I am almost positive that your Sharkey family is related to ours! I have been researching the Sharkey line in our family for over a decade, but searching for info on the west coast is very difficult when you live on the east coast, not to mention I have been out of commission for awhile and am finally trying to get back on track with my research. Here goes! I KNEW my Sharkey family was from NY and some eventually ended up out in Yuba County,California, but also figured a relation to the Sierra county Sharkeys, especially when I saw that census info of Mary with the Henderson's; But with no other info, I wasn't able to make a connection. At one point I thought maybe it was the Myles Sharkey family. (Actually I think they are probably somehow related too). Anyway, When I saw this post, 2 things jumped off the page! One was the Mary Sharkey in Sierra County California and the second was the name (Norilla); spelled Morrilla on the NY census with Sara (Snowden) Faxon: Daughter of Mary Sharky and I think it was William? Snowden. It has been a long and winding road but I am finally here! My Sharkey family settled in Brooklyn,NY so besides Sierra and Yuba county CA, this family also has ties to ALbany, NY, Canada and probably MA as well. Was hoping maybe you could help me connect the dots: Do you have any info on Elizabeth's Father / Mary's Husband? If I am correct about being related, he will be the son of Cormick Sharkey b.1800 Ireland! Do you have the Maiden name of Elizabeth's mother: Mary Sharkey? Haven't come across the name Morillo/Murillo.etc.. before or after that census info till now. Who can have that name- unless your families are somehow related? Can you tell me where it comes from? Someones maiden name? PS: Do you know of any connection to a Hugh Sharkey? Looking forward to hearing from you!
