Looking for Thomas M Sheehan author "Irish from the Grove"
« on: Sunday 15 March 09 11:17 GMT (UK) »
As a Garravane man, who was brought up on the farm once owned by the Lynchs, with neighbours Murphys, Finnegans, and Sheehan, I am most interested to learn about the American connection.

Hi
I was interested to hear about the Finnegan neighbours.

I am looking for any information about Patrick Finnegan (Finnigan) born in the 1830s in the Ballinasloe area. His father was John, a farmer. The family moved to Salford England before 1859 where Patrick married Mary Smith, also from the Ballinasloe area.

Has anyone else got any information about them.
Thanks

My father, David Sheehan, was born in Garravane in 1900.  He was very proud of his Garravane and Irish heritage.
