I’ve tried to trace where my gg grandfather originated from in Ireland but have gotten no where. Any O’Sullivan’s out there? Jerimiah O’Shea(his name is in the Canadian 1850′s census like this) married Catherine O’Sullivan then moved to New Brunswick, Canada. I believe they had Judith, their first born in Ireland as well. She was born about 1832. They came across from Cork area. That much i figured out.
Thanks, Kathy
Sorry I don’t have any O’Sullivan, but could you contact me re Judith? She is my great great grandmother. Debbie dmrowley(at)shaw(dot)ca
Seeking any information related to the O’Sheas of High Street, Killarney. Daniel O’Shea was a Blacksmith, married Catherine Connor probably in the late 1870′s. They raised at least six children: Dennis (born circa 1884) Patrick (b/c 1885) Katherine (b 1891), Eileen (b/c 1897) and twin boys Daniel and Michael/Mackey (b/c 1900). At least Katherine and Eileen moved to Boston in early 1900′s. Believe Dennis may have remained, as a blacksmith. Daniel may have become a priest in Ireland, and lived past 1989. Mackey may have been a Killarney entrepeneur.
Katherine married Daniel Rahilly, probably in Boston.
Hi,
I have been trying to trace my ancestors. The information I have is my great grandparents are John Shea(Tim) and Catherine Shea(nee Sullivan) of Brackross, County Kerry. They had 10 children, I could only find 9. They were Bridget born 1858, Timothy born 1861, Timothy born 1867, Patrick born 1869, Bridget born 1873, John born 1877, Myles born 1879, James(my grandfather) born 1884, and Margaret born 1888. Apart from having my grandfather’s death certificate, we need to have all the childrens and my great grandparents death certificates as well. We are not having any luck with it sadly. Just don’t have any idea when and where any of them died.
If anyone has any information I would appreciate it.
Thank you
Ann
Ann.. your Myles born 1879 just wondering if you maybe connected to My thomas Shea born about 1795 married Ellen Miles [Myles]about 1820.. One of their chn Edmond married Johanna Sullivan in 1869 in NZ..She was born 1834 at ?? laharn in Kerry..find they are so hard to track and this could well be a long shot .. Thanks Helen
Hi Helen,
The only information I know about my Myles Shea is that he was born 6 July 1879 in a place called Brackross, Co Kerry and his parents are John Shea(Tim) and Catherine Shea(nee Sullivan) that is all we know about him.
As for the connection between my Myles and your Thomas Shea I can’t say whether there is, if you don’t mind me asking what makes you think they are connected?
I am also having so much trouble tracking down my ancestors as well.
Regards, Ann
Hello, I am trying to find out what I can about my great grandmother Bridget Shea, born May 30, 1869, County Cork, died Mar. 30, 1963, Springfield, MA.
Married John D Burns (born Aug. 25, 1866, Suffield CT, died April 26, 1947) Springfield, MA, Sept. 14, 1891.
Hi Ann.. my thomas shea nd nellie {miles myles] had aJohn andn sometimes a maiden surname became a first name hence my long shot … happy to find all my birthdates for you to see if my John matches yours..The only ge i have in Ireland were born 1820–1840 then i lose them ..Yesterdays Dna result matches my line with a John Shea about 1795 from Dungarvan in Waterford ,, so we never know when something new turns up… i now have to see whether i can work out if they are brothers or cousins perhaps.., Cheers from NZ Helen
Hi Helen, if you wouldn’t mind sending me all your birthdates, then I can see if my John matches yours. It would be best if you sent me an email with the birthdates you have. My email address is annmwise47@hotmail.co.uk it would be very much appreciated.
Just wondered I hear about this Dna on O’shea’s Facebook profile, what is it all about?
