Nicholas Flanneryand Mary Sheilds/Sheil had 5 children. Joseph, Michaelem, Brigidam/Bridget, Maria, Nicholas andCatherine. Nicholas diedJune 1883 in the parish of Lissonuffy. Mary had a brother named Patrick who came toPhiladelphia with Joseph Flannery about 1849. Theymarriedsisters. Joseph married Winefred Haverty and Patrick married Julia Haverty.The two families moved to Burlington, Iowa. I would like to know about the Sheilds and where Nicholas and Mary were buried. We found their home in Coggalstack and have pictures.

I would contact the Catholic church in Strokestown. The Lissonuffy church and cemetery are part of the Strokestown parish.
