Mayo, Ireland, where he was born in 1835) and Ann 'Annie' Elizabeth Carney (nee Fisher, and daughter of James Fisher a soldier in the 11th Regiment of Foot) was a native of Exeter, Devonshire, England, where he was born on 21 May 1876. Like his father and maternal grandfather, Martin Henry Carney joined the British Army in 1894, and was posted to the family regiment the 'Devonshire Regiment', also known as the 'Bloody Eleventh'. After service in the South African War (for which he received 2 x medals & 5 clasps), Martin subsequently served with 1st Battalion Devonshire Regiment in British India.

At the time of his marriage Martin was holding the rank of Colour-Sergeant and was 28 years of age. Military service and life in British India, was evidently of considerable appeal to Colour-Sergeant Carneyt, as he subsequently transferred from the British Army for attachment to the Indian Miscellaneous List, and posting to the Indian Ordnance Department (later Indian Army Ordnance Corps). Martin and Violet were blessed with 2 x daughters born in British India, viz Shelagh M. Carney (b 1912.) & Doreen C. Carney (b.1914).
