I Have just been rereading some of the messages and two things come to me. One was when you picked up the siblings of Mary Shaughnessy you didn't list William. He is my greatgrandfather. You mentioned a photo you posted - I haven't seen it so (a) where can I view it (as I am not a member of Ancestry) and (b) are you prepared to email a copy if I don't already have it. I must say that there are a few photos around although not many, and did I tell you that Mary's greatgrandson has written up the history and genealogy of the Minahans as he knows it.

Happy hunting, and I hope to hear from you.
Megan.

I have just been reading through all your messages - very interesting. As the Immediate Past President of the O'Shaughnessy Society, I can tell you that one of our members has found over 200 different spellings of our name.

When I stepped down as President last year (2008) the Society presented me with a copy of a Hiberian map of Ireland and the name is spelt O Slechtenes! The family was a big family in Galway, with a Chapel in the Monastic settlement at Kilmacduagh, Fiddaun Castle (in ruins) and Ardamullivan Castle now restored by the Irish Government. These are all in the vicinity of Gort, Co Galway where the next Rally of the Society will be held in September 2010.

There was also a large branch which moved to County Limerick where my ggrandfather William Shaughnessy was born in 1834 near Adare, before he came to Australia. The rest of his family went to the US, but I haven't succeeded in finding them all at this time.

Hope you find this info interesting.

Best wishes,

My Shaughnessy family left Birkenhead about 1883, after my great- grandfather John died in 1882. Like your post they first spent time in Quebec and then moved to Ontario. I wonder? If you have more info. might help-I have lots... Gord Shaughnessy

What clues do you have for this John Shaughnessy? Email me a copy of the letter and I will see what I can do for you. I live in Kansas City, MO area and have a great library here. My email is marybrentlinger@sbcglobal.net

Re: Shaughnessy - West Side Chicago Holy Family Parish

meganme — 2009-09-17 02:00:39Z

thank you for correcting my error. A very broad question if I may. Have you any suggestions re how I might chase up the John Shaughnessy mentioned in a letter written in 1907? Are there State census for around that time period available online? I am in Australia so it all has to be online, or at least available on film that I can order through the Mormon Church. I would appreciate any suggestions. thanks Megan.

Small correction to the Thomas O'shaughnessy who designed and made the stained glass windows in St. Patricks church in Chicago. HIs name was Thomas Augustine O'Shaughnessy notn in 2870 in Chariton County Missouri and died in 1956. He was a well known artist. His son Joseph died this year.

Thomas A's nephew married a daughter of Ignatius O'shaughnessy, Eileen from Minnesota.

Thomas Augustine also called Gus family came from Chariton and Linn Co Missouri. Originally they they came from the New Hall area in Galway Co, Ireland.

Anyone wanting more information about these Shaughnessy/O'Shaughnessys let me know because I have done a lot of research.

meganme — 2009-09-13 10:12:16Z

I am not sure I can be of any help, but hope you might be able to help me! In a family letter passed to me last year a member says "I went and found John Shaughnessy and we visited old Aunt Ellen". The letter was 1907 and the writer was in Chicago. How on earth am I going to find the right John Shaughnessy I wonder? How great it would be if my John is someone you already know of.

Did you know that the windows in Old St. Pat's Church were designed by Thomas Ignatius O'Shaughnessy. I went to Chicago on my way home to Australia last year just to see his work, and they are magnificent. Met his niece there, namely Mary O'Shaughnessy, and learnt more from her.
She was very generous in giving up her time to come and meet me and show me some sights.

Re: Shaughnessy

meganme — 2009-09-10 06:52:21Z

You have the siblings for Mary Shaughnessy correct. William, Mary, Ellen and Mortimer I can vouch were born in Adare Co Limerick as I have their baptismal records the others I can't say for certain. Our family has never recorded an O in front of their name as far back as 1832, however I place no importance on that at all as it has little meaning - some will argue with that. It really basically means the same as Mc or Mac does in Scotland, ie belonging to the family of, or the Sept of. We have recorded (The O'Shaughnessy Society) over 200 spelling variations so I guess one learns to accept all these things as we go along.

A book printed in 2005 by Michael Cowan Walter and Dinah Walter on the genealogy of their family one being Minahan, states that William Burke Minahan son of Rodger and Margaret (Burke) Minaughan was born in InishKea in 1834. He had 4 siblings. Rodger and Margaret were believed to have been married in 1827. Rodger died of pneumonia on March 31, 1882 and Margaret on December 18, 1894. Both are buried in St. Augustine's Catholic Cemetery in Chilton, Wisconsin.

the above information has been taken from the book. If you would like to make contact with the author then could I suggest you contact me privately and I will give you his email address, but I don't think it proper to put it on a newsgroup.

Thanks, and happy hunting.

Megan.

