KerryKilliney (Kerry)

Lookig for my Grandmothers relatives. My grandmothers Father was John Lucid born 1866 where ? Mother was a Ellen Wilson..... My grandmother was Matilda Lucid born Dec. 25th 1887 Ennis, county Clare,. Immigrated in 1903 to San Fransisco USA. Married Eugene David Shea in Pinole California. Miltilda had a brother George Lucid and a sister Mollie Lucid.

My Grandfathers family was A Michael O'Shea and his mother was a Ellen Courtney. I believe they were from Castlegregory ,Kerry? My Grandfather Eugene David Shea immigrated to San Fransisco in 1899. Residing in Pinole California. My Father Eugene David Shea JR has a cousin Kevin Shea in "firies Killarney" i believe they live in County Kerry?

Dear Mary Ellen, I'm sorry for the delay in getting back to you.

I wonder if this might be the right family?

Notice that Courtney is spelled Cournane

This looks like the same family in 1901 in the Census

but I'd be glad if you would check it against what you know.

Do let me know if any of this helps.
