Hi Jan, I have an Ann Carney, born around 1855 but not sure where. She married my ggrandfather, William Mcmahon/Mahon, in 1876 at St Patricks RC church Wigan.

Hi Pat I have a Catherine Carney born about 1843 who married Peter France in 1861 at Tyldesley Chapel in Leigh and she says on the marriage certificate that her father's name was Edward and he is deceased. I wonder if your Ann Carney could be a sister of my Catherine, I think my Catherine's mother is Mary (as I found both Peter and Catherine living with Mary on the 1861 census) and they (Mary and Catherine) were born in Ireland (that tells us a lot). We also have to look under both spellings of CARNEY, KEARNEY which makes it even harder. Maybe we are doing the same family. Jan in Newcastle NSW Australia
