Hello my name is Pauline Carney ,
My mother recently passed away, My father a number of years ago , when going through some
belongings I came across some birth , marriage records ,
And triggered my search into my family history if some one knows of any of the following
details it would be a great help.
My father was Kevin Carney of lower Kersall, Manchester.
His father was Thomas Carney, Born in 1888 in Scotland .
his birth certificate shows as Thomas Cairney , this was later changed to Carney . (I do
not know reason ) I have a war badge for him dated 1914 his station was cork.
In 1930 , he married my grand mother May Shawcross in glossop,
They somehow ended up in Manchester
Thomas parents were Thomas & Ellen Cairney. This is all I know at present.
His marriage certificate says he was widower at 32 I think
