Yorkshire (West Riding) Lookup Requests / Re: McGivney family from Dewsbury, Yorkshire W Riding
« on: Thursday 20 March 14 17:14 GMT (UK)  »
Thanks so much!  I don't know the relationship exactly, but do know that Annie Kelly had some connection because when my GM and GGM (Mary) came to the US in 1905, Annie Kelly was listed.  I also remember hearing that name growing up, but never knew the connection.  This is awesome!  I am very grateful for the help.  I have never seen so many first and middle names that are the same interchanged so much!  It makes things a bit confusing ;)

Wow!  Thank you so much!  This is wonderful information.  I had no idea there were more children - there's not much information on them over here, and they didn't share very much family info.  Thanks again, and I'll let you know how the rest of the search goes  :)

Yorkshire (West Riding) Lookup Requests / McGivney family from Dewsbury, Yorkshire W Riding
« on: Thursday 20 March 14 04:44 GMT (UK)  »
Hi - am new to RootsChat and not sure I'm doing this right, but looking for information on my grandmother and her family.  Her name was Margaret M McGivney (b.1889, d. 1943).  She had a brother James (b. 1882, d. 1925), and a sister Mary (b. 1886, d.?) Their mother was Mary Malany (sp?) born 1859, died 1926.  I have very limited information on this side, and have not been able to verify or find much on Mary Malany - do not know the first name of her husband (McGivney) or where he was from.  All of them appear to have been born in Dewsbury, and died in the US.  Mary and her two daughters traveled to the US in 1905 (Port of Philadelphia) but Mary Malany was widowed at that time. James came to the US before they did. This is all I've been able to find so far. Thanks so much for your help!  Melinda from Florida

Hi everyone - I am new to searching the McGivney family and am not sure this is the right place to post as I'm also new to RootsChat.  Am looking for information on my grandmother Margaret M McGivney and her family.  I know she was born in 1889 (UK- Dewsbury, Yorkshire West Riding) and died in 1943 (US - Philadelphia, PA).  She had a brother James (b.1882/d.1925) and a sister Mary (b.1886).  Her mother was Mary (Malany?) - also born in the UK (1859), died in 1926 in the US.  This is where I'm hitting a brick wall.  I can't find any information on her husband, and am unsure about her last name...  I will also post a query in the UK forum.  Just wondering if any of this makes sense to anyone here. I remember hearing the surnames McLarnon and Dunn associated with this side as well.  Thanks so much!  Melinda from Florida
