McMahon in Clare - I may get to a location yet!
« on: Wednesday 13 March 13 17:17 GMT (UK) »
I have had great luck the last couple of days researching my McMahon family. I have a lead and that has snowballed to a possible ship name - anyone heard of the Sylvanus. It would have travelled to Quebec.
I wrote about my findings here

A mention of the Sylvanus to Quebec in 1883 here - not sure if the dates are too early for your search.
