I have spent a small fortune on both Irish and Scottish websites trying to find out where and when Michael Tomney died. I have had research done via Armagh Ancestry and have used the online info on Irish Family History Foundation.
Here's what I know so far:
Michael Tomney (or Tomeny/Tomany/McAtamney) was born around 1830, possibly in Clonfeacle parish. His parents names - not yet confirmed are Michael and Anne (or Betty).
He married Helen McSorley in 1851 in Armagh, and they had at least 2 children born in Tynan parish, before moving to Scotland. They lived in Scotland until at least 1861, and returned to Ireland - possibly Mullinary in Armagh, where another child was born in March 1863. Wife Helen was listed as widowed in the Scottish 1871 census - where she was now living with the children and she remarried in Scotland in 1872.
So, Michael died somewhere between 1862 and 1871 - no record on any death in Scotland, and no record in Ireland after 1864.
Any suggestions where I can look further?
Thanks,
MArie
