Archives"Delaney" is not an English name...Nor French!!!
From the "Annals of the History of Ireland" by the Four Masters:
"M878.20 (i.e. the year 878 AD or CE)
and Finn, son of Dubhslaine, lord of Ui Fidhgeinte, died."
also:
From the "Anglo-Saxon Chronicles":
"A.D. 891. This year went the army eastward; and King Arnulf
fought with the land-force, ere the ships arrived, in conjunction
with the eastern Franks, and Saxons, and Bavarians, and put them
to flight. And three Scots came to King Alfred in a boat without
any oars from Ireland; whence they stole away, because they would
live in a state of pilgrimage, for the love of God, they recked
not where. The boat in which they came was made of two hides and
a half; and they took with them provisions for seven nights; and
within seven nights they came to land in Cornwall, and soon after
went to King Alfred. They were thus named: Dubslane, and
Macbeth, and Maelinmun. And Swinney, the best teacher that was
among the Scots, departed this life. And the same year after
Easter, about the gang-days or before, appeared the star that men
in book-Latin call "cometa": some men say that in English it may
be termed "hairy star"; for that there standeth off from it a
long gleam of light, whilom on one side, whilom on each."

"Cathal, son of Dubhslaine, son of Corcran, son of Corc, from whom the Ui Cuirc family, son of Artghail, son of Drohnall, son of Conall,
son of Snedhghus, son of Nadfraich, son of Colgan, son of Failbhe Flann." (Representing 6th and 7th centuries.)
