Jim,
Thank you for your information, my husband Is your first cousin, son of James your father's brother. We have copies of some photo's your father sent to his brother Walter in Blackpool, they are very interesting especially the horses , we are puzzled by one, shows Mark in a white coat outside The Fusilliers Cafe, any idea where that was? If you would like us to email copies let me know. I did have a post from Andrew, I replied but I don't think he saw it.
With best wishes to you and the family,
Jan and Ron Snee (Canada)

Mark was my father, sadly passed away in 1989 aged 81. Mark as a 15 year old moved from sheffield to newmarket to train as a jockey. Due to eventual weight problems he was approached by lord rosebery to move to his stud in mentmore, near leighton buzzard, bedfordshire. There he assumed the position of stallion man looking after a problem horse named Miracle.
Mark married a local business woman, my mother winifred and had three sons, matthew, myself and my younger brother jonathan.
hope this is of use. re his father, i do have a photograph.

Hi Maryann,
I think I am a relative of yours, descended from James Marion Snee, brother of your grandfather, Michael. I know many of the relatives from Dorothy's family (your father, Robert's sister).
I am trying to trace back our family tree. I think that Michael, James and Luke had another, brother, Thomas, who did not survive to adulthood. Do you know his birth or death date?
Do you know the birth/death dates/places for Michael's wife, Mary May, or her parents, Michael May and Bridget Marren, or Bridget's parents, Mark and Bridget Marren?
Thank you.
Karen Hood Tillberg (granddaughter of James Marion Snee and Mariette Louise Egger)

Re: Michael Snee

khtillberg — 2012-07-05 23:23:37Z

I think I am a relative of yours--my grandfather is James Marion Snee, one of Michael's(your grandfather) brothers. I know many of Dorothy's descendents, as my mother, Marion, was close to her cousin.
I am trying to find out more about the family history. Do you know the birth dates of Mary May and Luke Snee (James and Michael's parents)?
I understand that Michael, James and Luke had another brother, Thomas, who did not survive to adulthood. Do you know anything about Thomas?
Do you know the birth dates/places and death places of Mary May's parents, Michael May and Bridget Marren, and Bridget Marren's parents, Mark and Bridget Marren?
Thanks for your help.

Hi, I'm trying to track my family tree and I hoped you could be of some assistance. I am a relative of Thomas Woolner (1825-1892), Father of Titanic surviver Hugh Woolner (1866-1925). The furthest back I am aware of - through family knowledge - is Alvin Woolner, who is my Great Grandfather, father of my Grandad, James Woolner. In between Hugh and Alvin, there is a missing link that I am trying to identify. Any information you are able to provide would be much appreciated.

Re: Michael Snee, Philadelphia Painter

wald132 — 2012-04-18 06:51:11Z

I have an advertising trade card for a Michael Snee, "Painter and Decorator," with a Philadelphia address. This seems to be the Michael Snee who was born in Ireland about 1850; later moved to Brooklyn. I don't collect trade cards for painters, and am looking for a proper home for it. If anyone wants to take a look, reply here and I'll send you a jpg. I'd like the original to go to a direct descendant.

Re: Snee geneology

EmberleyL — 2012-03-22 13:24:47Z

Hi Kathy,
This is what I know- Catherine Fitzgerald married James H . Snee in Boston Mass. We have a photo of James Snee arriving off the boat. Tall, black hair, brown eyes , skinny, He was older than Catherine. Catherine had brother Thomas, sister Mary , who was a school teacher in Arlington Mass. Also sister Brigette, and another brother, I think Michael, all from Count Cork. They had relatives in Tipperary, James Snee came to AMERICA from England. He was most likely the son of 3 brothers who migrated originally from the Mayo area in Ireland. Maybe Catherine knew him before and he migrated here to marry her, he was older than her. He and she had Michael, a twin, Patrick died, Kathleen, James, Margaret (Peggy) and Sheila. All are deceased, Died within the last 5 years. There are numerous links to James SNEE WE, FOUND HE HAD SEVERAL KIDS WITH MANY WOMEN. I wonder if that is the confusion, establishing names. Jimmy had children in Somerville, Boston, , the whole family lived in the Boston area. Its public data, in the records division. Kathleen was my mom, she died 2 years ago. There are many Snee's in the North Carolina area, and in the midwest I was suprised. But, there is alot of reseach to do, I think also my grandmother Catherine was called Kitty. her nephew was Tommy Dolye from Milton Mass he was a police chief. in the 1970's. Hope it helps. Bye Linda

