Looking for Information on Shea family "Cornaveagh "

Patsy:

Unfortunately the RC records for Moore parish do not start until 1870. The Creagh records start in 1820 or so. I looked at www.familysearch.org and found an 1868 baptismal index record for a John Shea born to James Shea and Ann Gavin.

I also located an 1867 civil birth index record in the Ballinasloe registration district for a John Shea. You would have to write to the General Register Office to get a copy which costs around 4 euros. If you want to get a copy of this record let me know and I will forward instructions.

Dear Patsy,  

You may already have traced the above mentioned Kieran Shea's wife. Here in Moore Parish, we have located her maiden name from a descendant of Kieran Shea and also we have a photo of the headstone and a note of the headstone inscription. 

Please email me at moore@irelandxo.com and I will forward the above. 

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Dear Patsy, 

Great.  Can you send an email from your email address to moore@irelandxo.com . 

All the best,

Patrick,
Are you related to the Shea's of Cornaveagh?
I am a descendant of John & Elizabeth Shea. (Great great grandparents). I have the inscriptions of headstones in Kilbegley graveyard.
Your information above has been very helpful, as I didn't know that Kieran Shea was a widower. That would explain one of the inscriptions for me.
If you would like to email me at eithneoshea2@hotmail.com
I'd be happy to share what I have with you.
Regards,
Eithne O' Shea.

Has anyone got any idea how I can contact Patrick please?

Hi Eithne, 

I am searching all my emails in various 'inbox' and will see if Patrick contacted me. I will send you a private message as soon as I find something. 

All the best, Marie 

Hi Marie,

Hi Elizabeth,

What years are we looking at? And what part of Moore, as there were many different Shea families scattered around the parish. Cloneash, Cornaveagh, Faltia, etc. Have you done an Ancestry DNA test? It might narrow down which branch you're from.
