Timothy Rafter/Bridget Shay/Shae/Shea
« on: Sunday 06 October 13 18:29 BST (UK) »
Hi folks,
I have the following information; Timothy Rafter Jnr born 15/02/1836. His father Timothy Rafter Snr and mother Bridget Shay?Shae/Shea married around 1830. Bridget believed to be born around 1796 and died in Callan after 1871. Timothy Jnr married Ellen Farrel in the US.
Am looking to find date of death and buriel place of Bridget. Anything at all about Timothy Snr and if there were any other children born to Timothy Snr and Bridget.
Any links/suggestions greatly appreciated. :)

Hi TaraMcDSmall Many thanks for that info. I have emailed parish priest in Callan church to enquire about church records and waiting to hear back from him. As I don't have definite dates and places it will be slow going but hopefully worth it. :) Thanks again!