Re: Snee geneology

linda_snee — 2012-03-22 06:07:42Z

Hi Kathy,

Mary Snee could have been the brother of my great great grandfather, Thomes T Snee, born 1841 (I think in Kilkelly). But the information I have startes with him and doesn't show any of his brothers or sisters (assuming he had some) only his children:

John B born 1864
Thomas F born 1866
Mary B born 1871
Patrick F born 1873
Michael B born 1874 (known to be in Atlantic City in 1931)
James J born 1876

I also have their spouse's names.

Re: Snee geneology

EmberleyL — 2012-03-21 11:59:50Z

My Grandmother was Catherine Fitzgerald married James Henry Snee Boston Mass, She had a sister Brigitte and a brother Thomas and a sister Mary ,possibly brother Michael. she died in 1984. She was from County Cork Ireland. She also had a relative named Bernid Snee. Snee's also migrated from Mayo county to England.
Catherine Snee was about 10 years younger than James we believe and he died around 40 years ols she had 8 kids most were sent to foster home in Lowell Mass. Catherine went to Ireland and back to USA on a visa back then, working and trying to make ends meet. Linda E

Bridget Duffy was my great grandmother but I only have geneology information for the Snee family. Maybe they were sisters. Do you have any info on the Snee's that were godparents, names/locations etc as that might make a connection?

Found my great Grandfather Luke Snee on the 1901 Census of Ireland. He was married to Winifred and they had 6 children Kate, Richard,Bridget,Michael Annie and Luke.
My Grandfather was Luke and his brothers were Michael and Richard but the family has his Sisters (who came from Ireland) listed as Agnes and Della.Could this be the same family. Maybe the girls had different names in the US?
Any info would be helpful. Thanks deagle767@hotmail.com

Re: Michael Snee

mekeeney55 — 2011-12-12 05:40:44Z

Very removed relationship but back about 5 generations. Michael Snee naturalized Philadelphia, Pa with brother Andrew. Also had 1 sister Mary Ann Snee and another brother John. Their father's name was John and their mother was Ann Gallagher. Michael Snee born 1821(24)in Ireland married Mary ?. They had 6 surviving children your Michael & girls: Mary,Anne,Emma,Elizabeth & Catherine Frances. ALL of the Snees were painters. In the 1860 census, Michael Snee Sr is listed as Master painter. I have a little info on the Michael Snee family. Most of my info is Mary Ann Snee Devlin.

Re: SNEE / BARR Philadelphia, Pa.

mekeeney55 — 2011-12-12 05:24:01Z

EmberleyL — 2011-10-01 21:51:09Z

Hi Lauren,
I am Linda Snee - that is the birth name - My mom was born in Boston , Mass. She was the daughter of James Henry Snee and Catherine Ann Fitzgerald Snee- She was from County Cork, Waterford , Dungarven Ireland. I am the granddaughter of Catherine and James; My mom has 8 brothers and sisters- Margaret, James, Kathleen (my mom), Michael and Sheila, there was a twin, of Michael died at birth. I traced ancestry to England and Ireland. My grandmother was young at time of marriage - her husband James Henry died at early 40's. He was handsome, tall , and blue eyes, black hair. We also found many mysteries surrounding this family and the origins are not clear. Mr/Mrs/ Byers insightful knowledge is helpful to me. Thanks. Linda

