iHi Keyreal. As you kmow I have been searching for James Carney. His fighting records show
he was born in Birmingham (2 datss ) 5 Nov 1856 died London 8 Sept 1941 and born 5 Nov
1857 died London 11 Sep 1941.He began boxing in 1878.The only birth cert I have obtained
shows he was born 20 Oct 1856 registered 24 Nov 1856. His parents are shown as Michael
Carney and Mary Roach Birmingham.The death cert I have shows he died 9 Sept 1941 in
Isleworth Brentford. His son was shown in attendance at the funeral as a James Carney of
Coventry. I have no record of a marriage. James senior is shown as a retired fancy goods
traveller ? strange.I have records of all his fights home and in USA, also details of his
time as a bodyguard to the millionaire George Alexander Baird. In the 1901 census he is
shown staying at the racing stables in Newmarket. I do not know if all these dates are
true as I am unable to find any other information before his birth and after his death.My
aim in this is t!
o establish a link with my ancestral family Grogan.I hope this may be of help to you.
Harry
