Sorry I didn't see this continued help until today. I too had thought there might have been 2 Brabazon Disney Shiles or Sheils but to also have the same woman Rose Rooney makes me wonder if that would be possible.
I found a Catholic baptism record for a Henry Shiels born Darver, Co. Louth, parents Brabazon Disney Shiels and Rose Rooney. Then their marriage record in both the Catholic and COI records married 11 March 1850?On the marriage information both Brabazon and Rose are 60 years of age at the time of marriage? A newspaper story in the Belfast papers announces the marriage of "Brabazon Disney Shiels's" youngest daughter, Martha Emily Shiels for 19 July 1858.
I found that in 1806 Apri 14 Brabazon DisneyShiels was appointed to Lieutenant of the 5th Regiment of Co. Louth, in 1814 he was appointed "applotters" in the Parish of Darver and was a seat holder in the Parish Church of Newtown Darver, seat 15. A William Shiels made a will in 1801 a resident of Newtown Darver and Brabazon was also a church warden from 1825-1826.
The last info I found in a book the History of Kilsaran Union and Manfieldstown Union of Parishes in Co. Louth was a cemetery marker that listed Shiels people but another separate entry said that Henry Shiels son of William Shiels had died 28 Januay 1829 in his 29th year and the stone was erected by Brabazon Disney Shiels Esq. to the lamented memory of the best and most beloved of brothers.
Manfieldstown Churchyard.
I am totally at a loss on how to sort this out but I believe Brabazon was 100% COI so I need to find a way to check COI birth records for children either around the early 1800's like the Henry Shiels entry or after 1850 when they married but at age 60, can't see them having children then.
Once again thanks for the information and help.
Cheers,
Frustrated Canadian!!!
