Hi Rory
It was also good to hear from you again These McCann dont want to be found
Mary Ann would have been born around 1825-30 her son John was 1850 unless
his age is wrong .I also saw you have McGrath and Rice so have i .Maryann
McGrath married Arthur McShane .I also have a Sarah Rice married to a
Rafferty .
The problem is to find out if Mary Ann Mc Cann had any siblings and also
John. Have you seen any of these McShane christian Names Rose ann born
1873John 1875,
Arthur 1877,Hugh 1883, Henry 1886,Daniel 1891 my grandfather,Patrick
1889-1889 Isabella 1887-1888
Thjese names may help as they seem to carry them through the Generations .
Kindest regards Jean
