SHEEHY/SHEEHAN in Skibbereen - MYSTERY WOMAN in the grave
There is an unknown person in my great grandfather's grave (John SHEEHAN in Massachusetts) and I am hoping her details would provide a clue as to his origins. The woman's death certificate from 1907 says her name was Mary SHEEHAN, widow of Daniel and daughter of Patrick SHEEHY and Abigail MURRAY.
Online records have identified her marriage in Skibbereen as well as her birth and that of 4 other SHEEHY siblings.
The SHEEHY family is listed as of Lackahane:
1817 Mary
1820 Bridget
1821 Catherine (index has Johanna)
1824 Mary
1827 Ann.
Mary SHEEHY married Daniel SHEEHAN in 1848 and I found only 3 possible baptisms for their children: 1852 Bridget, 1859 Elizabeth, 1862 Jane.
I do know from US records that there was at least another son, John b,c, 1865 .I have not yet found immigration records; there was also possibly a son Jeremiah.
I am trying to flesh out this family more to see if I can eventually prove or disprove a relationship.
My ancestor was John SHEEHAN, son of Patrick and Mary HALEY, b.c. 1852.
Any further info re records in Skibbereen that might shed light on the mystery woman in the grave would be appreciated.
