Hello, I am seeking information regarding the family of Timothy Sweeney. Timothy was born in County Cork, Ireland around around 1840. He married Ellen Courtney in Cardiff in 1866. They had at least one son named Edward Sweeney. He was born in Cardiff circa 1871. There may have been more children.
Edward emigrated to Taunton, Massachusetts, USA around 1889. He married Ellen Neville in Taunton in 1895. Edward and his wife traveled back to Ireland and Wales during the 1890's. I believe their son, James, was born in Wales around 1898. Edward died in 1901 in Taunton.
Does anyone have any information regarding this particular Sweeney family in Cardiff, Wales?
Any info would be greatly appreciated! :)

Yet you state Timothy and Ellen did not marry until 1865?
There is no Edward b 1871 Cardiff
No Edward with Timothy and Ellen in 1871 - by 1881 Ellen had died but there is no Edward with Timothy in 1881
I cannot find Edward 's marriage in Taunton 1895 - neither can I find James birth
Could you post where you have your information from and hopefully we can find further information for you

Hi Suz..
Here is the link for Edward's marriage record:
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-266-13035-83792-25?cc=1469062
His name was recorded as Timothy McSweeney in his death record....
Vol 516 page 380 Mass vital records 1841-1911 death
Timothy McSweeney death on November 11, 1901 in Taunton born in England to Timothy McSweeney and Ellen Courtney.
On one of the US Census in Taunton I believe it said that James was born in Cardiff..
Mary Sweeney was born in Ireland....US Census 1910.
Then I found the marriage record for Timothy and Ellen Courtney in the Wales BMD Index for 1866. I have ordered the actual certificate. Hopefully that will provide more info..
Thanks for your help!!
