Barry If you are looking in east Cork / west Waterford then the name is probably a mis spelling of Keniry or Kinery or Kiniry or even McHenery. All of those are recognised vaiations of the same name. I had family myself of those names nearby at about the right time. There are a lot of headstones at Dangandonovan http://www.sci.net.au/userpages/mgrogan/cork/dangandonovan.htm I have also been told there were Canary/Kinery families in Sandwaich and Randolph, Massachusetts fron the 1840s.
