Dublin / Kitty McShane/Dublin burial...
« on: Monday 05 February 07 09:04 GMT (UK) »
Hi everyone.
I am trying to locate the last resting place of Katherine "Kitty" McShane. She was born Catherine McShane in Dublin in on 19th May 1897, the fourth child of Daniel and Kate McShane. She died in London on 24th March 1964.
She was famous for playing the daughter in the double act of Old Mother Riley (played by her husband Arthur Lucan). They were extremely popular in the UK and Ireland between the 1930s and early 1950s, playing the music halls, making numerous film and radio recordings. I run the only website solely dedicated to the life and career of the duo....

Kitty was a Catholic. I have a feeling she may well be buried in Glasnevin Cemetery in Dublin. Any help in tracing her whereabouts would be much appreciated. She could be buried as McShane/Lucan/ Towle.
