Hi Richard. Happy New Year.  Hope 2023 is a wonderful year for you and your family. Also, how wonderful for Sadie. Is she the first in the Tinneny Family to attend medical school?  Congratulations to Charity and family.

Hi Rich.  Thanks for all the wonderful pictures and information you’ve provided to our family.  It’s so interesting to discover how diverse we are and the how many different countries we call home. 

Please continue to share our history. Thanks to you and Lucy for all the time and effort you’ve put into this never-ending project. 

Enjoy. Ann Haughey Lerro

I am the granddaughter of Eileen Woods (nee O'Sullivan) who was sister to Mary Tinneny (nee O'Sullivan), Kitty Lehane (nee O'Sullivan) and Frances O'Sullivan. 
My family is still in contact with my grandfather's side of the family, but none of us know much on   my grandmother's side, which is where the loose connection to Tinneny comes in.
 
I would welcome contact.  My email is evelyn.woods@bastyr.edu Thanks much!

Hello, this is George Tinneny, the son of Vincent Tinneny. I also have an elder sister and younger brother, Emma and Jack Tinneny.
I have just found this Tinneny website and am amazed at how big our family tree is, never knew that there were this many Tinneny's :)

[Note: George is the great grandson of Robert Tinneny and Elizabeth Murphy of the townland of Killahurk, Currigallen, Co. Leitrem, Ireland. Prior to that his line came from Goladuff, Newtownbutler, County Fermanagh Northern Ireland. George's grandfather Robert Tinneny was a famous champion footballer on the County Leitrem football team.

My sister and I were delighted to find this website and learn about the Tinnenny family and even a little bit about the Spence's.

Subject:  Betty Tinneny

I was saddened to recently learn of Betty's passing.  When we would visit with her she was always a wonderful hostess.  We had many happy laughs and good times on those visits.  On our last visit, July 1, 2009, Richard, Susanna Tinneny (Belturbet) and myself sat for a while and we shared Tinneny memories.  We also went to see Patrick's family where we were welcomed by Bernie, his wife, daughters and son, Conner. Patrick arrived sometime later.  All were so kind and hospitable.   We returned Betty to her home and as we got in the car to leave, Betty smiled and waved as she said to come again soon.  I'll miss our visits with Betty.  My deepest condolences to all of Betty's family. 

Most sincerely,
Lee Tinneny Columbia, SC, USA

Re: Mary Tinneny Hall of Killahurk, Carrigallen, Co. Leitrem Ireland and London
I have just found the Tinneny site by a chance checking of my name on the net.......I was Mary Tinneny's friend.  I was also her Tutor at The City & Islington College where she wrote up her reminiscences, now published by the College in  "Our Story".  I too have lived here, as Mary did, in Islington most of my life and like Mary, I was born and bred in Co Leitrim. Both Mary and I had many friends in common especialy Lord Kilbracken the only English Peer domiciled in Ireland, a stone's throw from where Mary grew up.  I am also friends with the Bember family. This is why I was asked to read the euology at Mary's funeral. I am a retired Nursing Officer who works exclusively with the elderly Irish in North London (see www. WK College.)  Mary Tinneny was a one off who had on one hand a charmed life and on the other hand had the slings of outrageous fortune to overcome. We were both exiles who survived it all.  Ar deish De go raibh a nanam dhilis.

Hi to my distant relatives from down under,

 
My name is Peter Brember, born in Sydney Australia 1963. named after my grandfather (killed during the war), his widow, Ann, emigrated here with her two boys, Graham and David. 
David (my father) died 1974.  My grandmother Ann, never remarried, as in her eyes, none could replace Peter, whom she loved completely to her last days. 
Being named after Peter, my grandmother intrigued me with her stories about him, and I have often wondered what he was really like. 
 I have never been to Europe, but have plans to go next year. 
Would love to hear from any of my relatives and am particularly interested in meeting Peter Brember (my second cousin) or my great uncle Hugh (should it be possible). 
 
