Mary Meaney

Abt 1833 - 1885  (~ 52 years)

• Name	Mary Meaney
  Born	Abt 1833	Ferryland, Newfoundland   [1]
  Family lore relates that Mary Meaney was from Ferryland. However, little is known of Mary, so we are left to speculate as to who her father may have been. Although there is no known family lore of direct kinship, there is a strong possibility that Mary (Meaney) Swain may have been the daughter of Thomas and Bridget? Meaney of Ferryland. John and Mary Swain had a son named Thomas, who died at sea in 1897. His brother, Peter, named his son, Thomas, after him in 1902. These were the only instances that Swain males were given that forename until late in the 20th century. (Kevin Reddigan)
