James Shannon Birth 1790 -1806 aprox

Inver (Antrim)Killaghtee (Donegal)Raymoghy (Donegal)Inver (Donegal)

Hi I am trying to trace my 3rd great grandfather James Shannon born aprox 1790 - 1806 I have managed to trace his son Thomas Shannon ( see other post Thomas Shannon / Jane Lochard ) .

Thomas was married twice, first to Jane Gorrel, then Jane Lochard. Both marriage certificates state his fathers name was James. I have had connections on ancestry for James Shannon but they were all born much later ( 1820 - 1904 ) & I cannot find the connection to my 2nd Great Grandfather Thomas. 

There is also a connection to another Thomas Shannon Born Milngavie Dumbartonshire, my late father said he had an old aunt Agnes Shannon who had a shop in 

Gallowgate Glasgow & an old uncle who was from Milngavie. I have managed to trace them but again cannot make the connection to my father William Shannon Born 1925.

I am also looking for more information for my 2nd great grandmother Jane Lochard 1832 aprox - 1902  Have marriage cert Killaghtee 1860 to Thomas Shannon & death cert 1902 Rossilly

Thank You In Advance

Hi Roger, Patricia,  thank you both. The post 2021 was actually myself. I've just come to a standstill again with James Shannon & Jane Lochard.

I don't have any early information on Jane Lochard or Thomas Shannon but I believe Lochard surname is French, from what I can see.

Urusula,

FamilySearch gives the following about Lochard:

Lockhard Name Meaning

Scottish and English: nickname from Old French locart, a Normanno-Picard form of Old French lo(s)chart ‘one who squints, who is cross-eyed’, attested in 13th- and 14th-century Arras (Pas-de-Calais) as Louchard, Lochard, Locard and Locart. It is a derivative of Latin luscus ‘one-eyed’. In France Locard is mostly found in Normandy (especially Calvados) c. 1900, while Louchart is mainly concentrated in Pas-de-Calais at the same time.
