John Kenny, County Co. 1850+
John Kenny, soldier, "full age" married Honora Shanahan (19) in R.C. Chapel, Fermoy, Co. Cork on 16.7.1879, witnesses R. Dickenson & Ellen Greene.John's fa. was Thomas Kenny, tradesman, and Honora's fa. was Patrick Shanahan, labourer.The couple lived in Fermoy barracks.
They had my grandmother, Mary Ellen Kenny, DOB 8.8.1880 and a son, Michael Kenny, born 1882.Mary Ellen emigrated to Australia in 1901 and married a NZer, Robert Paine Thompson, in 1906.My mother Nora Thompson was born in 1907, followed by a son, John, and then another, Alexander.Mary Ellen Thompson died in 1916 after the birth of her last child.
Any connections out there?It would help if I knew John Kenny's regiment, but I don't.Is there a cheap and easy way of tracing this?
Thanks, Leith
