Thanks for the info. I'd also noticed that that town keeps coming up. I've been a little hesitant to assume there's a connection because their names are so different. Maybe I'm just used to the Scottish naming patterns. Had I seen some Thomas' or Roberts in there I might be more excited. Although, as Elizabeth Shanks' father was a Robert, that maybe where that name entered the family and maybe our oldest Thomas was named after his maternal grandfather.
Nancy might be a link. I know our first generation of Pews in Scotland did have a Agnes, and Agnes and Nancy are often interchangeable.
I hope you have luck when you visit Ireland
