I am researching the ancestors and descendants of Patrick Carney and Catherine Dooley, who were born in Ireland and emigrated from England to Detroit, Michigan between 1856 and 1860, and from there to Bay City, Michigan, by 1867. Patrick was born about March 17, 1826 in Kings County, Ireland, exact location unknown. His wife Catherine Dooley was born possibly in 1828. Patrick was a brickmason by trade. In addition, Patrick’s father may have been named Rudolph or Raymond Carney (both names are mentioned on documents, but come from third parties) and his mother was possibly named Margaret. Patrick may have had a brother named Michael who came to join him in Bay City, but this has not been verified. There is a Michael Carney in Bay City c.1868 who is also a brickmason. Patrick and Mary’s Children are as follows: Name, Born, Died Edward Carney Abt 1850 in England - Abt 1883 in Bay City Michigan Catherine Carney 1853 in England - Unknown Mary Carney 1856 in England – 1942 in Detroit, Michigan (Died as Mary Thompson) Rosalia Carney Abt 1858 – Died before 1867 Patrick J. Carney 1861 in Michigan – 1941 Lansing Michigan, buried in Bay City Michigan William L. Carney 1863 in Michigan – Unknown, Detroit Michigan area Francis "Frank" J. Carney Abt 1864 – Unknown, Detroit Michigan area Margaret A. Carney 1867 in Bay City, Michigan – Unknown, post 1941, location unknown Thomas J. Carney Abt 1871 in Bay City, Michigan - Unknown I have a lot of information on Patrick's descendants, of which I am one, but very little about his ancestors. Any connections will be welcomed.