I look forward to hearing from you.

Hi to all our Clan
 
My mane is Muriel Tinnany from Helensburgh, Scotland, the Granddaughter of Patrick Tinnany who, when he came over from Belturbet Ireland as a young man somehow changed his name from Tinneny to Tinnany.
I only have limited information about our family and my husband Nick and I are travelling back to Belturbet on 20th September and look forward to spending a few days there to "research the family roots". Hopefully there will be some folk still staying in the area who can give me some insight to our family history.
 
Any help from anyone would be most welcome.
 
Good luck and Good fortune to all

My name is Emma Gerrard and I am the great grand daughter of Katherine Murray (the daughter of Mary Tinneny of Goladuff). Katherine had a daughter Sheila (Sarah) and Sheila had Maura. Maura then had me and here I am writing to you now. I was at a Toland christening over the weekend and I got talking with my Great Uncle Andy Toland (son of Katherine also) and he told me about the web site. I was in the Royal Navy for nine years and have recently left to have a baby. I now have a daughter called Blossom Gerrard who I guess is sixth generation from Mary Tinneny. Well I thought that I would introduce myself and I hope to hear from you soon. It’s really interesting to be in contact with new family descendants.

Hi. My name is Tammy Ann Botte.  I am the daughter of Catherine Tinneny and Vincent Ciccarelli. She was the daughter of Phillip Tinneny.  Phillip and his wife Mary had eight children-- Robert (Bobby), Catherine (Sisty), Philip (Vicky), Elizabeth, Daniel, Mary, Tommy and Alice. My mom passed on in 2002 and Robert and Vicky have passed on. I never met my grandfather since he died at a young age, but my mom and her siblings always shared fun stories of him and their childhood. I've always been told he was a very active man--always walking-- and always kept a keen eye on his children.  I'm sure my uncles and aunts could tell more detailed stories.

I have two children, Tyler and Hayley, ages 14 and 12 respectively.  My son loves sports and my daughter loves the arts-- dance, music, drama. I went back to school to get my Masters in Education/Special Education a few years ago. I currently work in a local elementary school and love working with children. My uncles and aunts were always around when I was little. And being as both parents came from a family of eight we always had a house full of company. The Tinneny side was the fun side-- mischievous and somewhat devilish sense of humor.  My uncles and aunts loved children and always played with us and played jokes on us, no matter what their age.  If you couldn't take a joke, they'd just joke with you more. They're still the same to this day.
Well, heard about this website a while ago and with being so busy never looked into it.  Admittedly, I was also a little skeptical. My aunt convinced me the other day to look into it. I haven't had the chance to look at or read everything, but look forward to learning a little more about my mom's side of the family. Perhaps, one day there will be a Tinneny reunion.
Regards to all of the Tinneny's out there.
Love, Tammy

Hello Rich,

I appreciate your website. I am the greatgranddaughter of James Murray and Margaret Gibney. They were in Mullyduff (one mile from Newtownbutler) in the 1911 Census of Ireland. I don't know where they were for the 1901 Census but maybe in Newtownbutler. I am going to Newtownbutler in February and I hope to get some information from St. Mary's Church and graveyard. I know from your website that there are some Murrays still in the area. Maybe I will meet some of them. I know that we have corresponded before but I really haven't been able to get very far on my research. Let's hope that all changes next month.

Tympany in England

Just come across your website. What a lot of work! I would love to feel I belonged. My great great great grandmother was Ann Tympany (also known as Tinpennay) who married Christopher Fothergill. They came from Over Kellet, a village just north of Lancaster, England. I think her parents were Ann and John. Can anyone help me to "fit in"?

Wow....who knew?   I am the grand daughter of Katherine Murray.  Andy Toland, my mum's brother (Sheila Reilly), gave me your web address. And, my brother Joseph Reilly just called me to make sure I had looked at the site.  We are very excited to hear that we have many relatives who are also interested in their heritage.

