Hello,
I am Amanda and I am the great, great grand daughter of William Denny born in 1862. William Denny's son Henry or Harry Denny arrived to Ellis Island in New York in 1924 and he married a woman named Mary. They had two sons, one named Edward Denny and another named Harry, and a daughter named Veronica. My grandfather is Edward Denny who married Frances Huesel in New York. They had 5 children, Deborah Denny(Kinsler), Denise Denny(Taylor), Edward Denny, Kevin Denny and John Denny. I am the daughter of Denise Denny (Taylor). I would like to know more information on the Denny family tree!

Hamilton st was a street of shops ,boarding houses & distillerys..the Denny's owned a grocery shop and distillery at this time and later a pub/bar..my brother inlaw told me once that (i think it was his granny)his granny left Belfast with some of the children and lived in the states for years leaving some of the children behind..he is off line for a while but will get back to you on that.

Hello,
I am so sorry it has taken so long for me to respond. For some reason the site will not allow me to respond to the PM. My uncle John Denny who is the grand child of Henry Denny said that this is our family! My aunt Ronny (Veronica) and uncle Harry who are the grand children of Henry actually went to Belfast to visit the pub and was actually able to go into the apartment because it was for rent at the time. I am pretty sure they talked with Father Aiden (I hope I am spelling this right) who I think was there great uncle. I would love any extra information you may have! I really wish we had photos. I find it interesting that you said that some children were left behind. Was this Henry's children? I get a little confused by the names sometimes. LOL I know that even though we live in the U.S. that the names of my aunts and uncles are a direct reflection of names in the history(John Denny, Keven Denny, Edward Denny, Francis Denny). I appreciate you getting in touch with me!

Hello I am very new on this board but am also looking for the Dennys. Is the William Denny mentioned above the son of Jeremiah Denny?
-
he was the son of Jeramiah..They lived on Hawthorn st ..and owned the pub the Hawthorn st.
-
Thank you for the prompt reply? Do you have a source record for William's birth by any chance? I think I am mixing up my Dennys :-) Or a list of his siblings?
-
Sorry my mistake .just checked my file.William was a cousin of Jeramiah ...the Denny's are my brother Inlaws family and I only have the census info on that branch....I know Jeramiah 's wife Elizabeth went to the states ...I think after his death in 1909.

So where does your William Denny fit in? Is the cousin of Jeremiah senior or junior in the Census information you kindly posted?
-
I will have to ask the family..they were aware of William a cousin in Hamilton st.

Hello,
I thought I should add some detail on this for you.
My grandfather was Jeremiah Denny, and married my grandmother Violet (Haslett) at some point around 1944, and my dad Francis born March'45. "Jeremiah" would be an unusual name and is obviously a family name passed down through a number of generations.
I picked this thread up doing a search on his uncle James, who was unfortunately killed in Oct 1918 in Belgium with the Royal Irish Fusiliers. James, we believe, was an uncle of my grandfather, and one of the sons of William, and interesting enough we know that my grandfather went to the same school St. Malachy's, as that of his uncle James.

Here is his gravestone in Belgium, as we pay respects on the 100 year anniversary of Armistice Day.
