HI Jean ! SORRY TO SAY i HAVE NO CLUE AS TO WHERE THESE MCSHANE FAMILY CAME FROM IN IRELAND. MY HUSBAND'S GREAT GRANDFATHER WAS PATRICK MCSHANE HE SERVED IN THE US CIVIL WAR. I GOT HIS MILITARY AND PENSION RECORDS. ALSO HIS ENLISTEMENT PAPERS; SOMEWHERE ON A DOCUMENT HE SAID HE WAS FROM COUNTY MONAGHAN. BUT THEN AGAIN I DON;T REALLY KNOW. HIS YOUNGER SON CHRISTOPHER MCSHANE WAS BORN IN RHODE ISLAND IN 1862. PATRICK'S WIFE DIED IN 1864. I CAN NOT LOCATE A DEATH RECORD. ALL I HAVE IS A BURIAL RECORD AT OLD ST MARY'S CEMETERY IN WHAT IS NOW WEST WARWICK, RI IN 1884 CHRISTOPHER MCSHANE MARRIED A MARARGET ANDERSON [?HICKEY]. THEY HAD A STILLBORN SON IN OCTOBER 1865. IN APRIL 1888 THEY HAD A 2ND SON GEORGE EDWARD MCSHANE. SOMETIME BETWEEN 1888 AND JUST BEFORE 1900 MARGARET AND CHRISTOPHER EITHER DIVORCED OR SHE DIED. THIS IS MY GREATEST BRICK WALL. I CAN NOT FIND MARGARET MCSHANE. DEAD OR ALIVE SOMEWHERE. GEORGE MCSHANE MARRIED MARY FITZPATRICK IN APRIL 1912. THEY HAD 3 CHILDREN : JOHN , THOMAS AND HELEN. JOHN WAS BORN IN 1915. THOMAS IN 1916 AND HELEN IN 1917. IN OCTOBER 1918 GEORGE DIED OF COMPLICATIONS TO THE GREAT FLU EPIDEMIC. HE WAS 30 YRS OLD. BEFORE HE WAS MARRIED HE LIVED WITH HIS GRANDMOTHER'S SISTER SARAH RUSSELL CONLEY. I WAS TOLD THAT HE LIVED WITH THEM ALL THE TIME HE WAS GOING TO SCHOOL. AND THAT HE WENT BY GEORGE CONLEY FOR YRS. THERE WAS I THINK A DISCONNECT FROM HIS FATHER CHRISTOPHER.... I CAN NOT BE SURE OF THIS ... BUT WHEN THOMAS, JOHN AND HELEN WERE SMALL HE CAME TO VISIT THEM ON CHRISTMAS DAY AND THOUGHT HE WOULD SPEND THE NIGHT... HOWEVER HIS DAUGHTER-IN-LAW'S SISTER MADE IT CLEAR THAT THEY HAD 'NO ROOM FOR HIM' SO OFF HE WENT NEVER TO SEE HIS GRANDCHILDREN FOR MANY YRS TO COME. HE DIED IN OCTOBER 1946 LIVING ALONE IN CT. HE IS BURIED THERE ALSO IN A 'BORROWED GRAVE' FROM I COULD FIND OUT. I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF HE HAS A HEADSTONE.... OR EXACTLY WHAT CEMETERY HEIS BURIED IN. MY HUSBAND'S FATHER WAS THOMAS AND THIS FROM WHOM I GOT THIS INFO. THOMAS DIED IN AUGUST 2003. I THOUGHT MAYBE WHEN WE WENT THRU HIS 'STUFF' WE WOULD FIND SOME INFO.... BUT FOUND NOTHING...... SO WHAT I HAVE ON THE MCSHANES I CAN FIT ON 2 OR 3 8X10 INCH PAPERS.... DOES NOT SAY MUCH....... BUT I KEEP LOOKING HOPING I CAN FIND SOMETHING SOMEWHERE.... THANKS/MARIE\ PS: ARE YOU A MCSHANE ??????