My Shaughnessy/O'Shaughnessy(Mclaughlin) family first settled in Granville, NY to work on the D&H Railroad. Two sons moved to Watervliet ( formerly known as West Troy, NY) in the very early 1900's. I have often thought there was a connection w the Troy Shaughnessys. Have you found where they came from in Ireland ?

Margaret Alice Shaughnessy married Dennis McLaughlin in Ireland . They arrived in US some time after April of 1883. Their third child, first born in US, born 1886.

Because you made this Post in 2001, I am very hopeful you still have same address. Anne Baldwin

Re: Shaughnessy

KKNiteOwl — 2009-09-09 05:17:48Z

I got the siblings from your post, so I believe I have them all: Ellen, Tom, Patrick, James, John, and Murt "Mortimer."

Are you saying they are all from Adare, County Limerick, Ireland? That may give me a clue as to where to look for WIlliam Burke Minaghan's birth place. Some records I've seen say Northern Ireland, North InishKea Islands, County Mayo. Is Limerick anywhere near there? I know in a 1981 family document it mentions that the Minahan's in Green Bay had an Island in Green Bay that they called InishKea, so I'm sure that is where their roots are from.

When was the "O" added? It is spelled that way in the photo I posted. Seem unusual they would add the "O" rather than drop it.

Thanks for your help.

Hi
my fathers grandfather John Shaughnessy was born in Galway 1826 and his grandmother Bridget Carlin in Mayo in 1831, they left Ireland and moved to England either individually or together (unknown), then married in the midlands in 1856.

I have no other real details about them as yet, apart from the possibility that Bridget may have had a brother by the name of Hugh or Byran (inconsistent info from different sources). I have no other info regarding John Shaughnessy however, I am working on that one....

Patrick's wife's name was Mary Ann and they had two sons, Bernard and Michael. His mother, Jane Mary Meehan was born approx 1808, I believe and father, Michael, born approx 1805, in Ireland. Try Arthur Township, Wellington County, Ontario, Canada. 1851 Canadian Census for Wellington County is interesting.

Patrick homesteaded in the Missoula valley for a time, along with his brother, John A., and my grandfather, Thomas W.

A charity group in Newfoundland, which is to name a new shelter for women and children after a nun from Claregalway, is hoping to locate some of her relatives to attend the dedication ceremony. Margaret O'Shaughnessy, the daughter of James and Mary O'Shaughnessy, was born in the village in 1793. She subsequently went to Canada as a member of the Presentation Order as Sister Mary Magdalen Martha. She eventually became Mother Superior of the order in St John's, and died at the age of ninety-five.

My GGfather,Dennis Scanlon(11/23/1855 - 01/18/1930) was from county of Limerick, IR. His parents were Thomas Scanlon and Mary Shaughnessy. Dennis eventually settled in Binghamton,NY. He married Mary Ryan who was from was from Kilfinan,Limerick. Dennis and Mary met over in the states so I'm not sure if they were from the same area of Limerick. So I don't know if Kilfinan is near where your Shaughnessy family is from but these relatives of mine were all from the county of Limerick.

Mary Shaughnessy nee Keating originally from Co Cork Ireland

maria_dobson — 2008-09-19 20:31:24Z

Hi I am trying to find informaion on Mary Shaughness need Keating, I don't have much information on the Shaughnessy connection below is the information I have on Mary and her family prior to her marriage I think she arrived at Ellis Island in 1912 age 17 approx, from records I have found I am pretty sure that all the family moved to NY between 1902 and 1924.

Mary was from Midlton Co Cork, she was the daughter of Patrick Keating and Margaret Hennessy.

Patrick and Margaret married on 16 May 1897 in Lisgoold Co Cork Ireland, witness John Keating and Mary Donovan.

They appear in the census in 1901 in 61 William Street Midleton Co Cork.

The children appear in the census in 1911 in 37 William Street Nr Midleton Co Cork living with their aunt

Children

Mary Keating born approx 1897?
Laurence Keating born approx 11.9.1998
Patrick Keating born approx 1901
William Keating born approx 1903
Johanna Keating born approx 1904

I have found several entry's for Ellis Island and from details found on the ships passenger information I am pretty sure that Mary married and her name changed to Shaughnessy as there is an entry against Johanna's information saying she was visiting her sister Mrs M Shaughnessy

Hi Mary

I'm descended from a William Shaughnessy who emmigrated to the Milton/Bolton Mass. area with his brothers Patrick and Edmund and his sister Bridgit in the early 1800s.

I have some information of their marriages and progeny after their arrival, but I have little information about these four before this arrival other than that they were from the Galway/Mayo area.

I am part of a rather large network of siblings and cousins of my generation and their offspring etc. (I'm now 60). I'd be happy to share any of that with other Shaughnessys... and I'd be interested in learning about the background of any of these "original" Shaughnessys from our tree... and any connections to others on either side of the pond that you or others may be aware of.

Thanks

John