Re: Snee geneology

EmberleyL — 2011-09-07 13:38:25Z

Dear Joe,
Hello,I hope you and your family read the boards. I think our SNEE family tree is related- My grandmother was Catherine Anee Fitzgerald Snee married James Henry Snee , he died very young, they lived in Boston, Mass, My grandmother had a relative she would visist when I was growing up, name Bernard, but, she pronounced it Bernid, he might have been brother-in-law? Not sure, My Nana's nick-name was Kitty, They Had,Margaret, James, Michael,Kathleen, Michael, (he was a twin, one died,). My family and I have tried to figure out what side of the SNEE'S our tree is. Kitty, was younger than him, maybe 6-10 years , she arrived from County Cork, we believe Dungarven, Waterford, County Cork. Kitty's family fell hard when James Henry died of pneumonia at around late 38-42 years, my mom was 10 years old, and all the children went into the Savard Foster Home in Lowell, Mass. It was very difficult times for them. Could explain alot of the breaking of the family tree, sadly, I believe Alcohol played a role, life was tough in the 1920,, 1930,'s my mom was born in 1937- she was 10 years old when her dad died. My mom was Kathleen, Only one brother Michael Snee is alive and one Sister Sheila, ALL ARE DECEASED, I have a photo of James Henry Snee arriving off a boat - he is about 6ft. 2inches, black wavy hair, dressed well, with a hat, luggage bag. my mom told me it was him arriving in America,,,but he appears to be about 29 , 30 years old, time frame did not seem right but, back then people looked older. Let me know if you have any data. Kitty died, in, Boston, I believe in 1982 she was 82-85 I will have to ask my sister. Our generation seems to have done better , and have had more success than our parents, I guess that is what its all about. I live about 1/2 hour from Rhode Island, go there ofter, nice beaches, great food! Well, Warm Regards,

Re: snee family

jmbyers7 — 2011-09-06 02:12:05Z

Hi Linda,
Re Bernid, did you ever see his name written down? It could have been Bernard but sounded like Bernid due to the Irish accent,also in the early days when immigrants arrived and gave their name to the officer in charge the name was recorded as heard which could be another reason. We are very interested in the fact that you have a Stainrod in your family,coincidence? We must find out!
Henry James sounds interesting too. You mentioned your grandfather died in his 40's, which James Henry was blind? You may be interested to know that my husband's Uncle, Mark Snee (b. 1908) left Sheffield to go to the South of England where he became a groom for race horses, I wonder if there was a connection with the Snee male , 1800's. Which castle was it? Jan.

Re: Michael Snee

EmberleyL — 2011-09-05 21:29:48Z

Dear Combat Cowgirl,
My daughter pointed this site to me as she was working om my moms family tree, and the name is SNEE, she saw your site, mentioned it to me because she knew I was looking for a sister given up for adoption in Boston,Mass who would be about 54-58 years of age, just the name Linda Louise, my mom (deceased now) had a sister-in-law named Louise so maybe the names are just a coincidence , or, not, That is why I responded. What data are you looking for? Maybe if they come from Boston Mass we might be able to help, Linda E.

Re: snee family

EmberleyL — 2011-09-05 16:39:18Z

Dear Ms.Byers,
It suddenly came to me - my grandfather James Henry Snee could have had 2 families;Unfortunately, all to common, when they came to the states. Also. could have been what they call the black sheep, family disputes sent JHSnee to America, This man is about 6ft 2 inches , black hair wavy, eyes according to my sister were not blue, as I thought, he is dressed with a suit / hat/ luggage bag- coming off the ship. he appears in his late 20's. Possibly there were a family of Snee possibly name O'Shaigh, found some religious origins of this name related to an archbishop in England. I will send the crest DATA I have on SNEE Warm Regard Linda

