Hello, I think you are right in that Rennie is Freney/ Franey.
I have Martin Delaney married to Elizabeth Freney.
They had a son John Delaney (b. 1845?)
They also had a daughter Mary Delaney (b. 1853 in Newtown, Queen's County) married Richard Nash (b. 1853) in 1873 in Clonbrock, Laois. (Newtown & Clonbrock are in the same area as Crettyard and Doonane). They moved to Omoa Square in Cleland (sometimes noted as Shotts but that is the district - Cleland is the village), Scotland around 1901, with a large family.
Mary's birth and baptism have a witness as Mary Treacey and Mary Traney. I believe these are actually Freney/ Franey. You can see how things get confused!
So I believe your Eliza is sister of Mary Delaney?
Richard and Mary's daughter was Bridget Nash, and whom married a Delaney.
Her son was Scotland footballer Jimmy Delaney of Celtic, Manchester United, Aberdeen, Derry and Cork. His son was Patrick Delaney of Motherwell football club.
