My G G GM Catherine Delaney did have siblings including John Delaney 1824 Patrick Delaney 1825 Michael Delaney 1827 James Delaney 1829 (G G GM Catherine Delaney 1835) and John Delaney 1838. As far as I can tell, the mother Catherine Kitty Cormac died sometime before 1844, because there is another marriage for an Andrew Delaney to an Ellen Kelly in 1844, with familiar witness names. I don't see any children though. Catherine reported on arrival in Australia 1855 (to live with her Tierney cousins) that her parents Andrew and Kitty were both dead. I have never found records of the burials of Andrew or Kitty. I just have to assume that some descendants are still in the general area of Brickanagh (Bricane) even now. I wish I knew. BTW, the spelling of Delaney is sometimes with the E and sometimes just Delany. Happy Holidays everyone. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
