Hi Wendy

My Grandmother Mary Gaffney went to live with your Great Grand Mother Elizabeth when both her parents died she was only 14.
I have put a post about the Gaffneys on, it is for William Gaffney who story has it was on Vaudeville, do you have any information about him? also I am in contact with Elizabeth Gaffneys Grand daughter who told me that the Gaffney Family emigrated to the USA but did not like it and came back to England and settled in Liverpool were she had 5 more children, Richard, William, Maria Anna, Christopher and Elizabeth

Thank you for your help the 1881 Census is the right Gaffney Family they did come back from USA and William was born in Liverpool but went back to the USA when an Adult, the paper I found a William Gaffney in was http://cdsun.library.cornell.edu/cgi-bin/cornell?a=d&d=CDS19171010.2.45.3#  the Act was Called"The Four Entertainers," a vaudeville act consisting of Lloyd A. Bailliet, Will- iam Renaud, William Gaffney and Jack. Shannon, This was from 1917 :-)

3 Brothers Richard 1867, William 1870 and Christopher1874 and 2 sisters Mary Anne 1873 and Elizabeth 1878 were Born in Liverpool The older Children were born in Dublin My Great Grandfather was born in 6 Fade Street Dublin in 1859. Elizabeths (1878 ) descendant told me that they migrated to America but did not like it there so come back to England and settled in Liverpool they did not have any dates. so it could be any time between 1862 (as Lewis was born in Dublin 1862) and 1867 as Richard the next child was born on 23rd June 1867 in Liverpool

Thanks

Hi I have just seen your post Michael Gaffney was my Great Grandfather and he was born in 6 Fade Street Dublin I have confirmed this as his mother was Mary Anne Kennedy and is listed on several baptism records for other children I have found that there were 8 Sons and 3 Daughters, what branch of the family are you from.   :)

Family History Beginners Board / William Gaffney, Vaudeville Act USA

My Great Grandfather Michael Gaffney born in Dublin in 1859 had a Brother who story has it was on Vaudeville, he had 7 brothers who were John, Henry, Hugo, Lewis, Richard, William Christopher.  We think it was William (Born in Liverpool 18/05/1870)who had a Vaudeville act. His Parents were Louis and Mary Anne Gaffney he also had 3 sisters.   I have found a newspaper report of a William Gaffney who was part of an Act but could anyone advise on how I could check if it is my great Uncle William Gaffney, We believe that the Family went to America before 1867 but came back to Liverpool.  We do not have any idea of when William went to America, or if any of the older Brothers stayed in America when the whole family went there before 1867, I am new to family history searching and would not know were to start in America

Thank you

Fran
