raffertys in usa and dublin 20thC
Looking for the following Raffertys and Sheehans, and their descendants, if anyone can help:
William Francis Sheehan (Born:08/09/22 in Dublin Died:13/02/73 in Manchester, England). Served in the Royal Navy, discharged with TB.
His wife Margaret Rafferty (or Raftrey...some confusion over which it is.) (Born:18/11/30 or 18/11/27 in Dublin or Naas Died:06/01/76 in Manchester)
William and Margaret were married around 1954 in the parish of St. Michael's, Inchicore, Dublin
William Sheehan's Family - William was one of 10 children, we know that one of his brothers was called John. It is thought that Williams mother was an English Protestant, called Jane.
Margaret Rafferty's Family - Margaret had a brother Patrick (Born in the US.) and a sister Theresa ( Born in US or Dublin, Died in Dublin in her early 20's), Margaret was the youngest child. Margaret's father was Christopher John Rafferty/Raftrey a Market Gardener. He was born in Dublin, moved to the US in the 1920s and then back to Ireland where he died. Christopher met and married Miss Mahon (of Long Island) in the US. Miss Mahon died in Dublin during childbirth, maybe whilst giving birth to Margaret.
