Tipperary / Re: Dwyer and Shanahan from RC Parish Borrisoleigh
« on: Monday 17 January 11 03:22 GMT (UK) »
Hi Gay,
I find him in America but I'm having trouble tracing him back to his homeland. He claimed to have been born in 1810 and to have come from Tipperary, but I know that the birth year is often off. His wife, Margaret's obit suggests they married in Ireland shortly before immigrating. So I'm looking for a Michael Shanahan who married a Margaret in Ireland between 1840-1846.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
