You might find Daniel's marriage record at this website; also any other children. I hope this is helpful.

Patricia, thank you so much. I have seen this birth info and if that is what you find as well it is more confirming. Nora actually gave a different birth date (2/22) and year (1858), but I have read there may have been reasons for immigrants to do this and it was actually not that uncommon. I did try to find a marriage record and there does appear to be one RECORD IDENTIFIER KY-RC-MA-52643 Book # N/R Page 198 Entry Number N/R. The church register page containing this record has not yet been imaged. I have a date 24Feb 182, the name of husband and wife Daniel Shea Address "Drina" and Honora Lyne and the name of their witnesses Michael Godfry and Daniel Lyne. What I would really like to see is if Daniel and Honora's father and mother are on the marriage record. Is there a process to see what is on this unimaged record? Again, thank you so much for your quick response ... Katie

Hi Katie,

The transcription for your Honora's baptism says her birth date is based on other information. So it could be off.

The transcription for Daniel Shea/Honora Lyne's marriage record says the parents' names are not recorded.  However, I think I may have found the parents of Honora Lyne, as shown in this record of baptism for Hanora Lyne of Drinagh...,

NameHONORA LYNE
