I checked the 1901 census and found a Johanna O'Shaughnessy living with her unmarried sons Michael and John on William St. in Ashkeaton. (I'm assuming this is the mother of Patrick Shaughnessy).

I could not locate Johanna in the 1911 census (or Michael and John) but did find a James O'Shaughnessy on William St. who was married and had a number of young children. Possibly he was a brother to Patrick. I'm assuming Johanna died between 1901 and 1911. You can go to www.nationarchives.ie to search for her and Michael and John if you want. Possibly they moved from Ashkeaton. www.familysearch.org is a good site for searching for birth, marriage and death index records.
