Hi
I am spending a few days in Cork at the end of September/ beginning of October flights from Heathrow under £40 return.
It is my intention to visit cemeteries and take pictures, also Cobh to research the Kearney side of the family and hopefully start looking at the census returns.
If I can be of help to anyone, please let me know & I will try and do my best.
Bridget :D

What a great offer — thank you!
If you see any stones with Fennessy on them I would be really interested.
My great grandparents lived there (Cork city), sometime after 1854. She was Mary born c 1831 (? maiden name), I don't have a forename for him, though I have a photo of him, with a lock of his hair. Almost total brickwall!
I hope you have a wonderful holiday. I will get there myself one day but it's a long way from Brisbane!
Thanks, Rian.

Hi Anne,
My ancestors were from Cork - in the Fermoy area I believe. Have you ever come accross the surname GYNANE ? It's quite unusual. If you or anyone has info please post.

Bridget,
Don't believe this, haven't got round to my Dad's Irish roots til now..........
Kearney - from Cork ! ;D
Specifically one John Kearney (born Cork c1818 - according to census returns)
His father was a James Kearney (according to John's marriage certificate). Both men were tailors.
John married a Mary Ann Battaille in 1839 in Hoxton, Middlesex.
I realise that there are probably a host of Kearny/Kearneys but if you come across a John born c1818..........

hi
there are a few way I have seen Guinane spelt including guinnane Guinanne Gynan, and these have been people that are in my family tree ... my family were "Guinanes"
I see that you were looking for these family in the Cheshire area , in the 1901 UK census I have found Guinane's in Accrington lancs Salford lancs Bolton lancs one in yorkshire and a couple in London.
I dint know how far you have got with your searching this is a considerable amount of guinanes (including other variant spellings) that you can find in the Irish 1901 census.
I also search the Lancashire BDM (birth death marriages) it free and it give you a chance to search variants ,I believe there is a similar one for Cheshire

Bridget, if you visited cemeteries and took pictures and took down names, I'm sure findagrave.com would be very grateful for your picture uploads/name donations.

Dear Bridget - I am related to this John Kearney - my grandfather is his son Alfred. I have some good stuff on his wife Mary Anne Bataille. I now live in Ireland and would love to visit Cork especially as 200 anniversary of birth next year. Any info would be much appreciated regards Ken Percival
