Johns surname!

[anotherhugh]

Hello, can anyone have a guess at what this mans last name is?

The digitised record suggests his name is Cearney, but Scotlands people does not recognise this man.

I got the full census, and it looks like something else!

If its any help, to question "where born" he answers "Ireland".

I appreciate any help.

Thanks.

CLARNEY? Certainly a name that can be found in Ireland in early 1900s.

I think it is Cearney. I have seen this name with all sorts of spellings, including with an initial K.

Could be either Cearney or Clarney but, on balance, I think it's Clarney as the e before the y is smaller than the letter after C.

Is it possible to scan a little more of the page that  includes a  lower case L. - e.g.. Ireland

I see Cearney.
