Wanda, as you may know, the Tagneys were originally from Ireland where the name was spelled Tangney but pronounced Tagney, so when they got to England or North America, the spelling was often changed to Tagney.My maternal grandfather, Daniel Maurice Tagney, was born in Boston, Massachusetts, in 1873, just after his parents arrived here from London.They were much later getting to England than your family (I think it was the late 1850s).
In Ireland, the Tangneys are a small clan from County Kerry.
