I am researching my family and found that my grandfather was previously married to an Ann Sheehan. Ann's parents I believe were Peter Sheehan and Elizabeth Daly from Mullingar. I believe Ann was born 8/20/1872 in Mullingar. My grandfather Patrick married Ann in NYCon 2/2/1896. I can't find any info about Ann's death. Any help would be appreciated.
Grandfather Michael Sheehan from Midleton Ireland died 1960's. His son John Francis Sheehan moved to United States late 1940's New York.

Samantha: I don’t know much anything about the Sheehans in Ireland. I know some about the US family of James Sheehan. Where do you live? I am in the Chicago area as are any of my relatives.
Would like to know more about my Sheehan family history and find some of my ancestors.... Please at your convenience contact me back.
My great great grandfather, James Sheehan, was born in 1835 in the Carey/Limerick area. He married Margaret Sullivan in Illinois (US) in 1863. Any info would be appreciated. Peggy McDonald Nielsen
