If you search Griffiths Evaluation (1847-1854) here:- http://griffiths.askaboutireland.ie/gv4/gv_family_search_form.php You will find 17 references to John McShane in Armagh and 3 in Tyrone. Was he still in Ireland around 1850? He could be one of these landholders if he was. -------------------------- Barry Graham Melbourne, Australia
