I have been checking through Roots Ireland i.e. records between 1840 and 1850 and other websites kindly given to me on this site! I looked for Edward, Edmond, Edmd. Edmund Sheehy born in/around Pallaskenry Limerick 1845.
On Root Ireland i.e. the nearest birth year to my Great Grandfather I could find was named Edmd whose father’s name also Edmd. Sheehy - Mother Mary Hayes.
Edmd date of Birth 27-Sep-1847 - Date of Baptism - 1-Jan-0 - Parish/District ASKEATON Co. Limerick – Denomination - Roman Catholic - Father and Mother’s Occupation Unknown - Sponsor/Informant 1 Thos Hayes – Sponsor/Informant 2 Bridget Hayes
I found another Edmd. Sheehy same details as above on family search birthdate entered Unknown baptism was the same date given for Edmd.’s birth 27th-Sep-1847.
2nd entry found - Edmond Sheehy Date of Birth Unknown - Date of Baptism 07-Feb-1847 - Address Unknown - Parish/District: CROAGH - County Co. Limerick Denomination - Roman Catholic - Father Edmond Sheehy - Mother Bridget N. L. Sponsor/Informant 1 Jn Shanahan Sponsor/Informant 2 Jna Shanahan
3rd entry Edmund Sheehy - Date of Birth Unknown - Date of Baptism 18-May-1848 Address Parish/District ABBEYFEALE County Co. Limerick - Denomination Roman Catholic - Father Edmund Sheehy - Mother Hanora Kennelly - Father and Mother’s Occupation Unknown - Sponsor/Informant 1. Not Recorded - Sponsor/Informant 2 Johanna Sheehy
4th entry Edmond Sheehy Date of Birth Unknown Date of Baptism 00-May-1847 Parish/District GALBALLY & AHERLOW County Co. Limerick - Denomination Roman Catholic Occupation Unknown – Father Edmond Sheehy - Mother Honora Hanley - Sponsor/Informant 1 John Galvin - Sponsor/Informant Cath. Merrick
I believe Edward/Edmond was born between 1843 to 1848,his service record states he was 25 years on his last birthday in 1870 which gives his birth abt 1845 but I have learnt doing my family tree two years either way could be a possibility of being my great grandfather.
If my understanding is correct ASKEATON Co. Limerick is not far from Pallaskenry, but I am not sure where CROAGH ABBEYFEALE GALBALLY & AHERLOW are situated in Ireland.
The only Edmund Sheehy I could find in the Parish/District KILCORNAN & STONEHALL County Co. Limerick, was born 20-Sep-1848 Baptism 1-Jan-0 - Father Myles Sheehy Mother Margaret Downes Sponsor/Informant 1Michael Downes Sponsor/Informant 2 Jna. Fitzgerald. I don’t feel this is my great grandfather.
I am going to assume Edmd. Sheehy born/baptism 27 Sept 1847 Parish/District ASKEATON Co. Limerick is possibly my Great Grandfather!
During my search of Edmd I found possible sibling have same parents. The parents’ birth-place – age etc. has no entry, the reference ID also has no entry, but they all have the same indexing project (batch) number C70113-1 - System origin Ireland-ODM and GS film number 926138. Not sure if this is relevant! – Can anyone tell me what ODM stand for?
How do I track Edmd and his father to find if they were labour and groom as stated in my great grandfather’s service records?
