Edmond Kearney (Carney) 1765

Back to List

Teermore (Tiermore) is a townland of about 324 acres in the parish of Kilbreedy Major, Co. Limerick.

The earliest (so far :)) mention of the Kearney family living in Teermore comes from the book: Staker Wallace, His Life and Times and Death by Mainchín Seoighe. The book makes reference to a document in the National Archives of Ireland listing the tenants of Teermore on Apr 23 1816.

Edmond Carney is one of the names on that list.

I believe this Edmond is either my great-great-great-great-grandfather or the brother of my great-great-great-grandfather.

All I know is that since 1816 there have always been Kearneys living in Teermore (6 or 7 generations). And that our family has spread to the townlands of Bawnagh, Ballymacshaneboy and Darranstown.

  • Do you have any records of a JOhn Carney born 1810 in Limerick? 

    His name was changed to Kearney after he moved to the US

  • Hi Connie,

    I don't have a John Kearney in my tree from that time.

    But there was a lot of Kearney families in County Limerick at that time, mainly in Sunville, Ardpatrick, Lough Gur and Kilmallock town.

    Do you know when your John moved to the US?