Re: snee family

EmberleyL — 2011-09-05 12:21:48Z

THANK YOU. Ms Byers- I remember my nana Kitty, (Catherine) would visit periodically a relative in Rhode Island named Bernid Snee. My sister and recall the name because it was unsual to this area. Bernard not Bernid, seemed common. But, also I traced the Stainrod Family to my family, then saw something clever, a man coming to America who was named Henry James Snee , (possibly reversed) James Henry, was blind and returned to England. Where he lived and married a woman who was also blind and they lived at the school for the blind. I wonder if someone else came to the US as James Henry instead. Inverting the name, could have been a brother. We also found a Snee male who worked in the horse stables for the castle in the 1800's. We have professional show horse girls in this family. But, I will keep looking. I have a picture of the James Henry Snee that came to USA- it is on the ship's arrival in Massachusetts. Linda

Re: snee family

jmbyers7 — 2011-09-04 22:44:13Z

Hi Linda & Lauren,

I know there are some members of the Snee family in the Eastern States of the U.S.A.(all unknown to our Snee branch) maybe John Snee had a brother who emigrated to the USA starting another branch to the Snee tree. We know that John, (wife Winniford/Winnifred) only went to England, year unknown, and James Henry was born in Burton onTrent, Staffordshire, in 1871, married Keziah Stainrod, 25th December, 1894 and lived in Sheffield, England. James Henry's brothers were Thomas born 1863, and Edward born 1873. We don't know any more details about them. This clarifies that the two James Henry's were not closely related.

Re: snee family

jmbyers7 — 2011-08-13 14:07:22Z

Our Snee family originated in Roscommon and Galway, Ireland in 1840's. They emigrated to England eventually settling in Sheffield. My husbands' great grandfather was John Snee, grandfather James Henry Snee, James had several siblings so maybe your grandfather is descended from one of them.
Good luck in your search for your branch of the Snee tree.

Re:Michael Snee from Ireland to Pennsylvania

dink12 — 2011-08-10 14:31:47Z

Does anyone recognise this family from the 1880 US census

1880 census Kingston, Luzerne, Pennsylvania
Michael Snee 45 labourer born Ireland
Winneford 44 housekeeper born Ireland
James 18 labourer born England
Michael 16 labourer born England
Ellen 14 born England
Elizabeth 12 born England
Kate 9 born England
Margret 7 born England
Patrick 5 born Pennsylvania
Thomas Snee brother 45 labourer born Ireland

Were Michael and Thomas twins or is the birth year incorrect for either.

I would like to know if anyone is researching the family and can tell me where they cam from in Ireland, their parents names and any other siblings. I am looking for one possible sister being Mary who was born in Ireland and married Anthony Finnerty in Yorkshire.

Ellen Snee of Selby Yorkshire

dink12 — 2011-08-06 06:41:25Z

I am helping a friend with her family of Snee.

According to the census records Ellen was born c 1868 Selby Yorkshire.She married first husband William Slater in 1887 Oldham Lancashire. She then married in 1889 to Michael Grady of Glentavraun Co Mayo Ireland in Royton Oldham. There is no father shown for Ellen in the marriage register.

I am trying to find her on the census records prior to her first marriage in 1884.

If anyone has links to the family or can help with a lookup on the census records for Ellen Snee born in Selby and living in Royton Oldham, I would be very grateful.

Michael and Wynnie found on 1861 census are parents to both Thomas and Mary but cannot prove this. Unfortunately haven't a clue as to origins of either...

Tghank you so much for your reply. You confirmed a few things that only a family member would know. Edward Ryder's name I had seen but could not assume any relationship. Thank you. Do you know who either mary ryder or michael snee's parents were or what towns in Ireland they came from?

My mother would be so pleased to learn this info because I have had so much luck finding my father's side of family (mostly germans and french) and terrible luck on my mother's irish side.

The Snee family came to Philadelphia and one of the sons MMichael Snee came to Pittsburgh. I have my tree on-line and can share gedcoms if you wish.
