Canny from Glenamaddy Galway

mazae — 2012-02-21 12:30:45Z

I am trying to find members of my son-in-law's family who are descendants of Patrick Canny and his wife Honoria Hussey of Glenamaddy Galway.

Patrick and Honoria had about 13 children - my son-in-law's grandfather was their son Thomas James, who was born in 1919. He came to England with 2 of his brothers (Edward and - probably - Patrick) when he was about 13. Thomas died in 1972.

Two of his sisters, Mary and Margaret emigrated to New York and had families there.

Does anyone know anything more about this family?
In particular does anyone know which of the family was living in Barna Cottage, Glenamaddy in the 1950s?

Hi Margaret,

I'm sure you and I are related. I've been to Clonbur and met most of the Cann(e)y clan.

I can get you the Canny or Canney family Tree.

I love in northern Virgina 9just outside Washington DC)

Send me e mail at edmurphy117@yahoo.com or ed@fmi.cc

My website is http://fmi.cc It leaves much to be desired, but you'll learn a little more about me.

You might also be interested in a story I wrote about my (our?) cousin, Julia Canny (aka Sister Saint Isaac Joques), who survived the atomic bomb attack on 6 August 1945. I can get you a print copy, but in the meantime, you can read the on line version of the Irish Survivor of Hiroshima story at http://irishamericanstoryproject.com/?p=110

Hope to hear from you.

Re: Stephen Canny, Clonbur

cclark16_1 — 2008-11-29 06:30:50Z

I found your message as I was visiting a Clonbur site. I, too, have a Clonbur and Pittsburgh connection. My grandmother, Bridget Alice O'Hara, was born in Clonbur about 1882. She told me they shopped in Fair Hill. She told me about going to school there and learning to write script. Her mother carried her piggy back to school sometimes. Her mother was Catherine Tougher O'Hara...married to John O'Hara. He traveled to America to earn money to bring the family over. Sadly, he was struck by a train in Baltimore and died. (To confuse the issue, his name was listed as Michael on Catherine Tougher's death certificate.) My grandmother told me her faather was buried in Tourmakeady. Catherine Tougher then came to America with her older daughter and worked at the William Penn Hotel in Pittsburgh. They saved money for two years to bring my grandmother and her two older brothers, Patrick and Peter, to America. My grandmother was 7 when she arrived. Apparently, family looked after the three children while their mother was in America. So, I know I must have relatives in your area. I thought, after reading your post, that the Clonbur/Pittsburgh connection was interesting. I've always wanted to research the family, but I understand the church that had the records burned and many records were lost. The remaining records are with another Catholic Church in the area.

Re: Canny Roots in Southeastern Ohio

kemwild — 2008-07-12 05:01:09Z

Our Great Grandmother Almira Jane Canny Beckley's brother went to Iowa. Her parents were John and Eliza (Thompson) Canny from Vinton County, OH. John's parents were George and Mary (Bowman) Canny. Are these connected to your Canny's? Do you have any information on the generations before these?

Re: Stephen Canny, Clonbur

gr8twh — 2008-05-07 01:59:26Z

Mr. Canny,

I am just wondering if it possible we could be related.

My great-grandmother was Bridget Canny, daughter of Honor Coyne and John Canny bothe of Clonbur. Bridget married Stephen O'Day settled in Pittsburgh Pa. They had 4 kids. John, twins Mary and Nora, and the baby Julia.

Nora is my grandmother. I hope this is not an intrusion. I am trying to put the pieces of ths family tree together for my nieces and nephew. As well as my mother Nora's youngest child with her husband John Stefher, Carol Ann.

Any information would be most warmly welcomed.

Thank you,
Leslie

mcourteman — 2007-03-26 14:57:07Z

Sorry to be so long answering. I am working out of town so don't have access to my papers, but most of the info that I have on George and family was from research originally done by the late Douglas Canny. I don't have any notation in my database about the census records,so may not have personally checked them. I can tell you the Douglas was never able to discover who George Sr's wife was, but did have suspicions that his parents were Joseph Canny and Rebecca Brown and that at the time of his untimely death he was working on connecting George back to the New England Canney family.

Re: John Eliza Ann

bsandeberg — 2007-02-15 19:07:02Z

I am researching the George Canny, Sr family. Can you tell me the sources you used to determine George's birth year and birth place? In the 1830 census George Jr. had an elderly man and woman living with him. I wonder if those were his parents.

Re: John Eliza Ann

mcourteman — 2006-09-17 11:59:26Z

I just came across this old message. John Canny b. 1812/13 wa the s/o George Canny, Jr and Mary Bowman. George Canny, Jr. b. abt. 1786 in PA d. Clinton Co, OH. His father was George Canny b. abt. 1756 also in PA. The elder Geroge Canny settled in Athens Co. OH before 1800.

Hi Cousin! I am a descendant of George Canny through daughter Roseanna m. John Holdren. Douglas and I were in close contact before his untimely death, have many of his notes from letters he sent, would love to know what you have found.

Frank Canny

bsandeberg — 2006-06-16 17:49:06Z

I am looking for the family members of Frank (Francis) Canny and his wife, Mary. Frank was born to Lydia Wardell and David Maylon Canny on Oct 23, 1886 in Jasper County, IL. He lived at 719 Hickory Street, Scranton, PA in 1942 and worked in the Engineer Dept. of the railroad.

MichaelBeckley — 2004-04-04 17:58:29Z

My great grandmother Almira Jane Canny Beckley was the daughter of John Canny and Eliza Thompson, born mid 1840's In Athens County, Ohio. She would wed Samuel Beckley and primarily live in eastern Vinton County, Ohio, buried about 1917 at Temple Cemetery in nearby Columbia Twp, Meigs County, Ohio.

I've seen the internet postings taking the Canny's back through my John to George Jr and Mary Bowman to George Senior(born in Pa and died in Athens County, Ohio).

Where does the connection go back in time from there to Ireland? Thanks, Mike at msb@core.com
