My mother's Great Grandfather's name was William Meaney; I believe he was born around 1880, since he died at the ripe old age of 82 in Melbourne, Australia, 1962. He & his brother's Michael & Peter were from Clare on Shannon, County Clare, Ireland. William married an American widow named Elizabeth Powell, from Arkansas, US (elder sister to the actor Dick Powell) They had 5 children: (twins) William & Violet, Albert, Hubert & Dorothy. Elizabeth died in 1964, age 84 in Melbourne, Australia. Thier 2nd son Albert (5/5/1917) married Alice (Val) Collins (19/6/1919), from Delorane, Tasmania, Australia, & thier 2nd son is my mother's father: Albert John Joseph Meaney (22/4/1943). I'd really appreciate any leads or information about either William, Elizabeth, Michael or Peter. It would be so exciting to make a connection! Thanyou, Emmaline.
