The Ancestors of Teena Harney

My Mother (Teresa 'Teena' Maria Harney)was born in Ballyneale, Garrangibbon (Civil Parish), Carrick-on-Suir (Poor Law Union), Tipperary on 15 August 1918.She migrated to Australia abt. the age of 14 years (i.e. c. 1932) with the Bains family (also Irish)and lived initially in Queensland.Teena used to holiday with the Baines family in Sydney (they owned the Dolphin Hotel in South Sydney) and whilst there met my father.In 1949 Teena married James 'Jim' Michael Armstrong in Sydney, Australia.They had three children (all living) namely, Josephine Anne (born 1949), James 'Jim' Andrew (born 24 Feb. 1950) and Christine Mary (born 03 Jan. 1956).Teena died in Wollongong, New South Wales, Australia in 1983.
Teena's parents were Daniel Harney (birth and death dates unknown)and mother Catherine 'Kate' Hogan (birth and death dates unknown). My grandparents were farmers in Ballyneale and my uncle Michael Harney farmed there until his recent death.

Does anyone have information about my grandparents and their ancestors that you could share with me?

Thank you,
