O'Donnell Family

I am looking for information on Alexander and Hannah O'Donnell. They would be the parents of either Jenni L. O'Donnell or Jenni may have also have gone by the name of Joanna L O'Donnell. I think Jenni might have been a nickname for Joanna. But Jenni married my great grandfather Patrick Aloysius Sheehan. I'm looking for the date of births for both Alexander and Hannah O'Donnell. I also be needing Hannah's maiden name.

You said you knew a lot about Patrick Shhehan, and that they came from Hyde Park, unless i mis read your message.

I don't know if theres any connection, or even if they are still in Hyde Park but I worked with a lady years ago (she'd be about 60ish today I think) who lived in Hyde Park, and I think her husbands name was Sheehan,. But its a very common name in these parts, so I'm just tossing this out.
If you think it could be them, one suggestion, since I'm not in touch with this women since we both retired, is to get your hands on a phone directory(and check it out.

Good Luck again
Barbara

Barbara,
Thankyou for your suggestion and I think I may just follow up on that lead. I pretty certain that I think that Hannah's maiden name was Flynn. I know someone who lives in Ireland that I think can help me. My father tells me that his grandmother's first name was Jenni. But when I look at the records its recorded as Johanna O'Donnell, so I'm curious as to where the Jenni came into play.

Could be a "pet" "nickname" that her family gave her, and just stuck. or maybe its short for Jennifer could be her middle name etc.
