Hurley/Sheahan from Askeaton

I found a Sheahan and a Sheehan families in 1901 living on Main St. in Askeaton. I also found the Hurley record.

There are also other Sheahan families in Askeaton so you may want to do a search. www.nationalarchives.ie

john hurley & mary sheahan, year 1888,

were married in cappagh parrish (RC),

that would indicate that mary sheahan is a native of

cappagh, as marriages were usually in the brides parish.

add cappagh to your PARISH list on

(IRELAND REACHING OUT) & you will be notified

by email of any messages on the cappagh board,

john hurley may be a native of askeaton,

as that where the children were baptised,

JAMES 1888,

MARK 1890,

ELLEN 1898

REGARDS

JOHN.

Thank you, the information regarding Mary Sheahan, it is a great lead. I will add Cappagh to my parish list. I never knew about Ellen 1898 so it is possible Mary died in childbirth and possibly the baby as well.

My great grandfather John Hurley lived in Askeaton but the family was from Lismakerry which I believe isn't too far away. His parents were James Hurley and Ellen Mead.

I have visited Askeaton and was fortunate to have my cousin Dan O'Connell show me around!

Dan O'Connell,

did he work for (wyeth Ireland askeaton),

he lived in Craggs, Barrigone Co Limerick.

Dan passed away in 2012.

i have some info on his ancestors.

add lismakeery to your parish list.

lismakeery to askeaton 10 minute drive,

cappagh to askeaton 15 minute drive
