen Bourke-Kearney which I found amusing after all my searches!
Philip and Kathleen (Bourke) Kearney lived in Inchicore, Eccles Street and Drimnagh from the 1920s to 1960s
I'd love to work this out somehow - thanks for the offer
If you have posted three times here we can send a Private Message with more details
-
peter or peader had a number os sister one marry PJ Bourke his brothe was IN the royal dublin fusiliers Jimmy . Brendans mother was kathleen maiden name furlong /behan she married twice.
pm me so that i can see who i am talking to ?
-
post 3 lol
-
PM sent - thank you
FYI
Brendan Behan's mother who was Peadar's sister, was born Kathleen KEARNEY
Her parents were John KEARNEY 1854-1897 and Katie McGUINNESS 1860-c1907
She married Jack FURLONG 1885-1918 and then Stephen BEHAN 1891-1967
Another member of the KEARNEY family - Jimmy married Kathleen GILL
She became Mrs. Kathleen KEARNEY and was also confused with my OH's grandmother seemingly!
-
Has anyone come across an Ellen Kearney, born 1893, (father Terence Kearney, mother Margaret Fitzh...), from Drumcondra? The surname is spelt differently, sometimes Kearney, Carney, M'Carney or McCarney in official documents. Ellen married James Goulding in 1924. The Gouldings and the Behans were housepainters who seemed to all know each other well.
The reason I'm asking is that family lore (or wild rumour!) had it that Ellen was Peadar Kearney's sister. I don't see any evidence of that at all, but was wondering if they were cousins or something. Could her father Terence be a brother of John Kearney?
-
Re my earlier post, Terence Kearney was born in Co. Fermanagh - quite a distance from John Kearney's birthplace in Co. Louth!
-
Ellen may have been related but can't be a sister as her parents were Terence CARNEY/KEARNEY and Margaret FitzHENRY LINK (https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/birth_returns/births_1893/02284/1857122.pdf)
But she could still be related in some distant way - I still haven't found the link to my OH yet either
Peader KEARNEY was born Dec 12 1883 LINK (https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/birth_returns/births_1884/02703/1995279.pdf)
His marraige in 1911 to Eva May FLANAGAN LINK (https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/marriage_returns/marriages_1914/09849/5576391.pdf)
Father: John KEARNEY b. 1854 d. c1897 Collon, Co. Meath
Mother: Katie McGUINNESS b. 1860 d. c1903 from Dunleer, Co. Louth
They married in St. Patrick’s Church, Slane, Co. Meath on Oct 13 1881
-
Thank you for that myluck! I'm beginning to think that they aren't related at all or just distantly, and having the same surname is just a coincidence.
By the way, what does OH mean?
-
Apologies for acronym/jargon - Other Half! refers to partner, spouse, etc.
I also think in ours that it is distant however a second cousin said he knew the Behans in the 1950s and 1960s and when they met the greeting used was always "hello cuz"! Also independently families of that generation all believed that they were related. Anyway...
-
And there was me thinking OH was some genealogical abbreviation! Wonderful!!
Peadar Kearney, the Behans & Gouldings all knew each other, shared the same trade (housepainting) and similar political aspirations. With Ellen Kearney, her father is recorded as a labourer and later as a carpenter. It's very tempting to try and make connections, beyond the documented ones, but I think we can definitively say Ellen and Peadar are not siblings and probably not first cousins either!
Thank you myluck! for your time and assistance.
-
No problem
We found it interesting was when we located cousins in England that had emigrated in the 1940s and 1950s they also believed that there was a link to Peadar Kearney and had attempted to make the connection to him. I feel that they were possibly distant cousins a generation or two back meaning even more distant now!
If I locate anything I'll post for you
-
Hi everyone who has contributed to this . My mam is a grand niece of Peadar her mom Mary Ellen was the niece of Peadar and I am trying to locate more possible family for my mam and aunts if I can. The info given here helped me to get some real info for them . Unfortunately when my grand uncle Paddy left Birmingham UK he left behind all the letters etc he once had from his uncle they are now lost to us . My eldest aunt remembers Peadar visiting them at their home in Greek st . I would love to find out more if anyone can help - thank you

Is there any information about Eva Flanagan, who married Peadar Kearney? On their marriage registration, her address is 10 North George's Street. Who were her brothers and sisters and parents?
-
...so someone born Peter Kearney in 1883 was registered at death as Peadar O Cearnaigh in 1943.
Peadar O'Cearnaigh died 24 November 1942 at 25 Donoghue Street, Inchicore. His son was the informant.

