Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

The name Mary Delaney was very common in Ireland in the 19th century. I searched on Roots Ireland from 1830-1840 for a Mary Delaney in Tipperary North and there were 29 records. There would be a similar number in Tipperary South. We would really need to know her parents names to try to assist you.

Any other clues?

Have you considered autosomal DNA testing?

Please also consider adding Mary's story to our XO Chronicles site https://www.irelandxo.com/ireland-xo/history-and-genealogy/ancestor-dat…

Hello Roger,

Thank you for your speedy reply.

Co-incidentally I have just sent in my DNA sample to Ancestry DNA which is located again co-incidentally in Ireland.

I should have some info in 4-6 weeks.

Will follow up then,

Thank you,

Kelly St- Denis

When you get your results, in addition to the ethnicity info, you will get a number of matches. They will be sorted with the closest matches on top. I have also tested with Ancestry DNA (and also Family Tree DNA) and Ancestry match data can be problematic in that many people do not provide a public tree or respond to messages. One other thing you can do involves Gedmatch www.gedmatch.com  Gedmatch is a volunteer run site where you can load your raw DNA data from Ancestry and see if you get any close matches with people who tested with another company (and also loaded their data to Gedmatch).

Hi Kelly!

Likely, we would not match. I also tested with Ancestry so if you see a match with someone named RM with McDonnell connections that would be me.

Hi My name is Debbie Paton and I am trying to trace my great great great grandmother Mary Delaney.  The only information I have about her is that my great great grandfather Hiram Emery Pierce listed her as his mother on his marriage certificate in 1866 when he married Annie Elizabeth Jones in Sydney Australia.  So this is probably a long shot he also stated that his father was Hiram Pierce a mariner.  Any hints or suggestions would be welcome.

Thanks Debbie Paton
