Looking for a marriage Mary Sheelan/ Sheehan/ Patrick McKeown
« on: Sunday 26 February 23 11:39 GMT (UK) »
Can anyone help please?
Mary, the daughter of James Sheelan was widowed and this is her with her widowed father and children in 1901
Residents of a house 22 in Maddoxland (Rathcor, Louth)
Sheelan   James   76   Male   Head of Family   Roman Catholic
McKeawn   Mary   42   Female   Daughter   Roman Catholic
McKeawn   Bridget   18   Female   Grand Daughter   Roman Catholic
McKeawn   Michael   16   Male   Grand Son   Roman Catholic
McKeawn   Patrick   14   Male   Grand Son   Roman Catholic
McKeawn   Peter   12   Male   Grand Son   Roman Catholic
McKeawn   Joseph   10   Male   Grand Son   Roman Catholic
McKeawn   Lizzie   8   Female   Grand Daughter   Roman Catholic
McKeawn   James   6   Male   Grand Son   Roman Catholic

I don't know if Bridget/Bridgid was their eldest child but I have looked for a marriage in the area from 1875. Also I don't know whether Mary was married previously so I am struggling to find them Mary and Patrick's marriage under various spellings of their surnames .

I would appreciate any suggestions
thanks dinkey

It looks likely that they married in England.