In attempting to make a connection between our family and Peadar's I found out the following:
Eva Mary Flanagan
born Oct 13 1892 at 44 Bridgefoot Street
census 1901 at 13.3 James St, Ushers' Quay
census 1911 at 61.3 Thomas St, Merchants'' Quay
married Feb 15 1914 at 10 George's St
Died Sept 05 1956 25 O'Donoghue Street, Inchicore
She was the daughter of
Thomas O'FLANAGAN, a farrier with Guinness
(s/o Thomas O'FLANAGAN and Catherine ? of Drogheda)
bc 1850; d. Dec 06 1908
and
Julia McGARVEY, a milliner
(d/o James McGARVEY and Margaret BEGLIN)
bap Mar 04 1850 St Paul's Dublin; d. Mar 09 1912 61 Thomas Street
Thomas and Julia married on Nov 04 1877 in St Audeon's Church and their marriage record names their parents.
On the 1911 census there are five members of the family listed and Julia states she had nine children of whom six were alive.

8 1891 b. Apr 29 Bridget Mary; died Apr 29 1891 aged 3 weeks
9 1892 b. Dec 09 1897 James Anthony
I've never proven that elusive connection!

Here's Peadar Kearney's parents getting married, I think, in Slane (marriages are/were normally in the wife's homeplace) - John Kearney, trader from Dublin and Kate McGuinness of Higginstown; both of their parents are farmers https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/marriage_returns/marriages_1881/11019/8029162.pdf

