Sweeney family 1917
I am trying to trace my grandmothers heritage with very little information to go off as she has no birth certificate. I only have bits of information passed down. I am really hoping someone can help me in my search.
My grandmother is Mary Josephine Sweeney born 22nd November 1917 from Claremorris, County Mayo. Her father was John Sweeney born around 1890 and her mother Josephine Sweeney born around 1895. They had 3 children my grandmother, John Sweeney born in 1915? and Kathleen Sweeney. Kathleen passed away in her 20's. They came to England in around 1922 and settled in Cheetham Hill Manchester and my great grandfather John worked on the docks of Manchester ship canal. My grandmother talked about being schooled in a convent with very strict nuns and of living in poverty but her father always made sure she had new shoes! My grandmother lived to reach 98 years old and was much loved by us all. Thank you for your help.
