Thanks so much for your time, Shelagh. The marriage of John Shanley and Catherine Carrigan is an interesting lead that I will be sure to pursue, but not sure it's who I am looking for since the couple already had children by 1847, unless they registered the marriage much after the fact. I had already found the family in 1861 (Elizabeth of the following page is my gg grandmother), and I already have Sabina's birth certificate. Catherine's name is "Regan" on both Sabina's birth and death certificates (she died in the US). John's birth year ranges from 1826/7 from his US death record, to 1828 in the US census, to 1829 in the British census. I usually use the earliest record for birth years, in this case the 1861 census. That would have made him on 16 when Thomas, his eldest son, was born in 1845. that seems a little too young to me. Or could it be that he had to wait until he was 18 to marry Catherine in 1847?
Thanks so much for your help. I will keep digging until I get to the bottom of this!
