OSHEA KERRY/LONGFORD/CAVAN
« on: Tuesday 23 October 07 13:39 BST (UK) »
HI
i am researching my paternal family
CHRISTOPHER S O'SHEA born 1893 CAHERCIVEEN KERRY ("christy")
MARIA/MARY J CADDEN born in GRANARD LONGFORD ("janie")
my father was their eldest child born 1919 in granard longford ("sonny")
they were  master tailors.
on 1931 thom's trade directory  of  longford they are listed living
in barrack street granard.
mary caddens  brother is also listed  philip (born thomas) living on new road  he was a  house decorator.
the family then moved to ARVAGH CAVAN
where i  know they had a tailors shop on arvagh green (info provided by a  lady who remembers them)
approx 1948 they moved to manchester england and lived  85 bignor street until 1970
christopher o'shea died 1963 and mary died 1974
if you have any information on them or about the ares  they lived i would
be most grateful
many thanks for taking the time to read this

Hi Berni,#I seem to have come across a lot of info from talking to may parents. Do you know if the Caddens had anything to do with cattle ?
