Can anyone help please? I am looking for my great grandfather Edward Meaney who I understand was born in Tipperary c.1847 and died at the aged of 34 in Birkenhead, Cheshire in 1881. His profession was a Coachman and he married a Catherine Ellis of Flintshire in Liverpool in 1875. They had 6 children all born in Birkenhead : Annie b1872; Edward John b1875; Margaret b1876; William Augustus b1879 and twins Johanna and Catherine b1880. Edward's father also came from Tipperary and his profession is given as a Car Proprietor. They were Roman Catholics and could have been born in the Cashel area. The family we understand had an interest in horses.
An Edward Meany leased a house and 5 acres of land at 23 Lalor's Lot in the town of Cashel in the parish of St John Baptist, Co.Tipperary and Edward Meany leased a house and small garden at 18d in the townland of Killurney in the civil parish of Temple-Etney, Co.Tipperary.
There is an Edmund Meany born 4.12.1816 Cashel, son of John Meany and Margaret Eustace. Sponsors Thomas Loyde and Mary Heney. Could this be our Edward's father?.
Brother of above is Patrick Meaney born 8.5.1819 Cashel, son of John Meany and Margaret Eustace sponsors Edmund Meany and Mary Luby.
Other children of John & Margaret Eustace 17.10.1809 John; 19.1.1811 Alice; 14.7.1812 Margaret; 19.10.1814 Judith.
There is also a birth recorded 23.10.1844 Ballybricken & Bohemore, Co.Limerick, Ireland (next county to Tipperary) Father Edmond Meany, address unknown, mother Margaret unknown, Roman Catholics. Edward and Catherine's first child christened Annie (could have been after Catherine's mother who was Ann and second girl was called Margaret (could have been named after Edward's mother Margaret if this is the correct birth register)
If anyone can help with the above I would be extremely grateful.
