Hi All, My name is John Kelly, All the way from Kilmallock!!

My Great Grandfather is John Guerin (Commonly known as Jack) born in Shanagolden to Michael Guerin & Mary Buckley. Jack was born 13 August 1879. His father Michael was born approx. 1845 and is listed in the 1901 census as a shoemaker in Shanagolden. Michael's wife was Mary Buckley, born approx. 1846. The marriage was in approx 1869. By trawling through the 1901 & 1911 Census i came across a sister of Jack's (A Daughter of Michael Guerin & Mary Buckley) named Mary, born in 1886. Mary married a Joseph Ryan, Born 1885. I Think the marriage was in 1906. Mary was listed as a seamstress.  Mary & Joseph had 2 Daughters (All that i could find information about) named Margaret, Born 1910 and Mary Elizabeth, Born 1911. I'm sorry i cant be more specific and 100% certain with dates but all i could get came from 2 census forms. My Great Grandfather Jack literally gave us no information whatsoever. We know zero about this branch of our family. I would love if there were any relatives still around in Shanagolden or elsewhere who could fill in any gaps. Any information would be greatly appreciated. I can be contacted through this page, or by email at jksongkran72@gmail.com or mobile 087 9136379. 

Thank You in Advance, I wish all parishes had this service!! John Kelly.

P.S. I did a quick calculation in my head, Jack Guerin has at least 88 Direct Descendants.
