Re: looking for O'Shaughneesy, Finucane roots
One small clue here may be the fact that John O'Shaughnessy was a tailor. Certain occupations were often handed down within families through many generations. I notice that husband and wife Patrick and Mary O'Shaughnessy were tailors in Kilrush in the 1901 census. Could be a possible connection?

Paul If you haven't already I suggest you check out the Teermaclane National School registers at http://www.clarelibrary.ie/eolas/coclare/genealogy/tiermaclane_ns/tiermaclane_ns_register.htm where a number of McInerney children from Ballyea are listed. Of course these are apparently the next generat...

Re: Byrne from Ennis
I have a distant relative by the name of John Burns who is variously recorded upon the baptism of his children in Clondagad Parish as Burns, Byrns, Byrne and Byrnes. John and his wife Ellen Phillips did have a son Michael who was born in 1872, maybe no connection. The family lived (1901 census) in t...

Shoemakers named Mahon
Recently I had cause to return to the Tiermaclane School registers at http://www.clarelibrary.ie/eolas/coclare/genealogy/tiermaclane_ns/tiermaclane_ns_register.htm In the accompanying article author Aoife de Buitléir mentions his gg grandfather Patrick Mahon, son of shoemaker John Mahon of Killerk. ...

Re: Looking for family of MARY O'SHAUGHNESSY Ennis, Co. Clar
The Ennis Parish Baptism Register at http://www.ennisparish.com/genealogy/ lists a baptism of baby Nancy to parents Andy Shaughnessy and Margt Armstrong on 30 Dec 1843. This could be another sibling of your Mary, but as the Register only commences in 1841, I'm not sure how much help this is. I notic...

Re: Luke SHINNERS and Mary LIDDY - marriage date and childre
Hi again Red, are you still there? Just a thought that if you wish to learn more of your Ennis connections you may do well to browse through all the goodies on the Clare Library website. Although your ancestors emigrated in 1852, traces of the families they left behind still remain. Taking a quick l...

Hello Red The Ennis Parish website at http://www.ennisparish.com/genealogy/ opens up with the Baptismal Register search box. If you click on the grey box above, the Marriage Register search box appears. Entering Shinners for SURNAME and Liddy for WIFE MAIDEN SURNAME and 1841 comes up with a nil resu...

Re: Letters after a name
Thanks for those inputs. District Councillor fits with those people listed with that appendage. Incidentally Paddy C, I neglected to mention that all of the mourners listed appeared to be male. Women did not rate a mention either in the "General Attendance" or amongst the "Chief Mourners", ie immedi...

Letters after a name
I have been trying to identify individuals in a long list of mourners attending the funeral of Honor Murphy(1835-1902). I have the advantage that this funeral took place only one year after the 1901 census, so the census becomes particularly relevant for cross-matching the names. Many of the names i...

Regarding my Murphy search above, I first put "Edmond Murphy" in the search box and came up with (amongst other things) the following excerpt from the Cork Examiner: “ Mr.Edmond Murphy, of Mount, in the parish of Clondigad, has been fully committed to the county jail.charged with conspiring to attac...

Re: British Newspaper Archive launched today
With a small amount of searching I turned up an 1844 article stating that one of the Ballynacally Murphys had been committed to jail. I have yet to obtain a copy of the full article, but it looks like opening up a whole new juicy line of research.
Happy hunting.

Re: Why was February so popular for marriage?
Thanks for that info. Certainly I remember Pancake Tuesday during my upbringing, but I wasn't aware of its implication for Irish marriages. Taking another look at the Kilmihil marriages it is obvious that they come in a rush. A good example is Feb 1857 when 17 weddings took place, culminating with f...

Why was February so popular for marriage?
Recently I was examining genealogical data for Kilmihil Parish available at http://www.kilmihil.com/?page_id=17. Because of the data format it is a simple matter to arrange it by month, so I thought it might be interesting to look at the most popular months for marriages to take place. Marriages bet...

National Probate Calendar
Many thanks to Tom McDowell for his extractions of Clare names from the NPC which have just appeared in the Library's What's New Box. This listing is just bursting with useful genealogical info. I feel sure that many researchers will be able to extract from it their own snippets of data as I have ju...
