Hi Sue
Thanks for that. I don't know if there is a connection with the names you sent, as I don't know much about the Shanahan/McCarthy line. I have tried looking for a Catherine Shanahan/Dennis Scannell marriage but without dates, areas' etc I doubt I'm ever going to find them, their parents or their siblings. The only things I'm sure of are that Catherine died when my granddad was 12 around 1924 and Dennis around 1953ish well into his late 80s early 90s, and that Abbeydornay and Cloherbrien cemetaries are were they are buried, and that they lived in Tralee co.Kerry at the time of their deaths.
I do know that Catherine and Denis' children were Jeremiah Dennis, Hannah and Mary-Ellen, so am presuming they named them all after relatives.
Also I'm assuming that there could have been a marriage between the McCarthys' and Scannells, as a cousin thought that Dennis' mother was Mary McCarthy.
I will keep your email so I can follow up any leads that match the names you sent me.
Regards Irene
