She was 24 when they got married and i have found that her father was called Thomas McShane. i can not find any record of Thomas, or any record of his wife. Any assistance greatly appreciated. Mark.

	Have you tried looking for him on 1901/1911 census? If you have details of his occupation from her marriage record this can be used in the search. Jan

Member Since: February 2007 Posts: 17 Send Message	Hello All, and thank you for helping. in terms of my Byrne/McShane side of the family i have the 1901 census record that has my g.granfather (Thomas, aged 4) with parents John and Bridget. i also have their marriage record (09/05/1893) which gives Bridget's father as Thomas McShane, John's father as John Byrne, and witness' John McShane and Patrick Byrne. at that point i hit a dead end! mark.
