Let's keep each other's information and see what we come up with down the road. I suspect John Shannon's father may have been Martin. Nora Lynch's father was Martin, but this family was too tradition-oriented NOT to name the first son for the father's father ..... unless John did not know his father's name. Vincent McCue would hav been born ca. 1890, I believe.
