Hi Joan, I know you gave me info before, but I have another relative looking for Mary Jane Delaney married to Cornelius Shea. She is looking for Mary Jane's (Jennie's) Mother's name, you don't have that in your records?? I know you had a wedding date for her, could I trouble you for it again.
Many thanks for all your help.

Genevieve was my husband's mom and we are trying to trace her mother, Mary Jane Delaney, back to Newfoundland. We don't know when she was married, but believe it was in Gloucester. We have no immigration records. If anyone can help, it would be appreciated.

Re: Cornelius Shea From Cork

Lapoika123 — 2012-05-08 20:46:17Z

Thank you...Geneveive Cornelia Shea was my Dad's cousin. Her sister Margarurite Shea Donovan made visits to my Dad Francis "Jeep" Shea in Marblehead.

Searching for birth records for Amy Mary (or Mary Amy) Shea born 1907 or 1908 in Cambridge or close to Boston. From the family of Thomas F. and Mary Agnes Hyland who lived in the Cambridge area.

William M. Healy was married to Genevieve Cornelia Shea. I know this because I'm married to William M. Healy, their son.

Re: Cornelius Shea From Cork

Lapoika123 — 2012-04-18 14:52:23Z

I know this has been a long time in responding.If you have Cornelius and Catherine in your data base, do you have birth places for either one? I have come to a road block. I did hear from Bill Healy letting me know Marguerite Shea Donovan had passed away on 12-11-2005. Genevieve Shea Healy had passed away on 8-24-2006. Any help would be a great heal. Thank you Kathy

PS It's possible the Cornelus may have live for a short time in Cambridge, I have not info on that.

Hi! Trying to research my mother-in-laws family and while I can go back pretty far on her father's side-information stops at her mother and the ONLY thing I found on her was her death information. I am going crazy hitting this roadblock and any information would be appreciated!!!

Catherine Shea County Longford

sgreach — 2012-03-16 23:08:29Z

My great great grandmother, Catherine M. Shea, was born in 1833 in County Longford, Ireland. She married Mr. (Michael)Lawler and they had a daughter, Elizabeth M., in 1872. (Michael) Lawler was an Irishman serving in India for the British military in the Bengal War. They immigrated from Ireland to Saratoga Springs, New York in 1885-6. I am looking for any information on the birth of Catherine M. Shea in County Longford, Ireland and her marriage to Mr. Lawler so that I can track the birth of Elizabeth.

Any connection is probable. Do you have any idea where the brothers were born, who their parents were or if they siblings? Might be the same line I am tracking.

Can you tell me a little about the Patrick Shea. Do you have any idea of where in Kerry he came from or the name/names of his parents. Do you know anything about Mary Ellen Shea? Name of parents, where she was born, etc. It is conceivable that he is from the same line that I am tracking.

kathipinney — 2012-03-09 23:05:20Z

IN MY FAMILY.. Daniel was married to Catharine Galvin and Patrick was his son. Daniel born 1810 -1866. Daniel's father was also a Patrick born in 1780. My great granfather is a Patrick and he was born in 1844-1880. He had catharine, emma, elizabeth, daniel, john, james mary. Look at my tree it is called Shea/Borthwick. It is open. Search Patrick James and follow that line and see if this is what you are looing for. I grew up in Worcester but live in CA now .. but we go back to Worcester as all my family is there.

Re: Shea/Shay Research in Worcester Co., MA

jordankat1 — 2012-03-09 17:48:57Z

Hi Kathi,
I've finally been able to look at my info...What a mess I have!
My Daniel was born about 1820, so I don't think we have the same family, I don't see where there is a connection. Good luck in your search. I have put this away for quite awhile out of frustration, but I'm getting my enthusiasm back.
Thanks for your input.

The Shea family listed in the last post by kathipinney are also my relatives but I cannot find a relation to your Shea's
I would be happy to mail you the birth and marriage records if you provide me with an address. You can email to me at djeansnow@roadrunner.com

LCTaylor86 — 2011-12-16 19:09:23Z

Richard's wife is Mary [Mayme; Mamie] F[Francis] born around 1871. Records show that her parents are from Ireland and she was born in Iowa. Her and Richard married around 1892. Richard passed away at some point between 1900 and 1910. In 1910 Mary has moved to Colorado with her children and is remarried by 1920. Richards parents were John and Winifred Shea. Some people have Mary's last name as Smith but I don't know where they got this.

Re: Daniel and Ellen Shea Family From Sneem, Kenmare

MikeSaunders65 — 2011-11-10 16:06:10Z

If you go this site, click on Europe, and you will find the Ireland, Civil Registration Indexes 1845-1958. You can search for her birth registration in Kenmare, There are several Hannah Shea and several Mary/Marie Shea ca 1903. That's what makes it difficult if you don't know an exact birth date and as you can see the registrations are done by quarter.

https://www.familysearch.org/

Re: Daniel and Ellen Shea Family From Sneem, Kenmare

LorraineTobin62 — 2011-11-10 02:10:29Z

The private Tobin tree is mine. That's what I found on Colonel along with 1910 & 1920 census. He worked for the LI railroad that's on the marriage cert. I just can't find any info in 1930. I was told they had an infant Charles or John he died when he was only a few months old. Then my grandfather just left Hanna and my mother. My mom stay with different families while my grandmother worked so maybe she used her maiden name? I don't know it's a mystery.

Thank you, Mike for all your help and the birth registration link.

Re: Daniel and Ellen Shea Family From Sneem, Kenmare

MikeSaunders65 — 2011-11-09 16:16:02Z

Rather confusing information. If she married in 1929, why would she be enumerated as Shea rather than Black in 1930 albeit I can't find a Colonel Black in NY in 1930? According to your private Tobin Tree, Colonel Black was born ca 1905 in Mississippi. There is a Colonel C. Black who was born in 1905 in Mississippi died in Conn. 1989 but according to my research he was married to one Stella Glister Black.

Civil registration in Ireland began ca 1884. Consequently, you can order a birth registration for Hannah from the General Register Office. See: http://www.groireland.ie/index.html.

Beyond that it doesn't appear I can be of any further help.
