    - a piper who played for Daniel O'Connell  (the Liberator). 

    I noticed a message elsewhere on web re Michael Shea having a connection  to Daniel O'Connell.

    My great grandfather Thomas Shea, born near Waterville, County Kerry December 23, 1835 (History of the Catholic Church in Indiana (1898) (online) is the son of Michael Shea, who, according to he same source, was born September 29, 1781, also in County Kerry. According to that source he was acquainted with Daniel O’Connell during their school years in Caherciveen. Michael married Joanna Tehan in Ireland and had 5 children, Four children as well as Michael emigrated to...etc UNQUOTE

     

    I am seeking the link between the O'Sheas and Connors . Michael O'Shea is mentioned in the article as an uncle. Also musicians  often had other trades such as these Connors , whom i I believe were mostly boot makers by trade as  well as talented Irish traditional musicians.

    I am happy to be contacted by email. Thanks