@Myluck, I've failed to find John Kearney's death registration, and I can't see the Kearneys in Dominic/ck Street in 1911, can you help?
-
...and Kate McGuinness of Higginstown;
Higginstown townland in Slane civil parish.
https://www.townlands.ie/meath/upper-slane/slane/slane/higginstown/
-
John Furlong was born on 29 December 1885 (and registerd 1886) in 28 Gloucester Street, or Gloster Street as it was often spelled then.
Do you know which orphanage Kathleen and Margaret grew up in?
I can't find the Kearneys at all in the 1911 or 1901 censuses, except for Peadar in 1911. There's a Kate Kearney the right age living in Oldcastle, Co Meath in 1901 with a brother (he's a Kelly, but this doesn't necessarily exclude him; people remarried and their children had different surnames), but her children don't match the Kearneys we have; the same Kate Kearney is living in Oldcastle in 1911. She's listed as 'married' in both of these censuses.
-
I wonder if these Bourkes/Burghs/Burkes - De Burca in the 1911 census - are some of yours, @myluck -
http://census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Dublin/Rotunda/Gardiner_s_Place/31514/
In the household return, in Irish, their trades are given as Cáit (Kate) the Cork-born bean-an-tighe or woman of the house, and baintreabhach or widow; all the rest of the family are aontach - single; her eldest daughter Dun Laoghaire-born Áine or Anne (38) is múinteoir - teacher; Tomás/Thomas (26), also born in Dun Laoghaire, is a clerk with the London and North Western Railway Co; Daithí/David (25) is a second-rank civil service clerk in the Land Registry; Seaghan/John is a clerk in the Gas Company; Madoalín (18) is described as Inghean léigheann - perhaps a student? And two friends are present, Líle/Lily Ní Phleamóinn / Lily Fleming (17 1/2) Inghean léigheann, and Seaghan Ó Dhonnchadha, who's fear dlí or a barrister, and is 38; a cailín aimsire or housekeeper aged 21 is also present, not sure of the first name but maybe Síle, Ní Chártaigh Na Ghleann or McCarthy of the Glens - she's from Rush in north Co Dublin.
Damn, of course it's a student, she's using the feminine version of macléin, which is nowadays normally used for both sexes.
Ooops, missed a niece, Áine Ní Raidhsaigh (Anne Rice), she's 32 and is from Kerry, as are Líle and Seaghan.
-
In answer to your questions, where I can:
John KEARNEY (was from Collon, Co Meath originally)
He died on Dec 25 1897 in the Mater Hospital, Dublin aged 43
Group ID Number 4226793 –
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/deaths_returns/deaths_1897/05849/4657196.pdf
Kate KEARNEY
She died on May 23 1907 in the Rotunda Hospital in the presence of her son Peter (Peadar)
Her age given as 46, address as 38.1 Gloucester Street, an Insurance Collector’s widow.
Group ID 4909623 Dublin North - https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/deaths_returns/deaths_1907/05532/4550644.pdf
At the time of their marriage (1881) the addresses given would have been their then current residence.
The most probable baptism record for her found to date was on Sept 30 1859 in Slane
Parents shown as James McGUINNESS & Mary HICKEY (who married on Oct 04 1856 in Dunleer)
They had eight children as shown before plus Hugh, who died an infant, found since.
Hugh born July 07 1893 (registered as Unknown Kearney), died on Aug 24 1896.
1901 census returns are for
Kate KEARNEY
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/reels/nai003762764/
in house 28.5 in Summerhill (Mountjoy, Dublin)
She is shown with a Kate LEESON aged 49 and deaf, a visitor.
Kate LEESON is on the 1911 census at house 16.7 in Frederick Street, North (Rotunda, Dublin)
with her sister Bridget Hickey and both are shown as born in Drogheda.
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/reels/nai000072414/
The Hickey name could indicate that she was a relative of Kate McGuinness-Kearney.
Kate Leeson died on Dec 19 1925
People in institutions were shown as their initials only on census returns
I believe the KEARNEY children are in house 97.3 in Cabragh (Castleknock, Dublin)
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Dublin/Castleknock/Cabragh/1268764/
There are possible matches for Margaret Mary (MK as 13 or 14), Mary (MK as 11 or 13), Kathleen (KK as 9 or 12), and also the living boys - Patrick (PK as 13), John (JK as 11) and James (JK as 4 or 5).
It is difficult to definitively prove these initials match to their names without checking the specific institution records. Kathleen Behan referred to her time in Cabra in her life time and I believe this is the correct location for at least her and Margaret.
Proving these records is something I have not had time to do yet.
This is possibly Peter/Peadar KEARNEY on the 1901 census, mistranscribed as KEANNEY, at
house 42 in Upper Sackville Street (North City, Dublin) as a servant
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/reels/nai003776240/
He is on the 1911 census at house 46.3 in Corporation Buildings (North Dock, Dublin)
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/reels/nai000068479/
By the 1911 census all of the Kearney daughters are married and on the census returns as their married names.
Your Q? - I can't see the Kearneys in Dominic/ck Street in 1911, can you help?
It was the Bourke family (Margaret Kearney) who were living at house 10.2 in Dominick Street, Lower (Rotunda, Dublin) in 1911
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/reels/nai000090225/
Our Bourkes originated in Kilkenny - I don't believe that the family in Gardiner Place are related but I don;t rule anything out (or in) until it's proven! Thank you for the information.
-
Thank you, @myluck - I'd seen that entry for John Kearney but didn't think it was the right one, because the Crescent in Clontarf, home to Bram Stoker, was a rather classy address… and was he an insurance collector? The father's trade given on the marriage registration of Peadar Kearney and Eva Flanagan is unreadable (by me anyway). It might say 'grocer' - and the Dictionary of Irish Biography does describe Kearney pater as "grocer and businessman".
The house in Cabra is the notorious North Dublin Union (if you go into the "Household Return" below the census it gives you more information).
Good spot on the Keanney mistranscription - the census returns were transcribed in India, so sometimes the handwriting wasn't familiar to the transcribers.

Oh, by the way, 42 Upper Sackville Street, where Peadar Kearney was living and working in 1901, is listed as the Catholic Commercial Club in the 1904 Thom's Directory, at which time it was being run by John J Gartlan and William Hogg, hon secs.

7 Crescent Place in Clontarf was a small cottage that is still standing
On the 1901 census there is a family named McGuinness living on this road
Patrick (50) and his wife Anne (nee Byrne from birth records) (60) both born Co Meath with five children aged between 17 and 33 all born Dublin.
There is a marriage in Kells, Co Meath on Oct 16 1865 between a Patrick Maginnis and Anne Byrne but unfortunately their parents are not listed.
These may have been in-laws of John Kearney and the address from which he was admitted to hospital.
I have restarted my search! - thank you :)
