Hi,

I really appreciate your taking the time to do this for me.  Looks like a real break through.  The right year and parents' names that are a very logically alterred match.  This gives me something to work on.

Thanks for the name of that website also.  True, I have looked a lot in ancestry.com over the years.  I guess I should have started looking into Irish genealogy sites sooner.  I'm glad I stumbled across Ireland XO.

Thanks again, Jeff Johnson

 

I hope you get my reply since I'm not real familiar with this website.

 

 

 

Hi, Brendan ---

I really appreciate your answering my Jeremiah Shannon query.  You know what a breakthrough this is for me after many years of searching.  I got to Jeremiah in the late 1970's and that was as far as I got.  I wrote a lot of letters, some to genealogy places and archives in Dublin, but nothing ever turned up.  When the internet came out, I searched sites there, like ancestry.com, also.  I don't know how I came upon this Ireland XO site the other day, but what a godsend.

Of course this may not be a match, but one can't come much closer.  The birth/baptism year matches the birth year I figured from Jeremiah's burial record in Quebec, and the parents' names are awfully close to those on his marriage record --- a very high percentage of being a match, I would say.  Now I've something to work with to begin to search again, now for corroborating data. 

And having these new websites will be very nice also.

Thank you very much again,

Jeff Johnson

 

 

 

 

Hi Jeff,

 

The records are transcribed records, the correct spelling should be Madigan.

 

Brendan

Hi Jeff,

 

I forgot to say the records are in Latin.

 

Jacobi = James

Mariae = Mary

 

Brendan

 

Thanks, Brendan ---

I thought it was Latin, but I was wondering why.  Thanks very much again,

 

Jeff

Hi Jeff,

 

Newspaper article June 11 1840, Jeremiah was a bricklayer.

The honourable and learned gentleman next read the following letter from the biicklayers : — SIR — V>, the undersigned operative ancient bricklayers of the city of Dublin, beg you will have the kindness to present our subscriptions (_"101J for 200 to the Repeal Rent, and most respectfully request you will honour us by proposing our names to be enrolled as Repealers on the books of the Reneal Association.

Hi, Brendan ---

That's pretty interesting that he originally was a bricklayer.  He is listed as a farmer on all the Canadian censuses here.  He lived at the small village of Cap d'Espoir, Quebec, on the south shore of the Gaspe Peninsula.  I believe that in Cap d'Espoir you were probably a farmer or maybe a fisherman.

Thanks very much for that aritcle.

I'm working on familiarizing myself with the parish and church, the church now and the church then.  I'm just starting to get into it.

Sincere thanks to the 2 of you who opened this up for me.

Jeff

 

Hi Jeff,

Jeremiah was born in the parish of St. Nicholas, this was an inner city parish in Dublin, I believe he was a bricklayer before he emigrated, he became a farmer after he was granted land.

 

Brendan

Hi, Brendan ---

Without imposing on you too much, I'm wondering if you could answer me one more question.

This website tries to guide a person to the parish his ancestors came from.  I now know my province is Leinster, and my county is Dublin.  I'm not sure which parish would be Jeremiah's.  I presume that it would be either St. Nicholas Within or St. Nicholas Without --- if this can be determined.  I've tried to figure out those churches in 1814 and which it might be.  St. Nicholas Within seems most likely to me.  Is it possible to certain?

Thanks for all you help,

Jeff

Hi Jeff.

Just found this website and saw your post here.

Jeremiah Shannon is also my great great grandfather!

My grandfather (John Michael Shannon) was one of the children of Jeremiah's son ....also named Jeremiah.

This is very interesting, as I have been trying to find more information on him as well.  I am also on Ancestry.  Have you tried the DNA testing on Ancestry yet?

I was very surprised to see this picture of Jeremiah.  He greatly resembles my 88 year old father!  It looks like the big bushy eyebrows really passed down through the years, as my dad has them also. :)

My email address is  triciashannon@comcast.net if you would like to connect regarding our family history.  I grew up in Duluth, MN and now live in the Twin Cities area.  My family is still in Duluth.

Hi, Tricia ---

I sent you an email a couple weeks ago to the address you gave above.  Maybe it didn't go through.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Just found this post....to Brendan Joseph if you are still a member....the newspaper article from 1840 with Jerimiah signing would be which Jerimiah? Is it pissible he's a son of another Shannon? Our James b1770 was in Quebec with wife and Jerimiah b1815..Catherine b1818 and 4 other children b 1821 to 1826....is it possible he returned to Dublin as we find no death record in Quebec. Or his son returned to Dublin and was a bricklayer and after the 1840 petition came back to Quebec and married in 1846? Jacobus (James) would have been 70 in 1940 while his son jerimiah would have been 25. Just trying to figure out a timeline. I think I need to find death records at this point for Jacobus and perhaps Mary Madigan....(I have a possibly one in Quebec for Mary Madigan. .but none for Mary Shannon).

Also would like to know what the article petition really means...in layman terms.

Sorry 1840 not 1940.
