She had a son out of wedlock to Michael Kanery in 1866. I notice that Kanery is probably a miss-spelling of Kiniry. Michael Kanery was born circa 1840. He was a shoemaker in Launceston in 1866/67. I found a Michael Kiniry who died in Victoria in 1893, the son of John Kiniry and Mary Kiniry nee Morrison. Does anyone have Michael Kiniry in their tree who might match with Michael Kanery.
