Michael Guerin, Mary Buckley, John (Jack Guerin & Mary Ryan (Nee Guerin)

Shanagolden (Limerick)

Hi All, My name is John Kelly, All the way from Kilmallock!!

My Great Grandfather is John Guerin (Commonly known as Jack) born in Shanagolden to Michael Guerin & Mary Buckley. Jack was born 13 August 1879. His father Michael was born approx. 1845 and is listed in the 1901 census as a shoemaker in Shanagolden. Michael's wife was Mary Buckley, born approx. 1846. The marriage was in approx 1869. By trawling through the 1901 & 1911 Census i came across a sister of Jack's (A Daughter of Michael Guerin & Mary Buckley) named Mary, born in 1886. Mary married a Joseph Ryan, Born 1885. I Think the marriage was in 1906. Mary was listed as a seamstress.  Mary & Joseph had 2 Daughters (All that i could find information about) named Margaret, Born 1910 and Mary Elizabeth, Born 1911. I'm sorry i cant be more specific and 100% certain with dates but all i could get came from 2 census forms. My Great Grandfather Jack literally gave us no information whatsoever. We know zero about this branch of our family. I would love if there were any relatives still around in Shanagolden or elsewhere who could fill in any gaps. Any information would be greatly appreciated. I can be contacted through this page, or by email at jksongkran72@gmail.com or mobile 087 9136379. 

Thank You in Advance, I wish all parishes had this service!! John Kelly.

P.S. I did a quick calculation in my head, Jack Guerin has at least 88 Direct Descendants.

Hi Roger, Thank You so much for finding out this information for me, I cant believe you found it in the first place but to find it so fast is a bonus!! You have doubled our knowledge of this branch of our faamily overnight. There will be a lot of people happy to read this as we had zero knowledge before, only one or two names and unreliable dates. Thank You again for your hard work, It is very much appreciated, Your friend, John Kelly.
