hi Michael, the first thing to do ( that you may have done ) is click on the 'search trees' button up above and search for all these names in family trees here at genesreunited

if anyone has the names in their tree you can send them a private message by clicking on 'find out more'

just for our info here is the family in 1901

Hickey Anastatia 24 Female Head of Family
Shea Margaret 26 Female Sister
Hickey John 7 Male Son
Hickey Mary Ellen 1 Female Daughter

I was hoping it would show Anastatia's husband so her marriage might be identified ... she says 'married' but no husband there

oh, hit me ... her sister is Shea and unmarried so that was Anastatia's name :-)

this is the only likely marriage I find


name: Anastasia Shea
registration district: New Ross
event type: MARRIAGES
registration quarter and year: Jan - Mar 1891
volume number: 4
page number: 531
digital folder number: 4179388

but way too early to be her one would think

-edit- nope, that is the marriage for sure, the details match this one exactly

name: John Hickey
registration district: New Ross
event type: MARRIAGES
registration quarter and year: Jan - Mar 1891
volume number: 4
page number: 531
digital folder number: 4179388


this birth is the best match

registration district: New Ross
event type: BIRTHS
registration quarter and year: 1877

father's name: James Shea
mother's name: Margaret Dunn Shea
indexing project (batch) number: C00580-1

... but maybe she wasn't really that young ?


... right, in 1911 she is older

Hickey Anastatia 40 Female Head of Family
Hickey John 16 Male Son
Hickey Agnes 7 Female Daughter
Cullen John 5 Male Boarder


so maybe

Parents: Walter Shea, Catherine Grace

father's name: Walter Shea
mother's name: Catherine Grace
indexing project (batch) number: C70150-8

if you search trees here for the surname Shea born in New Ross, Ireland ... don't put a year ...

someone has three people born one in 1914 and two in the 1930s, one I think is the member themself

and someone has

Margaret Shea 1845 New Ross Wexford Ireland

it could be worthwhile to contact those two people

hi Michael, have a look back at my posts, I was changing and adding to them just now so there's more info :-)

you're very welcome !

chrissiex Report 17 Oct 2011 21:48

for descendants, that's what I was suggesting ... the member of genesreunited who has people named Shea born after 1911 in his family tree here ... if you do the tree search I suggested, for Shea born in New Ross, you will see that person

then you can contact him, there is a good chance he is related to Anastatia I would think ?

I searched trees for Hickey born in New Ross but there were no results

Michael, you need to 'untick' the post of mine you have marked as answered

the 'mark is answered' is for when your thread is finished, so people know not to read it now as no more help is needed

that's not what you want to do here :-)
