Offaly (Kings) / Re: shea - kellett
« on: Sunday 07 September 08 08:03 BST (UK)  »
I have just spotted your posts as I also am seeking a lead on my Great, Great, Grandmother "Honora Shea" born at Corraclevin,  Dunkerrin, Offaly (formally Kings County) Ireland.  Honora was born in 1824 and migrated to Australia as a young single person. I know little more about her but timing is similar to your George, 

Might she have been following an elder brother?

Do you have any knowledge of George's family prior to leaving Ireland

Sorry
It's Old "Happy" again.

In my excitement to get started in this I forgot to give the lady's name. I don't know if it is relevant but It may prompt a lead from somebody.

My Great, Great Grandmother was "Honora Shea" .

Re: "Corraclevin"

I'm new to this media and apologise if i'm breaking in inappropriately.

However, I have an old bible which belonged to my Great, Great grandmother, whom I know little about . She has written in the front of the book, that she was born at Corraclevin farm, Dunkerrin Kings County on the 23rd December 1834.

She apparently arrived in Australia as a young single person and I know of her marrying
near Melbourne.

Could anyone advise me whether its possible from the little I know to learn more of her origins in Ireland or if she left family members behind.

ps. I had trouble reading her hand writing and was excited to recognise Corraclevin from your previous posts

Regards
