| Hello Suzette,
I am having a strange day!
This is the first anniversary of my Dads passing, his name was James George Dehany, born in Liverpool 1938. My cat became a mother today and then out of the blue, you leave a message on the ancestry board! I think I need a lie down.
My relatives, with the spelling of Dehany married into the Hall family that had a sugar plantation in Jamaica.
You may find all about that on the Hall family papers or the Hall sugar plantation. Simply copy and paste that into your search bar and it comes up.
I have found that all spellings that look or sound like Dehany, moreover when spelled Duhaney, are likely to be connected in some way to my family. Unfortunately, the Hall family had slaves on the plantation as many did back then, and I have recently learned that when the enslaved people were emancipated, they took their former "masters" surname. I have also found that there is a holy man with the name of Dehany that means a lot to Jamaica, he travelled with someone called Linton. Buts that's not what you are looking for, you best bet is to ask my cousin twice removed, Will Dehany. He is a noted and exceptionally clever man who also happens to be lovely, and can tell you far more about any possible connections than I can. At least, I think its twice removed. My Great granddad and his Granddad were brothers. I think.
Anyhoo, just as a catch up, I'm in Coventry, England and its bloomin' freezing and now I've forgotten why I went on the Net in the first place.
Oh! Wills Email address might be useful...Hang on a sec...: Thats should help things along.
Bye for now,
Joy.
x I removed will email of course before posting this

| This came in today march 9, 2008 Dear Suzette,
Thanks much for your e-mail. There is so much twist to our name that unravelling
it would take a very long time.
All the persons who could give us clear answers are no longer around. My
father's birth certificate said he came from St. James. This document was
only found some years ago (after my father's death). So most of what I know
about him was gleaned from my half sister Evelyn.
She had more contact with Dad. My father left Jamaica for England in 1963
and died in Manchester England in 1970.
I know the Duhaney/Dehaney name comes from somewhere in Ireland.
I don't know where to start or if I really want to start this process.
Let me know what you think.
Kind regards,
Jacqueline

| Taken from our facebook group Duhaney Unite Hey guys, My Great Grandfather's name is Wilfred Duhaney was born October 23, 1878 and died June 18, 1974 he married an irish woman named Adina Watler. His sister's name was Amy Duhaney, and he had more siblings, I just don't know who they are. This was in the early 1900's. My great grandparents had 3 sons, Wilfred Jr.(my grandpa), Roderick, and Ladner. All in Jamaica, I just don't know where, but my dad was born in May Pen. PS: Francis Ann Davidson is also the mother of Wilfred and Amy Duhaney. Crystal dad is also Wilfred and he has a sister Helen. Helen is now married and name (Harrison) Inbox message from Crystal Hi Suzette, I just found a picture of my great grandfather's tombstone. He was born on Oct 23, 1878 and died June 18, 1974. Buried in Four Paths United Church. Four Paths, Jamaica Hey I just found out my great grandfathers mothers name was Frances Ann Davidson, born probably in the early 1800's. All her kids are Duhaneys. One of her kids might be your great grandparent. Hi Suzette, Frances Ann Davidson is the mother of Wilfred Duhaney (D.O.B Oct 23, 1878- D.June 1974) and Amy Duhaney, and probably had more Duhaney children that I dont know the names of but I bet that is the key to this mystery. If you can find out who her other children were, then we can put the pieces together. She must have been born in the mid 1800's. HTML By Ayesha @Land Of Backgrounds | | | | |

| Taken from an email send by Jacqueline and Evelyn Duhaney. March 12, 2008 Well as far as I can tell from the information we have is that our father Beresford Duhaney was born in St. James and his mother was called Estriana Beckford. The dates I don't have at hand at the moment. We have moved house and most of my paper work are still in boxes.I will definitely visit the group and read the information. We need to keep in touch with each other and as soon as I know more I will let you know. I don't know when we will be in Jamaica again but its definitely worth a try going to St James. Doors won't start opening unless we knock on them There are a lot of Duhaney's around and seeing that this is a very uncommon name, there must be some connection somewhere, but its just to start unravelling the cord. You never know we may solve this one sooner than we think. Until I hear from you guys, this is me signing out. God bless you Jacqueline

| Clifton Duhaney from facebook Interested in Duhaney family History and any information you might store, my name is Clifton Duhaney living in Manchester, England it's nice to know there are so many Duhaney's globally, i would imagine our root is in Jamaica but it will be interesting to find out,you never know we could be immediate relatives, my branch of the Duhaney family comes from St Catherine, we originate from a district called Garden Hill but most of our immediate Duhaney relatives at present are residing in Point Hill. Be good to hear from you and where your branch of the Duhaney family comes from. All the best Clifton Duhaney
