hello to anyone who is interested,
some years ago, 1986, i paid a genealogist to research my family tree, some
information came to light which i have not pursued since that time due to my
heavy work/family commitments and financial constraints. I do have some
documentation in my loft, and i am about to move, so will at some time
unearth it and pass on to anyone who is interested. what i do recollect is
that the name comes from McCarney, MAC Carney and corrupted spellings,
dependent upon the area, may change the name. this could also be said for
MC Kearney, and so on.
I understand that the area of County Omagh, or County Mayo, County Cork were
mentioned and may be located near each other???? i have never checked this
out. What i do know is that some information came through about a woman
(named in the document as a possible relative ) found dead in her
cottage/hut ? pre 1600 with 100 irish coins (pounds?) sewn into her
mattress.
My own father has recently died and knew little of his family, they were all
tall over 6foot in height, black haired, dark brown eyes and very dark
skinned, very slim, almost asian looking. There are 2 families of Carney in
this area, and aparantly not related to each other, the other family being
black haired and blue eyed and within the past 35 years came directly from
Ireland.
good luck with your enquiries.

Not so far. My Mary CARNEY was from Clonoulty Parish, born May 1830
and
married a Mr. Dwyer either in Tipperary or the US. They ended up in Iowa.
I'll file your email in case anything comes up.
