Hi Shirley, I am looking for the Kenny family. My great-grandfather was married in Cork (he was in the Royal Artillery in the Brit. Army) in 1879 but my grandmother, when she married in Australia in 1906, indicated that he was an engineer in Dublin. I have no idea where he was born or when he died.

Hi Shirley, Thanks for your information. John Kenny married Honora Shanahan in Fermoy in 1879. Can you give me any information as to this name in this era in Ireland.
