My grandmother was Annie Sheehan, who married Harry Leary and later lived in Melrose, MA. Since both my father and his mother died quite young, we do not have much family history. She was born in about 1883 and we believe her mother was Margaret Keating. Did you find any information on Annie Sheehan?

Mary - I've come across an Annie (Anna) Sheehan who was the daughter of William and Bridget Sheehan.  She was on a ship manifest in May 1904 with her sister Mary and cousin David going to Fall River.  Although her Mom and 3 of her siblings (Patrick, Mary and Michael) went to the US first in 1894 to Fall River.  According to the ship manifest in 1904 she was 22 at the time. Barbara - thanks for the info, quite a few years ago I contacted Riobard and got info about Denis Sheehan, his wife Mary Downing and their descendants including my great grandmother Georgina Sheehan.  In my recent research I found a John Patrick Sheehan, born Jan 3, 1894 and arrived in the US in 1915 and was joining his cousins (children of Patrick Sheehan (son of Denis Sheehan and Mary Downing) and Julia O'Sullivan Sheehan.  In his naturalization papers it said his father was Patrick Sheehan but not sure how he's connected to my Sheehans From: Mary Leary via <beara@rootsweb.com> To: "beara@rootsweb.com" <beara@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, April 6, 2015 3:26 AM Subject: Re: [BEARA] BEARA Digest, Vol 10, Issue 28 My grandmother was Annie Sheehan, who married Harry Leary and later lived in Melrose, MA.  Since both my father and his mother died quite young, we do not have much family history.  She was born in about 1883 and we believe her mother was Margaret Keating.  Did you find any information on Annie Sheehan?
