Greaneys of Ballysteen and Temple Athea, County Limerick

To Whom It May Concern:

Hello. How are you? I hope this message finds you well.  

 

My grandfather, William Coleman Greaney, was born in 1905 in Ballysteen, County Limerick.  

 

William's father was Thomas Greaney, 1868-1927.  Thomas was born in Athea.  Thomas married Mary Harnett in 1894 and moved to Ballysteen.  For reasons I do not know.

 

Thomas's father was Michael Greany, 1830-1885, and his mother Mary nee Enright.  Michael Greaney was born circa 1830 to Cornelius Greaney and Mary Roche.  When and where Cornelius was born I do not know.  

 

However, Cornelius Greany passed in A.D. 1840 in Athea.  I found a newspaper article about him in the Dublin Evening Post.  

 

I believe my Greaney family in Athea may have been in Glenagower ? 

 

Even anyone knows about any Greaneys in Athea or help.  It would be much appreciated.

 

Respectfully
