My grandfather Tierney came to Canada in 1928. His ancestors go back to mid 1800s in Blackburn, England - working in the cotton industry. I would like to find out where the come from in Ireland.
Hi Janice,
Will need more details please as Tierney is a very common name..
First name of grandfather and year of birth; where in Canada did he come to?
Any names of the ancestors in England and birth years.
Col
Arthur James Tierney (my grandfather) - b. 1882; Oswaldtwistle, Preston Lancashire - came to Toronto, Ontario, Canada (1st time in 1908; returned to Blackpool, Lancashire and emigrated again in 1928.) My Dad, Bernard Arthur was born in Blackpool (1912) - lived, worked, married in Oshawa, Ontario)
Clementine Tierney (Arthur James mother) - b. 1857; Blackburn Lancashire
James Tierney (her father) - b. 1825; Blackburn area
Danial (Denis?) Tierney - b. circa 1794 (England, Ireland??). He married Violet Hall October 1, 1820 at St. Andrew Church, Leyland.
It's Danial/Denis I figure may have been born in Ireland - I'm stuck here.....
Hi Janice,
Irandomly stumbled across this post, I am a tierney from along line of tierney from Blackburn. Maybe we are related somehow? My grandfather was also called Arthur but didn't emigrate!
