Trying to find Meaney

ProfilePosted byOptionsPost Date

Hi, I'm trying to find the Ireland side of my family tree and searching for any links out there. My great grandmother was Bridget Meaney who married Edward John Blackburn (they met when he was based at The Curragh) in Hampshire 1910 after coming over from Ireland, County Kildare. Her father was Daniel Meaney, a jockey who was injured by a fall and had a limp. I think Bridget had a sister called Charlotte who moved to Austria (we just know of an aunty Char from austria from a photo and she looks very like Bridget) these are all fragment bits we know from their marriage cert and my grandad who's 93, so any help is greatfully received.

Hello Sarah.
Re the Meaney Clan. My grandfather was the head groom for the Aga Khan. I am wondering if your Bridget could be his sister or a cousin... The lived in Kilcullen near the curragh, until they came over to England in the 1930's, He had a lot of children, and my father was born about the same time as your grandfather.
