Kathryn Feeney late 1800's - early 1900's

robinpow3 — 2012-05-21 05:43:58Z

I have a photo of Kathryn Feeney.
I don't have a date, but figure it's late 1800s.
The location was Mingo Junction, which is very close to Steubenville, Ohio.

I know she is related, to us, but just don't know how... yet. ;-)

Re: feeneys of kildare

JBowden432 — 2012-05-15 11:13:43Z

I believe my grandmother's parents were named Thomas and Bridget Feeney. My grandmother's name was Suzanne Feeney Traynor. I think Bridget's family name was Burke. Does this sound familar? I know my grandmother had a brother James and Patrick and a sister Margaret. I don't recall any other names. I am sure that there were other siblings.

Please contact me - I am very interested in finding out more.

Information on an Elizabeth Feeney needed.

v_hollisterjr — 2012-04-16 03:04:48Z

I am looking for information on an Elizabeth Feeney who married first a Joseph Mullen, in about 1894. Following Josephs death, the exact date which is unknown, she then married a John Hollister in 1923. Per her marriage record to John Hollister her parents were Alfred Feeney and Julia Curan. I have not been able to locate any census info for Elizabeth prior to 1900. Also to confuse the issue John Hollister remarried for the third time and per the marriage record Elizabeth died May 20, 1929. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am researching Thomas and Patrick Feeney (born 1840-43) in Sligo. They were in England from the early 1860s (Yorkshire- Hull and Howden). Their parents were Thomas and Mary. I need to know more about the family origins and am hopeful of information from other researchers. I have drawn a blank with parish registers. Patrick Feeney was my great-grandfather.

Re: Feeney/Temple of Virginia

Potsi56_1 — 2011-12-12 23:33:42Z

Wally,
I have lived in VA all my life, about 20 miles from Richmond now. My grandmother was Hester Feeney, b. 1895 Emerson NE. The 2nd oldest in the clan. I too loved my grandmother very much--she was also very beautiful, inside & out. She was very strong, but so sweet! I loved spending time with her one-on-one. She lived in Mechanicsville, and we attended the same church so we saw a good deal of her (I have 4 sisters & 1 brother--all but 1 right here in VA). She lived a long life, dying when I was 22. I'm sure she is a saint in heaven!
Your family is pretty spread out, from coast to coast! Do you see each other often?
The Temple Family genealogy site is huge! Looks like they've been here forever. I notified Park Temple of an error in the 1930 Richmond census, involving your grandmother & my mother (Joyce). They are both listed in Edward Enoch Feeney's household, but they were recorded as mother & daughter. He admitted that "relationship" had him quite stumped.
Well, that's all for now.

Wallace,

Wow, don't know where the time went!! Got busy with life I guess. I recently picked up this genealogy again... It does get confusing at times. Yes, since our grandparents were sisters, that makes us second cousins. Your dad died in Seattle---what brought him out there? Are you still in Key West?

Patrick,
No, but I can find out. I did meet here. She was married to James Feeney, who moved to the U.S. in the early part of the century. The James Feeney is my Mum's brother.

I can find out what I can James Feeney, Jr.'s, wife I am still in touch with. I will call her this week.

Take care,

Hi Trica
Also ment to say I sent a scan of a picrure take in Detroit to Robin some time ago to see if he could throw any light on it. I believe that one of the people in the picture is a Feeney and was wondering if you would like a copy of this for the same purpose.

Re: Feeney's Detroit

TriciaMcLaughlin — 2011-11-12 07:40:06Z

That is the Jim Feeney. He was my Mum's first cousin. He and my Aunt Bella had a son named Patrick also. I've copied the info.

Re: Feeney's Detroit

TriciaMcLaughlin — 2011-11-12 07:29:18Z

If it's the William Feeney, son of John and Susan Quigley, he was my uncle. If it is, feel free to write. My Mum had a cousin, Jim Feeney, who lived in Detroit and married a woman named Bella.

Re: Feeney's Cabry, Moville, Inishowen, Donegal.

