Looking for the ancestors of my great-grandparents and gg-grandparents.
My g-grandfather was Patrick McShane (c.1810-10 May 1895) from Loughross/Crossmaglen. He married Anne Callaghan (c.1837-29 Apr 1903) on 27 Dec 1855 in Crossmaglen. They had nine children: Mary, James, Catherine (my grandmother), Anne, Alice, Ellen, Margaret, Rose and Bridget. I am looking for any information regarding Anne Callaghan's parents and ancestors.
I am also searching for any ancestors of my gg-grandfather. He was James McShane (c.1870-20 May 1862). He married Margaret Bowden (c.1780-8 Sep 1853) on 14 Jul 1799 in Upper Creggan Parish, Crossmaglen. They had eight children: Catherine, Mary, Margaret, James, Frans, Patrick (my g-grandfather), Felix, and Eleoner. I am particularly interested in any information regarding Margaret Bowden's parents and ancestors.
Appreciate any information or sources anyone might have available.
Thanks, Mike
