James McKinney of Carrickfergus
Please help me to solve a long standing family mystery!
Has anyone looking through the 1930 US Census come across a James McKinney, who was born in Carrickfergus, Co. Antrim, Ireland, on 17 November 1884 (or thereabouts). His parents were David Legg McKinney (b. 1837) and Jane (nee Mackey, b. 1840s). He was my great uncle and 'disappeared' supposedly to make his fortune in the USA around 1910. He was definitely still alive in the mid 1920s, as he was left money in his father's will, and received it (no address supplied in legal documentation). He may not have been the McKinney you were looking for, but I would be delighted to find proof of where "my McKinney" lived (and eventually died). Also if he had any family -- perhaps this is unlikely, or else they might have tried to trace his roots in Ireland.
