I am still looking for any Sweeneys from the townland of Altavra in the
parish of Killargue in Co.Leitrim.My gg grandmother, Mary Sweeney,possibly
the daughter of James Sweeney and Alice McLoughlin,was born there about
1835 and in 1859 married Michael O'Rourke in St Brigid´s RC Church there
and then moved to Drumkeeran,where my great grandmother was born.If this
sounds familiar to anyone,please contact me.
Many thanks.

I am looking for some information on Mary Jane Sweeney. She is related to
the Sweeneys who run the pleasure crafts on Loch Lomond. I am particularly
interested on learning more about the man she married in the early 1900's.
His name was Benjamin Bishop, my grandfather.

My grandfather, Maurice Francis Sweeney, left Scartaglin, Ireland, in
1895. He was 21. He met my grandmother, Jennie St. Peters (believe her
maiden name was was Murray) near Chicago. He had a daughter, Annie. My
father, Ned Maurice Sweeney was born 5/4/28 in Waterbury CT and attended
Sacred Heart. He joined the USMC when he was 17. His father died sometime
before then and had worked at a brass factory and then as a watchman in
Hartford. My father died in 1988. Anyone with information about my
grandparents or aunt, please email. God bless and thank you.

the great depression (died at age 32-35 not sure exactly) and his parents
were immigrants from donegal .. must have come over right before the turn
of the century.. my grandfather, Bernard Dennis sweeney was not sure of
the detail being that his da dies so young. Any information would be
welcome. Thank you in advance.

My gggrand-father Peter Maloney (born ca. 1812) arrived in Canada ca.
1820-30). He was the son of William Maloney and PALLY Sweeney (born ca.
1780-90).
In any of the posts here, do we see the surname Pally, which could give a
chance to be in the branch I am looking for.
If one of you can help me, I would be very grateful.
