Joseph Sharkey - Navan
« on: Monday 14 November 05 13:10 UTC (UK) »
Can anyone help me to track down the Sharkey family?  My Gran Annie (Ann) was the daughter of Joseph Sharkey (formerly a Gaelic Footballer - a minutes silence was held when he died in the 1900's as I saw a newspaper cutting many years ago).  She was born around 1907 and grew up in Navan with her brothers and sisters - Margaret, Patrick (Paddy), Joseph(Sonny), Mary, Dolly and Lily - there may have been others but am not 100% sure.  I think virtually all the siblings came to Manchester to Live and as far as I know Dolly is the only surviving sibling.  My gran looked after her sisters and brothers as her mother was infirm and auntie Maggie lived with her aunt.
My mum Margaret and her brother John Owen spent most of her childhood holidays in Navan with her cousins.  If anyone knows of the family please let me know - thanks

Hello KWheelC,

The name Sharkey still exists in Navan http://www.rte.ie/comments/comments.html The local GAA Club may be able to assist you. The older members may have ceased playing some time ago but do have excellent memories and tend to know the relationships of most people living in their locality. Do not mistake this for nosiness. It is more a caring interest in their family circle, friends and neighbours. This is a trait found throughout Ireland which gives the island the international reputation of being such a hospitable nation.

The local library http://www.meath.ie/library/branches.html should also be able to provide you with some information.

All the Best, Christopher

Hi Karen,

My grandfather was Patrick Sharkey from Navan, Co Meath.  My aunt Dolly lives in Manchester and is the only surviving member of my grandfathers family.  I figure from the information I have read that we are talking about the same family.

Hi Karen,

Many thanks for your reply. I can give you some contact details for Dolly and for some of Dolly's family not sure if they are still the same, but might be worth a try.

Welcome to Rootschat Jay but along with details of living people e-mail addresses shouldn't be posted here. To remove your email address from your post click on the modify button, delete the address and then click on save button. To exchange details, e-mail address, etc. offline you can use the personal message (pm) system but you have to make a few posts before you can do so (this is an anti-spam precaution).

Am I mistaken in thinking that an e-mail address can be shown provided you write it with [AT] instead of @ Huh I believe that the [AT] is an alternative anti spam precaution.
