Title: Daingean
Post by: poppyo on Saturday 13 August 05 11:25 BST (UK)

Hello. My mother's family all came from Daingean, Geishall and Rathfeston from at least the early 20th century to the late 1980's. Their name was Sheerin, 2 sisters and 5 brothers. Has anyone any information on this family? Thank you.

Hello poppyo,

The 1854 extracts of Griffith's Valuations of Offaly on John Hayes' website lists six people with the surname Sheerin but none in Daingean which was originally called Philipstown.

Thomas Sheerin, Gorteen, Geashill 
Robert Sheerin, Main Street, Edenderry, Monasteroris 
Thomas Sheerin, Ballinvally, Geashill 
Patrick Sheerin, Gorteen, Geashill 
Patrick Sheerin, Ballinvally, Geashill 
Edward Sheerin, Cloncraff or Bloomhill, Clonmacnoise

Hello Christopher. That's kind of you but that was 2 years ago! Since then I have found out that the Sheerins originated in Westmeath, and came to Daingean after 1900 but thank you for your trouble.

Hi Poppyo, my Great Grandmother Bridget Brickland nee Sheeran came from Mullaghrush, Daingean wondering if we are related in some way. 

According to her marriage cert her fathers name was Denis Sheeran, I believe she had a brother called Thomas and a couple of step brothers and sisters.
