Kenna’s or McKenna’s Scarriff, County Clare, and Patrick and Bridget Cummins, Cliffoney, County Sligo

Therese,

Attached some information in relation to Kenna - Scarriff - Co. Clare.

I suggest that you write to the Editor, Clare Champion, Barrack Street, Ennis - clarechampion.ie and request him to publish your query.

Regards,

Thank you McCoy for that information. I shall do.

Would it be at all possible to find out where Edmund’s land was and pay a visit?
Regards,

Therese

Therese,

I attach a copy of the townland of Ballymalone and also Griffith's land record which was printed in 1855.

Number 19 on the page has James Minogue, Roger Minogue and Edmond Kenna farming c52 acres of land in common. The family home may be at a different location in the townland.

Edmond Kenna died in Ballymalone in 1877 and another Edmond died there in 1892. Possible father and son? I have not found the marriage record for Edmond No. 2 and there is no record of any Kenna/McKenna in Ballymalone in the 1901 Irish census. 

Best Wishes,

Many thanks,

Therese

Hi Therese,

 I have only recently seen your post about your trip to Ireland and so sorry to have missed the opportunity of meeting you. If you are interested I have information on the Kenna family - in particular those that remained in Ireland. Edmond and Judith/Johanna Kenna were my late husbands great, great, grandparents. 

If you would like to chat about the information I have found please get in contact. I am new to this website and forum so am a little uncertain about the process. 

Would love to hear from you.

Kindest regards,

Hishon - aka Úna

Hi - I am coming to Ireland in September for a wedding and started digging in to my Irish heritage to see what I could find out. My Dad has shared some information with me about his great Grandfather (my great great) Cornelius Kenna (brother of Patrick) who was born in 1844 in Scariff, County Clare Ireland and died in Australia in 1921 (where i'm from).

He was the sixth of eight children born to Edmund Kenna and Johanna Mulready.

I would love to find out any information I could about the family and perhaps come and visit when i'm over in September. I've shared some of the info I have and what I believe to be our family crest. Any information that you might have or things you could share would be amazing.

Thanks so much!
