 Abt 1857 - 1932 (~ 74 years)
Generation: 1
| 1. | Thomas Meaney was born Abt 5 Sep 1857, Ferryland, Newfoundland; died 26 Mar 1932, Montreal, Quebec, Canada; was buried 29 Mar 1932, Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Other Events:
- Baptism: 6 Sep 1857, Holy Apostles Parish, (Fermeuse/Renews), Newfoundland
- Immigration: 1881, Montreal, Quebec, Canada
Notes:
Birth:
Although the church records for Holy Trinity Roman Catholic Parish at Ferryland prior to 1870 have not survived, an entry located in Holy Apostles Roman Catholic Parish baptism records at Fermeuse/ Renews shows that Thomas Meaney, the first born child of James Meaney and Esther Murphy was baptized there on the 6th September 1857.
However, in Canadian Census records, from 1891 onward, Thomas' year of birth was usually recorded as the 5th of September 1861. It is not clear if the year was an error on Thomas' part or if the 1857 son, Thomas, died young and another son born in 1861, exactly four years later, was named Thomas. This practice of commemorative naming was quite common, especially so in this family since both of his grandfathers were named Thomas.
Immigration:
In the 1921 Canada Census, Thomas' year of immigration was recorded as 1881.
Buried:
Service was from Notre Dame Basilica.
Died:
To add to the confusion as to the correct birth year of Thomas Meaney, his age at death was recorded (in French) as "soixante -cinq", that is "sixty five". If this was meant to be "soixante-quinze" that is "seventy five", then his calculated birth year would be 1857.
Thomas married Margaret Mary Ryan Abt 1888. Margaret was born 7 May 1866; died 30 Oct 1930, Montreal, Quebec, Canada; was buried 3 Nov 1930, Montreal, Quebec, Canada. [Group Sheet]
