Patrick O'Shea, the father, came to the United States "in advance" of the family. He died during the crossing and was buried at sea. The mother's maiden name was Catherine Roach and she stayed in Ireland. She died in 1882. I'm looking for relatives of William Patrick O'Shea (1839-1912). He was born in Cahir, Tipperary, Ireland in 1839 and first came to the US about 1854. He traveled and returned to the US about 1869. He had brothers in Massachusetts or Connecticut according to sources, and I believe stayed with them in 1854 and again in 1869. I'm hoping that someone else out there has a family story about a relative dying during the trip to the United States. The rest of William O'Shea's life is pretty well documented, but I know nothing of his possible siblings back East or much about the parents in Ireland...
