Fermanagh / Re: KENNY family: Fermanagh to Gatineau, Quebec, Canada in1830.
« on: Sunday 06 May 18 18:52 BST (UK)  »
ABR Kenny is not from my Fernamagh (Methodist) Kenny line.

ABR likely came from another (Anglican) line who settled in Gouldburn, Carleton County, on the west side of Ottawa, Ontario. I have a chart of this Mark Kenny family, which includes references to the Scharfe family, if I remember correctly.

ABR was born in the Hintonburg district of Ottawa. They were entered into the 1901 census under the name "Keeny". His father was Robert, and his mother, Charlotte Scharfe. The family lived in the New Hintonburgh district in Ottawa, and the father was a lumberman. Lumbering was big in the Ottawa/Gaineau area in the 19th century.

if you dig around a bit in Google, you will find an excellent and extensive history of the 126th. There are a number of good photos of ABR Kenny.

Are you looking for a relative or records/details? Please advise as to where we are making progress, if any?

Both brothers went on to purchase farm land in upper Canada, Simply across the river from Aylmer in the townships of Gloucester and Cumberland in the province of Ontario. The Father of John ,Michael and Ann was Michael Kenny and Honora Madden. It is not yet known if they emmigrated to Canada or remained in Ireland. Much more research will be required on the irish roots.

Hi Taicheese:

Thank you for your inquiry.

I would be pleased to send you the Mark Kenny documentation. I will need a safe mailing address.

As to your problem with the Personal Message threshold, simply send two more posts, possibly giving us a little background on your line. It doesn't have to be much, but it should show the likely  connection. Then send me your mailing address via PM.

Until later,

Don.

Hi Sarah, John and All:

I'm still here and will attempt to get my contact data up to date asap.

The Mark Kenny documentation offer is good and I will follow up when I figure out what I'm to do regarding Personal Messages.

Thanks, Don.

Hi Billy, Garvary, Marc and All:

I'm pleased to see Garvary that you are a Kenny. I too feel that there might be a connection to Billy's and my families.

The Alice referred to in your last message is my gggrandmother, born about 1779 and emigrated to Canada. This was the record that opened up so much history for us. Billy's Alice is at least a generation younger. The Lettie baptised also came to Canada, married and is buried in southwestern Ontario.

Billy"s research program looks great and we will look forward to anything new.

Marc's Kennys do not seem to be connected at this point in our research, but we will keep working our lines, and who knows where we will be later on.

I am on vacation and on tour until October so will be a non-contributor for a while.

Thanks everyone.

Don.

Hi Marc and all:

I found the William Kenny (Kilkenny Co, Ireland – Anglican) documentation I received in 2001. It has an address stamp as follows:

(*) Moderator Note: name, address and telephone number of person removed in accordance with Rootscht policy. Please do not post such details

Mark Kenny married, first a Miss Reddy, then Elizabeth Hand. There were 2 sons and a daughter (Ann) by the first marriage. The second marriage produced 8 children, Mark, Wm, James, Thomas, Robert, Sarah, Jane and Lizzie.

I did not see any reference to New Brunswick, but it might be there.

The whole package is very interesting. For example, Mark Kenny (1844-1925) married Olivia Healey (1849-1926), a great granddaughter of Lady Ann Talbot, sister of Sir John Talbot, Nenagh, Tipperary, Ireland. Lady Ann eloped with Sir John’s overseer.

Send me a safe mailing address via Rootschat’s personal message system, and I will copy you. There are 17 full 8 ˝ x 14 pages with charts and notes.

If any other Kenny family Roots Chatter would like this documentation, I would be pleased to mail it to you under the same conditions, as getting this all on the internet could take me years.

Don.

Hi Marc:

Thank you for the posting. I'm sure glad you decided to 'give it a shot'.

Our paths do cross in the Carleton (Ottawa) Ontario area, but not likely in New Brunswick. Some years ago we were given a package that documented a Kenny family in the Goulbourn, Ontario area, and one of the names was Mark Kenny.

At that time I did not see any close connection to this Kenny family. Now, I’m not so sure.

Your contribution is wonderful stuff, and I will be digging out the details and getting back to the group after I review my documents.

I used the ‘Brideau Gibbs Kenny’ Family Tree on Ancestory.com to pinpoint your Kenny line and locations.

Until a little later,

Don.
