Oh, and they also state that it was an O' Sullivan relation that they were going to.

this would suggest that both parents had passed by 1910
The relation should be Kate Sullivan (O'Shea) married Patrick J Sullivan
yes the census link for Bartholomew Shea  must be a brother of Michael B

[heywood]

He' s the Bart we had before. That narrows Margaret's death 1901-1910

[Berni]

Yes he must be the same Bart, Heywood
still hunting for deaths of Margaret and Michael B 

[heywood]

We are assuming that all was 'well' and that the parents died within that time period but they may have been elsewhere and the children gave Uncle Bart as next of kin for that reason. Sadly, we just don't know.

Using the approximate year of birth we have here, there are these deaths - none within the right time: Michael O'Shea

There are others for Michael Shea but the nearest is 1902 in Caherciveen.
Sorry-- just noticed that Shane posted these earlier.

There are two for Margaret O'Shea - 1945 and 1952

Just for information - there is an M O'S in the census for Ballydribben, Killarney which was the Asylum. He is married and a tailor but is 56 yrs. I have had a try to check to see if the age is mistranscribed but there are so many records, I didn't succeed.
I doubt that it would be him.

Have you been in contact with the other people who have a family tree that has been mentioned. Do they have any ideas or family stories/records re Michael and Margaret?

[Berni]

Hi Heywood
Given that John V left in 1907 and Margaret and Michael left 1910
and it looks like my grandfather was a servant and tailor with another family in 1911
that either both parents had passed or at least their mother had passed.
at least with all your help I know Michael B had a brother Bartholomew 

[Berni]

Hi all
Would like your opinions on this please
I have just come across a death for Margaret O'Reilly
Sep 1926
Vol 4 Pg 189
Scariff Co Clare
is it possible that my Gr Gran returned to her birthplace and took her maiden name back?

[taramcdsmall]

Sorry Bernie,

I very much doubt it

Anyway I thought it was decided that she has passed between 1901 & 1911 ??
