Carol, The SLINEY surname is associated with the Fishing Village of BALLYCOTTON (Ballycottin) in the Civil parish of CLOYNE in the PLU of Middleton. I can't help with any info prior to 1850 but can send you details from 1901 & 1911 Census. If that's any help. Slán tamall Brendan Sisk http://brensisk.tripod.com/
