Dear Jonathan I was given a copy of the newspaper clipping for Ann Tierney, Windsor and Richmond Gazxette, I do not have the date it was in.,died 4 Oct 1895. Obituary Death of Mrs Tierney On Wednesday morning last, Mrs Tierney, an old and must respected resident, who has been suffering for a long time, passed away at the age of 74 years. Deceased was born in Ireland, and arrived in the colony in 1859, and during the greater part of her time in the colony (36 years) she had been a resident of this district. She had been lingering from some time, and her death was not unexpected. She leaves a family of two sons and two daughters living all of whom are natives of the district. The funeral left deceased's late residence at 2 o'clock on Thursday afternoon, and proceeded to St Matthews's RC Cemetery, Windsor, were the interment took place. The funeral was well attended and was conducted by Messrs Tompkinson and Primrose. Surviving children were - Ann Tierney married John Sly Susanna Tierney married John Ector Bowen William Tierney married Beatrice Nichols Michael John Tierney and Cecilia Ada Armstrong (my g grandparents) Other children - John Thomas Tierney born 31 Mar 1857, buried 9 Dec 1858, Windsor Alice Tierney born 22 Jul 1860, buried 31 Jun 1863, Windsor Thank you regards kerry >Thank you for your email regarding the TIERNEY / TEARNEY plots.
