Through his military records I've only just just disovered that my great
great grandfather Henry Carney was born in the parish of Aglish, Castlebar Co
Mayo in 1838. He enrolled as a volunteer in South Mayo Rifles Militia aged 21
Described as having 5ft 5 and a half inches, light grey eyes, fresh complexion
and occupation Labourer
Released on 6th December 1858 after paying 18s and 6d
Joined 15th Regiment of Foot at Westport in 1858
Married Jane McMAHONE in Dublin 2nd February 1871 in the Catholic Chapel of
St James Dublin. On his marriage certificate his fathers name looks very like
'Remegius' Carney.
I have no other information on him, siblings, mother, baptism etc
For more about him and his descendants see my website

I would be very interested to hear from anyone who has any connections to
him, or can tell me more about his family
