Hello, 

I am researching my Shanahan lineage.  For years it has stopped at William Henry Shanahan who listed John Shanahan and Ellen Morehead as his parents on a marriage license.  William was born in Ireland in 1855 or 1856.  

In my research, I found a John Shanahan whose father is also John Shanahan and was married to Margret Carrol (from the Irish National Archives).  I don't know if this is a connection or not.  I cannot find verification of WIlliam's birth or confirm which John Shanahan from Ireland is his father.

My 2 latest clues are a gravestone in Adare and an entry about a will of a John Shanahan with an Ellen as the executor.
