Have been researching Michael and Mary Shea White for a long time. We believe her to be the sister of my great grandmother Johanna Shea who was married to Robert Donahue. We believe them to be part of a large family whose parents were Michael and Ellen Shea. Family history says they came from Portmagee in Ireland. We have been researching birth death and marriage records and lately city directories from Norwich at the Family History Center as we believe both the Donahues and Sheas were there in the 1860`s. We have seen the marriage record for Michael and Mary (not much there, just their names) and the birth records for sons John in 1863 and Michael in 1864. They also had a daughter Catherine who was born in New York around 1868. My sister and I have searched for them in the 1870 census but have been unable to find them so far. We have a second connection to them in that son John White married Mary G Donahue who was the daughter of Patrick Donahue and Johanna Leary. Patrick was my ggf Robert`s brother.
