Catherine was born in Tipperary, Ireland circa 1856. I have no records of any of her possible siblings. In some of our records Catherine was referred to as Kate. Kate (Catherine) emigrated to Auckland, NZ on the ship "Salisbury" in 1876. She married John Kenny in Christchurch NZ in 1878 and soon after they sailed to Sydney on the "Hero". My great grandparents, John and Catherine eventually settled in Sydney and had ten children. They both died in Sydney,1933. My grandfather, also John, was their eldest child and was born in Sydney,1879. I am also searching for any descendants of Owen and Bridget (McKeown) Kenny. They were the parents of my great grandfather John Kenny who was born in county Clare, Ireland circa 1856. I have no records of any of his possible siblings. If any of these names are familiar to you, could you please contact me with any details. I am hoping to find new branches of our family tree. Thanks, Peter Kenny.
