Shevlane Origins

[heywood]

Maybe a longshot but not impossible as many people were unsure of the wording in 1911...

Did Richard think it meant 'living at home' as opposed to being alive 

Annie

Yes I wondered that too, Annie.

It’s all a bit of a mystery. The children’s births are difficult to find (for me anyway  ).
Here is Anne’s - Shevlin

Mother is Anne Carey

I found a baptism for Patrick to Richard and Anne - February 1900 and a death for 3 day old Patrick here.

Thanks for all this. Must take some time to look at it in more detail.

I'm not sure which Richard Shevlin this would be, perhaps John Shevlane's brother? My Anne Barrett was born c.1820, so her marriage isn't recorded to Michael Shevlane, too long ago.

I notice Shevlane is a pretty uncommon surname, even in Ireland. I wonder if there are any other fragments of information about the family origins? It seems much less common than Barrett, or the like.

John Shevlane and Bridget "Biddy" Mills were in Briska. I had previously thought they might have been my ancestors, but it now seems that my family were instead linked to Michael Shevlane and Anne Barrett. But the 1894 marriage of Bryan Shevlane is still interesting!

From the Tithe Allotment Books:

Sheolane   Antony   Althnabrucky     Kilcommon                          Mayo   1834
Sheran   Jas           Dona Cormack     Kilcommon                          Mayo   1834
Sheridan   Pat           Muingnahalloona  Kilcommon                          Mayo   1834
Sherlane   Bryan   Briska             Kilcommon                          Mayo   1834
Sherlok   Luke           Garrymore             Kilcommon                          Mayo   1832
Shevlane   Martin   Tourgloss West     Kilcommon                          Mayo   1834
Shevlane   Jms           Tullaghane Duff     Kilcommon                          Mayo   1834
Shevlane   Anthony   Largin Beg             Kilcommon                          Mayo   1834

Looking at the location "Briska" I am led to assume Bryan Shevlane was father to John Shevlane who married Bridget Mills, and thereby grandfather to Bryan Shevlane who married in 1894. If you look at the dates, this Bryan Shevlane from 1834 would probably have a date of birth around 1790-1800. Martin Shevlane is interesting, since the name shows up in my Shevlane family. Must have another look into the Toorglass Shevlane family.
