I am seeking information on Anna Kane or Keane, my gg grandmother. According to her death record, she was born in Ireland in 1833. Her parents were listed as Thomas and Margaret Kane. I believe she emigrated from Ireland to Sandisfield, Massachusetts in the early 1850's. She married Dennis Redding, also an Irish immigrant; both according to 1860 census were illiterate. This may be the reason her name was spelled Keane, while other relatives spelled it Kane. It is uncertain whether they married in the U.S. or Ireland. She died in Pittsfield, Mass. in 1925. They had four children. Sara and Mary never married and Dennis had three daughters--my mother and my two aunts; another daughter died during childhood. I have found two of her daughter's address books for the period 1908-1918. It includes the names and addresses of Kanes in New Jersey, England, Canada, and Germany. Any information on any of these people may help me find from where in Ireland Mary Kane immigrated to the States. The names and addresses and notations found in the address books are as follows:
James Kane, 179 Bank St., Newark, NJ
James Kane, GJ Railroad Office, McGill St., Montreal, Canada
Lance Corporal John Kane, Royal Seats, Room 6, Block 3, Remnbahn, Munster 2, Germany
Michael Kane, 147 Blue Lane, Walsall, England (died Nov 1908)
Patrick Kane, 59 Dudley St, Walsall, England (died Aug 20, 1909)
John & Martha Kane, Corner of Russell and Bridge Sts., Walsall, England (son of Patrick)
Mrs. Annie Kane Cartwright, 10 Green Lane, Walsall, England (Susan Kane, Mary Kane, Margaret Kane, Patrick Kane, and Michael Kane Jr. were listed below her. Notations were made that the three girsl were married and Patrick was blind)
I would guess that Michael and Patrick, the two deseased, were her brothers. James Kane from New Jersey may also have been a brother. Any information on any of the above would be of great help. Also any help on the Kane/Redding connection. Please contact me at bailey_j@hotmail.com
