.... and was her name Shean previously ? (oldest Holly child is 7, but a son Richard Shean is 26)

My recommendation would be to get the Birth Cert of one of the kids shown in 1891, to reveal Annie's former names - and their Dad !

[raine]

Looking at Richard - the closest I could get to a Birth entry (and the only Welsh one in a +/- 2 year period):-

Births Sep 1866 
 
Sheehan  Richard     Swansea  v11a p593



and it looks like that 1871 Margaret Shean GrandMother was also called Sheehan in 1861 ...
