My great grandmother's name was Sara Tobin and greatgrandfather's name
was Michael Carney (Kearney, Karney). We understand that Michael owed
a hotel in the Newfoundland area and died quite young. Sara, we
understand, remarried. Michael and Sara had a daughter Marion who
married William (Bill) Roache (Roche, Roch) back around 1890 + -.
They were all from and around Newfoundland, St. Johns, Top Sail area.
Marion and Bill had children. One named Fredericka later known as
Ruby. The other children were Raymond, Rita, and Richard. (There was
another child born who died we think right after birth). Marion and
her children came to the U.S.A. around 1918 +- and settled in Spring
Valley, New York, U.S.A. Bill did not come. He died at age 45.
Marion had 2 sisters, we understand, named Stella and Rose. They came
also to the U.S.A and settled in the New York City area. One of them
had a daughter Laura. Anyone know anyone here? Thanks, Joan
