Kerry / Re: Kearneys from Castleisland (Kilmurry)
« on: Saturday 27 August 11 02:08 BST (UK)  »
Hi Shelley,
I also had a look at my extended Kearney tree and can't find a James born in 1886. I agree with Amy that the Cecil seems to indicate a Protestant background. Or perhaps his mother's maiden name was Cecil? I did however find a record of a James Kearney b. Oct.-Dec.1886 in Kinsale. No other details were given. If this is your James he could have come from a very well to do branch of the Kearneys-details on ; http://www.landedestates.ie, but one where they had to change their name from Cuthbert to Kearney to inherit land from a James Kearney who died without heirs!

Hi Deb,

I've had a look through my records but unfortunately I can't find anything on your branch. Sorry!

Hi Amy,

        You said that your James was aquainted with Mary J. O Connor Shanaknock, Ballymacelligott, before they left Ireland. I believe this was because  the  Kearney family moved to Ballinknock, O Brennan, Ballymacelligott after they left Kilmurry. The 1901 Census has Catherine as a widow living in Ballinknock with  Margaret, John, Patrick and Bridget.
         I also agree with your theory that  the Margaret who married Patrick Kearney was James' mother-in-law. When registering their children she sometimes uses the surname Prendeville and sometimes Lyne. Do you know anything about the New Hampshire branch of the family?

Kerry / Re: Lochnan Margaret from kerry

Margaret Lochnan's parents were a David Lochnan and a Jane Connor. She was born on 28/1/1839.The name has been spelt as Lochnan, Lochnane, Laughlin, Loughlin and O' Loughlin down through the years and can be difficult to research.There is a record in the Tithe Applotments of about 1827, of a Bartholomew Loughnane of Annabeg sharing land with a John Lean.In the Griffith Valuation records of around 1850 a Bartholomew and Michael Loughlin shared the land. I think these were sons of the first Bartholomew who was married to Margaret Murphy.Would David have been another son which would account for him calling his daughter Margaret? I can trace Michael's descendants down to the present day, as I am connected to them from both my father's and mother's extended families and there is a member of the family  living in Anna at the moment.

There was an RIC Barracks just down the road in Spa village at the time, so he was probably working there and staying in Lassinagh House.

Hi,
It is definitely Lassinagh, The Spa. It was once a beautiful  property, now sadly in ruins. In the mid C19th. it was owned by John Day Stokes. In the early C20th. Oliver Robert Stokes lived there ,but it changed ownership soon after that. I live very near it and could probably find out more information on it if you were interested.
Regards,

Hi Amy,

I sent  a short reply to your posting re Killeentierna before I saw this message, so I apologise for repeating myself here. My mother was Kearney from Kilmurry and I have been trying to research that branch of my family. My grandfather, also James Kearney, was a first cousin of your great-grandfather, James J.There seems to have been about 9 children in their fathers' family;  Catherine, b. 1824, in Kilquane. She married Charles Donoghue of Kilmurry.
-Bridget, b.1827, in Kilquane.
-Patrick, b.1829. He possibly married a Margaret Prendiville or Lyne of -Ballygree, Killeentierna.
-Daniel,b.1832/33 approx.(my great-grandfather). He married Margaret Kelliher of Clounagh and lived in Kilmurry.
-Thomas, b.1836, in Kilmurry.
-James, your great-great-grandfather, who married Catherine Prendiville and also lived in Kilmurry.
-Mary, who married Pat Brosnan of Ballybeg, Killeentierna.
-Richard, b.1838 in Kilmurry, and
-Margaret, b.1841 in Kilmurry.
Their parents were James Kearney and Mary Keefe who got married in Castleisland in 1823.She was from Kilquane, a townland beside Kilmurry ,and it seems that they started married life there before moving to Kilmurry.According to the Tithe Applotment records of 1827 approx., James Kearney shared land worth £53 with Dan Keefe, Tim? Keefe and Denis Cullinane in Kilquane.
So it seems we are long lost cousins! I never knew your branch emigrated and am delighted to make the connection.
Kind Regards ,
Joan

Hi Amy,

Sorry, but I can't help with information on Slieveenagh, even though I also have McCarthy ancestors from near that area of Killeentierna.However, I was interested to see you have a Kearney, Kilmurry connection. My mother was Kearney from Kilmurry and I have done some research on that branch of my family tree. I might be able to fill some gaps for you and would be very interested in any information you might have on those that emigrated.

Kind regards,
Joan
