Jeannie, this is great news, as it looks like we are related.
My direct line on the Loney side is my mum (maiden name Loney), gr-father Hugh Loney d-1978, gr-gr-father Hugh Loney d~1943, gr-gr-gr-father James Loney (born ~1867 with 7 siblings: Patrick, Margaret, Mary Ann, Dennis, Agnes, John), and finally my gr-gr-gr-gr-grandfather Denis Loney who married Nancy/Agnes McMullan (or McMillan?).
Do you have any further info?
