Hi Tiffany,
Here's what I was able to find on your Sharkey family in PEI:
1.1881 Census for Lot 53, Kings, PEI
Peter Sharkey, 49, b Ire.
Mary Sharkey, 43, b PEI
Catherine Sharkey, 22 b PEI
John Sharkey, 18, b PEI
Edward, 14, b PEI
Peter, 9, b PEI
Maria, 6, b PEI
Daniel, 4, b PEI
William, b May, 1881
2.1891 Census
Peter Sharkey, 60, b Ire. Both parents b in Ire.
Mary, 57, b PEI, Both parents b in Scotland
John, 26, b PEI
Edward, 23, b PEI
Peter, 19, b PEI
Maria, 17, b PEI
William 11, b PEI
From the Birth and Baptismal Index for PEI was the following:
Children of Peter Sharkey and Mary McDonald
Catherine, b 19 Mar 1859, baptised 2 Jun 1859
Cecily Ann, b 28 Apr 1861, baptised 25 May 1861
Daniel, b 5 or 15 Aug 1856, baptised 10 Sep 1856
Edward Francis, b 2 Dec 1867, baptised 17 Feb 1868
John, b 7 Jun 1863, baptised 23 Aug 1863
Maria, b 24 Jul 1874, baptised 30 Aug 1874
Mary Ann, b 11 Mar 1869, baptised 4 Apr 1869
Peter, b 29 Jun 1854, baptised 5 Aug 1854
In the 1900 U.S. Census for Boston, Suffolk Co., MA, I found:
John Sharkey, b Jun 1864 in Canada and came over in 1888
Margaret Sharkey (wife), b Oct. 1873 in MA
Daniel Sharkey (son), b Feb. 1896 in MA
Edward Sharkey, b Jan 1867 in Canada and came over in 1891
Florence Sharkey (wife), b Mar. 1869 in Canada
Daniel (brother), b Apr. 1879 Canada
From Sharkey family tree sites on Ancestry.com I found:
Peter Sharkey, b 15 Aug 1832 in Ire. (no county listed) and d 10 Feb 1900 in Canada.
Mary McDonald Sharkey, b 18 Jun 1834 in Fox River, PEI and d 30 Jun 1901 in Canada.
The above two people's dates for birth and death I can't confirm as it was from someone else's family tree but the dates fit what you were looking for.
The cemetery where they might be buried is All Saint's Roman Catholic in Cardigan, Kings, PEI.
Hope this helped.
