My Trainor's lived in Cumberland in the whitehaven area.
William Trainor and his wife Catherine with their children. They were there in the 1881 and 1891 census but then moved to the middlesbrough area.

I have Whitehaven Trainors who were mostly stone masons (but no William).
I have a Patrick Coan who married Elizabeth Convery in 1901.
I have a Ruth Donaghy/Donacky who married a William Dockerty around 1877.

Hello
I have Esther Trainor born approx 1846, married John Convery 1866 in Whitehaven, died 1893 Whitehaven, I think that she is daughter of a John Trainor. Any connections?

It sounds like there could be a connection.
I have John Trainor (1811 Ireland) married Elizabeth Straney (1817 Arrowthwaite) on 17 Nov 1837 Arrowthwaite (I have MCert).

Patrick 1838-1898 married Julia Ann Keeler
Hugh 1840 married Jane McCormick
Esther 1845
Michael 1846
Thomas 1852-1889 married Mary Todd
Eleanor 29 Aug 1855-1920 married Robert Denwood (my gg-gparents)

Hi Frances,
Apology for delayed response but only recently spotted your message, and it has taken me a little time to find some notes.
I have a Convery branch (perhaps twig is better) on my tree; namely Joseph Convery [b.1818 Maryport] who married my relative Mary McCourtie at Cockermouth in 1848.
I have a 'little' information about a Hewetson/McCourtie/Convery family group who migrated from Cumberland to Liverpool in the mid 1800s and also info on 3 Convery death's in Liverpool if of any interest.

Hi Frances,
I have just joined rootschat and found your message from some time ago.
I am descended from Thomas Convery and Eliza Doran through their daughter Sarah Ann who married Daniel Brannon/Branney.
-
Hello
Which one of Sarah's children are you descended from? I have had e mail contact with people from this line. How far back have you got looking for Converys?
-
My Great Grandmother was Eliza Brannon/Branney, born 1881. She married Thomas Miller and later migrated to Australia. I haven't got back very far on the Convery side, I'm afraid. Sarah's father was Thomas, born abt. 1822 in Derry, and his father was Andrew. I haven't had any luck with Irish records at all. Trying to research from Australia makes it all the more difficult I think.
Sarah's mother Eliza Doran was born abt. 1822 (baptised 13 Jan 1822) Kirk German, Isle of Man. Her parents were Patrick Doran and Margaret Cain.
-
Hello
I got as far as you did in looking up Converys. I am from Sarah's older brother, John who died in Whitehaven in 1878.
There is a photo of Eliza and her family on ancestry, did you put that on or is that another descendent?
-
I gave a copy of the photo and a lot of information to the person who put the tree online. I didn't know she was putting it on ancestry when I gave it to her. Some of the data on the tree doesn't match what I have.
