Sorry for late reply, i'm going to have to ask the other person attached to my family tree and the shea family for some clarification. Somethings come up about Honora Shea William Sheas sister and i just want to see if she knows anything more about it before i spill the beans, i don't know if she will know anything though.

I think Patrick's father, or maybe his grandfather who was also called James Shaughnessy could have been an interesting person though, i found a lot of petty crime stuff belonging to him. Then a half brother by blood, not sure what that means, but i think it could mean either one of his parents had a child with somebody else.
I think he was also involved in the Clongorey evictions from the O'kelly estate, there is a James Shaughnessy listed as being one of the evictees.
Its hard to know which James was which.

Thank you.
Corraclevin, Kings County, i thought it was on the Tipperary/Offaly border though.
Barna, Moneygall areas.
The William and Tom Shea, or sometimes O'Shea i have do have a sister called Honora.
Tom was married to a woman called Anne, there are a few more relatives i haven't put them in my tree yet on Ancestry, but i have them wrote down.
I'll fish them out later, and pop them up here for Sijo to see if they are the same people.

It's Old "Happy" again.
In my excitement to get started in this I forgot to give the lady's name. I don't know if it is relevant but It may prompt a lead from somebody.
My Great, Great Grandmother was "Honora Shea" .
Regards
Happycamper
I have an Honora Shea in my family tree born in 1834, her brother William Shea was my grandmothers mother Mary (Molly) Shea father.
Her Mother and Father were, Edward Shea and Catherine Brophy.
I have a Tom Shea as a brother born in 1839.
Yeah there does seem to be some kind of fiddling about on Ancestry, apparently Edward Shea didn't die until 1999, which would be absolutely amazing, seeing as though he was probably born sometime in the 1700s.

I think the O'Shaugnessy name was just Shaugnessy when the family were living up in Kildare.
Looks like Patrick added the O himself for whatever reason, but usually a name change implies you want to distance yourself from something, or someone.
Still haven't found a burial place for Patrick's wife Mary, definetly not buried with him, his sister, son and daughter-inlaw in Glasnevin.
I found the name changes with the other side of the family as well, O'Brien was also O'Bryan, then just Brien or Bryan.
Makes trying to track everybody down more interesting, i suppose.
At the very least you get to test your investigating skills.
