Member Since: February 2009 Posts: 7 Send Message	I am trying to find out info on my Grandmother's family. She was Mary Anne Heaney born 1919 in Dublin, Eire. She had a brother Francis Heaney (he sometimes spelt it Heeney) c1921 also born in Eire and their parents were James Heaney and Margaret Heaney nee McGrane, again both from Eire. My grandmother came to the UK in the 40's and took on the married name of Barker. Frank came over at some point after that as well and they both remained in the UK. I understand their father (my great grandfather) James Heaney had remarried when they were children as their mother had passed away (they were raised by other relatives). We think James and his new family may have moved to the Isle of Man. My grandmother passed away in 1968, so I was never able to ask her about her past and therefore know very little re thier family other than that, but if you are linked to a Heaney family from the Dublin area I would love to hear from you to see if you can help.