 
My dad's name was William Reilly from County Cavan.  My mum, Sarah Toland was from Newtown Butler. My parents met in Manchester, England. I have a brother Joseph Reilly and Sister Maura Reilly.  I moved to New York in 1986 with my cousin Veronica Donaghue, daughter of Vera Donaghue (formally Toland - Andy's sister).  I married Phil Castellano, (a native New Yorker) in 1992.  I have 2 children Philip (8) and Kiera (5).  We currently reside in Brooklyn, New York.
 
I had the pleasure of visiting my Great Aunt Mary Murray who lives in the house that granny Katy Murray was born in that her brother inherited (Aunt Mary married Katy's brother).
 
Your site is fabulous.  I truly am looking forward to sharing some stories.

My daughter has developed a site for our family {Dillon/Sheridan}. The Dillon branch of the family we also believe to have been from Co.Fermanagh, possibly Cavan. I am sending your a link to our site, perhaps you would like to take a look. www.gerisgenes.com

Hello Rich,
Excellent site - keep it up. I am a nephew of Mary (Molly) Tinneny nee O'Sullivan and am very anxious to make contact with members of her family to complete a family tree I am completing on the O'Sullivan, Lehane and related families. Hopefully you or some of your site visitors can help. Mary O' Sullivan married Philip Tinneny in New York in the 1930's or 40's (photo of wedding on your web site). Mary O'Sullivan (sister of my mother Kathleen Lehane nee O'Sullivan) was born in 1908 Fountainstown, Co Cork and emigrated to the US in the 1930's where she married Philip Tinneny born 1908, son of Robert & Elizabeth Tineny of Killahurk, Co Leitrim. Mary Tinneny died in 1983 and Philip Tinneny died in 1964. We have lost touch with the family in the intervening years since the deaths of Mary Tinneny and my mother Kathleen Lehane and would appreciate contact from immediate family or grandchildren - I am aware that Danny Tinneny was a son of Mary & Philip Tinneny but unsure of names  of other children.

Regards

Hi Rich
I have looked at some of  Tinnenys Site [very well done] and remember Peggy Tinneny [Tinneny McKenna of Cullion, Newtownbutler] as a nice lady who was a good friend  to my mum.  The Site brings back childhood memories of Tommy Tinneny riding a bicycle at night with a carbide lamp. Tommy McKenna was a friendly man who I last seen in London at my brother's wedding in 1970. I know some of the people in the Site photo's [Site large]  but it will take some time to check it out.

Dear Lucy and Rich, I signed this guestbook when the site was first up and running.  I feel compelled by the site's "proven and enduring excellence" to comment once again.  You two have given all Tinneny's a wonderful chance to meet each other worldwide.  I don't know if everyone appreciates the dedication and time-sacrifice the two of you have given to providing this technological family album for us.  My family and I do!  We want to thank you with all of our hearts.

Hi Rich, You've done a wonderful job and want to thank you on behalf of all my family for making your research available, if it hadn't been for you we would not have known anything about our heritage, or met up with our cousins in Ireland.

Greetings to my very extended family. I am Daniel P. Klebes, Jr. better known as Danny.  I am the grandson of Patrick Tinneny. My father Daniel P. Klebes and my uncle Wally were adopted, at a very young age by Leo G. Klebes, thus our surname, who was a wonderful man and beloved grandfather to me. I remember, quite warmly, visiting the home and family of my father's first cousin Jack Tinneny in Manayunk and at their summer home on the river. I am so proud to be both a Tinneny and a Klebes and appreciate the heritage of each family. God's richest blessings on all of my family.

A terrific journey of discovery about the Tinneny family history, to say the least.

Lucy Sherwood lts@tinneny.net 09-05-2002 - 20:51
Having only recently discovered my Tinneny ancestry, I was delighted to have been given the opportunity to play my part in making Rich's research available to the Tinneny's around the world. Working on the site has been a rewarding experience - and some of your faces have become so familiar to me you seem like old friends.