TriciaMcLaughlin — 2011-11-12 07:25:27Z

John and Susan were my grandparents. If the William you are looking for is their son, he moved here in the early 1900s. My Mum was born in 1920, and he had already left Greenock at that time. As far as I know, he never married. He settled in Massachusetts, and he is buried in the same town I live in.

Let me know if this is the same William you are looking for.

Re: Feeney's Detroit

TriciaMcLaughlin — 2011-11-12 07:22:14Z

James Feeney of Detroit, if it's the same one, was my Mum's first cousin. I don't know about Willie going there (my Mum's brother), but it could be. I know Willie ended up in Massachusetts and is buried here. Jim Feeney married a woman named Bella, and they had one son named Patrick.

If any of this fits, let me know and I'll send further info.

Re: Feeney's Cabry, Moville, Inishowen, Donegal.

TriciaMcLaughlin — 2011-11-12 06:30:01Z

None of John's siblings came to America. The only ones that came to America were these children: James, Willie and Patricia.

Mary was the oldest (first born) of John and Susan, and one of her sons (Mary's) moved to NYC in the early 1950s, Gerard Feeney O'Neill.

Re: Feeney's Cabry, Moville, Inishowen, Donegal.

TriciaMcLaughlin — 2011-11-12 06:26:05Z

They were the parents of William Feeney, who was my uncle. My Mum, Patricia Feeney, was his sister. Willie moved here with James Feeney after WWI......by "here" I mean to Boston, Massachusetts. Willie never married. James Feeney married Mary Harrigan, from Drung, County Donegal.

My Grandparents were John Feeney and Susan Quigley Feeney. I'm the youngest child of Patricia Feeney McLaughlin.

I don't know... the thing is, I was adopted and recently found out who my birth mother is. She is now married to a Feeney and was dating him at the time I was born, so I am kind of making a leap here. I think my father is a Feeney, though.

Re: Feeney family Mundelein, IL

JBowden432 — 2011-09-06 23:00:47Z

My grandmother's (Suzanne Feeney Traynor)brother was James Feeney and I know he lived in Chicago. He worked on the railroad. My grandmother was born in Ireland around 1876. James Feeney was also born in ireland and I think he was a younger brother.

Is he related to your family?
Thanks

You should take a look at this website:

It tells you all you need to know and then you can start sweating. It is not easy in Ireland. If all our ancestors were Scots life would be a lot easier.

Thank you so much for your imput i do think they were Roman catholic and i really dont know what parish so i dont think i will ever get further back.

Thank you for taking your time on posting and i will check the links you have posted.

Thank you Zena

Re: Struggling on my Irish ancestors

elwynsoutter1 — 2011-08-17 20:34:12Z

I take it you think they may have married in Ireland and I assume they were Roman Catholic. Statutory recording of RC marriages only started in Ireland in 1864. So you won’t find a marriage certificate for them. You may find a record of their marriage in parish records but these are not all on-line. Ideally you really need to know their parish, and then you could check the parish records (Copies are kept in the National Library in Dublin and also PRONI, Belfast). Here’s a link with details of the surviving RC parish records:

www.irishtimes.com/ancestor/browse/counties/rcmaps/

Culvin doesn’t seem a very common name in Co Cavan. I can only see 2 in the county listed in Griffiths Valuation (1857). One is in Annagh parish and the other in Urney. If you have no other leads you could consider searching those parish records.

Hi Dot,
I have Feeney's in my family tree. My gg grandfather was Martin Feeney born 1834 on Norfolk Island as his father, Thomas Feeney, born Sligo, was a foot soldier with the Kings Regiment supervising convicts on the island. Martin's mother was Bridget "Mary". Martin married Isabella McFarlane in Welleington NSW Australia in 1856 and had 4 children. Two died at birth, or soon afterwards, Madeline appears to have not married but had a son George in 1883 (but no more info found) and Isabella born 1866 who married William Supple. Isabella is my direct descendant.Any more information would be greatly appreciated. Kind regards, Robyn
