Hi Polly,

I'm Neasán's mother and not the best at this kind of thing.
I do know that my grandfather John Sheridan was the son of John Sheridan and Margaret Thornton - she died in 1905 as far as I know.
Neasán has sent the link on to my sister who has done some digging into the family tree and I have also sent it to a cousin that also might be able to help.
It's the same John Sheridan ok.

Hopefully one of the others will get back with some better information.

Mairéad

Hi Polly,
I'm afraid my knowledge of that side of my family is limited at best.
I have sent a link to this forum to my aunt who knows more than I do about this stuff, and hopefully she'll be able to help you out.
Regards, Neasán

Hi Polly.
The John Sheridan you mention was my great-Grandfather, and was indeed intimately involved with Shamrock Rovers. (According to family lore he was one of the founding members but this seems unlikely given the dates.)
My mother tells me the address and job etc match up.
I knew his son Martin well, sadly he passed away 5 years ago at the ripe old age of 96.
I didn't know that John was responsible for the famous hoops, but I'll wear that badge with honour now.
