James T Sheahan C1889 Wexford Died 18/12/1959 Wexford

[Laurie1]

Hello I am posting to see if any relatives of Mr James T Sheahan will reply.
I am related to his sister Annie Sheahan who married Walter Piper.

I am also seeking genealogy enquiries to this family. My initial enquiries show that there were several Sheahan families in or about Gurrawn, Enniscorthy , Wexford all being named similar.

Have you checked the Surname Interests Board?  Link at bottom of this page under Tools

Have you checked to see if anybody has a tree on either Ancestry or Family Search?

[Laurie1]

Thanks for the advice however I am not a member of Ancestry etc.

I raised a point to see I any family member comes across my query

Thank you.

James Thomas SHEEHAN married Julia DUNNE on Aug 17 1932 in Poulpeasty, Wexford LINK

He was baptised in Enniscorthy on Jul 08 1889 and his marriage is recorded on his baptism record
His parents are shown as John SHEEHAN and Sarah CONNORS

There is a civil record online for his birth as John Thomas SHEAHAN LINK
His parents are shown as John SHEAHAN and Sarah O'CONNOR

This is the family on the 1901 census LINK
and on the 1911 census; the parents and three sons LINK

This information may help someone to recognise the family

Thank you for taking the time and trouble to search, the data is appreciated. Especially Sarah Connors as I could not trace that information.

You're welcome - glad to be of help
www.irishgenealogy.ie has civil records and is pretty user friendly if you want to search for the other children
Some I could see immediately but I didn't look too hard!

The baptism records are on a paid site
Unfortunately the free access https://registers.nli.ie/parishes/0593 does not go past 1880

They do show that Mary SHEAHAN m William BATES on Nov 15 1924 in Tottenham, England
and Laurence SHEAHAN m Teresa MOYLAN on Jan 31 1914 in Marylebone, London

Thank you for the reply. These are siblings to my Great Grandmother. I sadly cannot locate her I have her DOB as 23/03/1880 but Rathkeale have a registration of 1881 and on the census she is even younger. Scratch head time.

With being house bound had time on my hands - stop scratching!
