Looking for information on a Michael Shea born around 1853 married a Hannah Casey 1852-1929. Emigrated to the U.S. around 1875. Also any information for Hannah Casey would be wonderful. Possible parents for Michael are Denis Shea (Dionisii Shea) and Bridget Quirk (Brigidae Quirk) . Bridget birth as possibly 1829.
Thank you
Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!
I was not able to locate a church or civil marriage record for Michael and Hannah. Where di Michael and Hannah live in America?

Roger McDonnell, they lived in Rhode Island. Had a daughter named Catherine Shea. From what I understand Michael was born in Kerry, Ireland. I'm mainly looking for information on his parents. Both born in Kerry, Ireland and probably married there as well.
I searched on the free site www.irishgenealogy.ie and did not locate a Bridget Quirke marriage record to a Denis Shea in Co. Kerry.
I did some searching on Ancestry.com but did not find any strong leads for Michael and Hannah in America.

Roger, thanks. That's the problem I'm having. I can't get any further.
Roger, what about a a John Quirke and Ann Riordan(looks like both maybe B:1805, or close) as possible parents for Bridget (Brigid) Quirke? Possible siblings as Mary Quirke (1827-1903) Margaret Quirke (1831-) Gobnait (Debra) Quirke (1834-1916) Michael Quirke(1836-) Patrick Quirke(1837-1925) Ann Quirke(1845-) ? All in Kerry
I did searches on www.irishgenealogy.ie (free site) and Roots Ireland (subscription) and did not find any records. Many RC parishes in Kerry do not have records back to 1829.

Roger, thank you
