SHANLEY FAMILY

My grandmother was Josephine Arlene Shanley (1890-1943, b Bangor ME d Bangor ME), daughter of Thomas Shanley (1847-1900, b Lowell MA d Bangor ME) and Mary Josephine Cullinan (1852-1936, b Lewiston ME d Bangor ME). Thomas Shanley was the son of John Shanley (c1826-1864, b IRE d Richmond VA as a prisoner of war) and Mary Donnelly (c1823-1873, b IRE d Cambridge MA).Thomas came to Maine in the 1870's, probably after his mother died, to work as a stonecutter. His siblings remained in the Boston area. Our family was still in touch with them up until the 1920's. After that nothing. Also I believe John Shanley had siblings in Lowell specifically a brother James who was witness at his wedding at St. Patrick's in 1846. John's father and mother were Patrick and Ellen Shanley. It is unknown whether they came to the US.Does any of this ring a bell with anyone. I would very much like to make contact with descendants of my gr.gr.grandfather John Shanley, or descendants of his siblings.I do not even know the county of origin of my Shanleys, but through other descendants I hope to make this connection. It seems that the chance of them being from Leitrim are better than not being from Leitrim. Dick
