sorry to all about the capital letters, never again!

My great-grandmother Mary Shine nee O’Connor had a sister named Johanna who was married to a James McElligott. They had 21 (!) Children, but only three become adults. My mum knew one called 'Batt' short for Bartholomew?. They lived in Bethnal Green, London. My ancestor was born November 1871, Johanna was born just a few years before. Their father was a Timothy O’Connor.
I thought that the McElligotts came from Scotland, but, I was told they came from a little village of the same name in Ireland.  Is any of the above any use to you?

Can anyone out there help me find out more about my ancestor Johann Christian Elfenbein?  He was baptised in 1794 in Danzig, and then he married in 1817 in Shoreditch, London.  I can not find when he came to London.  It seems that he came alone, as no other of the same surname are on any of the census's, only his later children.  Any help would be great!

 Is there anyone out there tracing the Hanafin family tree? The surname was spelt several different ways, and they came from just outside Dingle, any help would be great.
