One son, Denis Guiney had a pub in Listowel, Co Kerry. and 6) Willie: died single in new York in 1917. I have posted messages that tie in with this one on the Murphy, Keane, Hickey, Lane, Ahern and O'Connor pages. Any follow-up info would be very much appreciated. I will be in Ireland from Feb. 17-March 14, 1999 doing research. Would love to meet some of my long lost and wealthy cousins. Maybe not in that order!
