Kearney Family London
Researching my family Kearney
John Seymour Kearney B circa 1847 Ireland; father Thomas Kearney musician who as far as I can tell never came to England.
Married Emma Payne 1877 in Wandsworth registry office. Emma P B 1855 Hinckley.
Had four children: Seymour George K B 1880
John Henry B 1882
Walter B 1886
Emma B 1888
Subsequent events strongly catholic; so why marry in a registry office which was in itself unusual then?
Wife left back in Ireland?
Any information welcome
