Hello Jill,
Sorry, those folks don’t fit in my tree at all. My grandfather John Tierney was born in 1892 and married my grandmother May Egan in 1919. Hence this post.
He did have a son John from his first marriage to Sabina Gilroy, but he was born in 1916 and married Mary Seeley.

If I come across any records that appear to match your Tierneys I’ll let you know – good luck with your search!

Thanks everyone! I’m looking forward to going back and getting some better photos since my camera didn’t cooperate that day…

This is a great puzzle unfolding. Really nicely worded and the photos make it all a great short story. You truly have a gift! One that likely was passed down from the your heritage.

Very nicely worded. It certainly is a somewhat surreal thing when discovering who our grandparents were as people before we were born—seeing the layers and learning about the experiences they lived through that formed them into the people we came to know as simply “Grandma” or “Grandpa” from such a small and one dimensional viewpoint.
