In honor of St. Patrick's Day reposting my research brickwalls in Limerick - Michael Shea b. ca 1812-1881 and wife Mary Farrell b. ca 1812-1888 married someplace in co. Limerick - children ?John b. 1841, Mary Bridget b. 1843,(my great grandmother) Michael b 1846 in Ireland (John's relationship to this family is uncertain) At least three other children were born after they arrived in the US either in Vermont or Canada : Thomas, Francis and William. Immigrated to US before 1850 and settled in St. Johnsbury, Vermont. Family tombstone gives Limerick as place of origen in Ireland. Maureen
