I recently found Thomas Carney and his family in the 1901 Wales census residing in
Holywell, Flintshire. Thomas was my grandfather's (William Carney) oldest brother.
Both men were born in Liverpool, Lancashire, England. Thomas was born in 1866, Philip was
born in 1868, William in 1873 and John in 1879. William and John emigrated to the United
States in the early 1900s, lived and died in NYC. The parents of the four men were
Patrick Carney and Frances (Fanny) Delaney, both natives of Tipperary, Ireland.
Thomas married Frances Conroy on 22 May 1894 in Liverpool. They had a son, Thomas, born
in Bootle, Lancashire in 1897 and a daughter Winifred, born in Holywell, Flintshire on 24
November 1900. Thomas' occupation in the 1901 census was "Pawnbroker
Manager."
I hope to find any living descendants of Thomas and Frances Conroy Delaney who may still
live in Wales or elsewhere. If this strikes a chord, please contact me.
Thanks,
Jerry Coleman
