Thank you for that aghadowey.
I wonder if I could still have a claim on the will after all these years considering that my great grandma [Mary Ann] got nothing. I know it was always felt that she was hard done by, but nobody ever challenged the will because Edward had told her she would be written out of it and we all assumed that he had made a new will.
 Never mind a claim I would settle for finding out about the mill itself as that seems to have disappeared from the record books and also about Mary Ann's mother Edward's first wife but she also seems to have disappeared.

My great grandma was Mary Ann Kinney although on the certificate she is down as Mariane Kenny
parents Mariane and Edward Kenny (miller) born at Carnbane Mill. 23/3/1856.
It would seem that Carnbane Mill has completely disappeared with no records or photographs.
Edwards full name was Edward Corry Kinney and he was also a farmer from Lisdrumgullion.
Edward remarried Elizabeth Liness 16/5/1867 and died Lisdrumgullion 11/3/1880. I have no information whatsoever about the mother of Mary Ann.
Mary Ann aged 17 married Henry Grant butcher aged 20 address Newry on 11/3/1874. Henry's father is shown as John Grant gardener and one of the witnesses was a David Grant. The wedding was at the Parish Church at Mullaglass. The first child of Henry and Mary Ann was registered in Co. Down. Henry and Mary Ann with son moved to Liverpool and Mary Ann died very young in 1898.
Can anyone throw any light on any of these or even Carnbane Mill please.

I'm trying to help someone with their family research but there isn't a lot to go on. The relative she is interested in is Joseph Greenwood born 1883 at Sedbergh/West Riding of Yorkshire.I think he had a middle name of Edwin. In the 1901 census he was living and working in Liverpool/Lancashire. From now on it is only guess work. He joined the British army and went to the Boer war, he was then in the South African Mounted Police and lived at Napal. He also had a mealie farm [I don't even know what that is] She also thinks he got married in S.A. and that is all she can tell me except that every year he sent money to his niece to bet on the Grand National.Can anyone tell me where to start looking for this information please.
