I have a reference in a family trip journal to Dublin, Edgeworthstown, County Longford of a meeting with a Jim, Kathleen and Mick Kenny. It states that my great uncle Frank Trimble's grandmother and Jim Kenny's mom were sisters. The sisters were Margaret Keenan and ??? Keenan. Margaret Keenan I assume was Jim Kenny's grandmother. There was also an allusion to a family tie to a Matt Clark. None of this may make sense to you, but our family, Trimble, came from County Longford, in 1883 when the Widow Ellen Twaddle Trimble left Ireland to avoid the Protestant persecution of my great grandfather who had converted to Catholicism. Robert and Alexander both converted and this apparently was a cause for concern at the time. They owned a farm in Edgeworthstown until 1870, sold it and moved out of Edgeworthstown in 1873. They came to the US in 1883 on the City of Richmond. My curiousity was peaked when I saw the Margaret Kenny mention and the McLoughlin name combined thought I would just write and see if there is any connect at all or if this is all mere coincidence.
