I found some of the info you are looking for on the subscription site Roots Ireland.I located baptismal records for Elizabeth and three of her siblings. One of the records showed Lisdoogan townland which is in Kilmorgan civil parish which borders Emlaghfad. I was unable to locate a marriage record for Samuel Bell and Jane and also the marriage for George Shannon and Elizabeth Bell. I did find two baptismal records in the Easkey Church of Ireland parish for children of George Shannon but his wife was shown as Isabella. Don't know when they left Ireland.

Thank you Roger McDonnell for searching and locating her sibs names and info for me. I will continue trying to solve this mystery....... Family story states that Shannon was beneath Bell's station and father was quite displeased with their marriage. I found their marriage at
