I am going to try to get this right this time. I have recently found out that I was looking for the wrong name for my great great grandfather. I recently found a copy of a eulogy printed "Stokestown, near Elphin" in l902, that was from the "Sharkey brothers" for Thomas Sharkey. I always thought that his name was Lawrence Sharkey. Anyway, I am looking for anyone related to Thomas Sharkey, who was married to Ellen Mary McCrann Sharkey (from my grandmother's(Winifred Sharkey Killeen (1884 or 1887) social security card application). Ellen must have died prior to him, as there was no mention of her in the eulogy. I am assuming that the Sharkey brothers must have been his sons. Are there Sharkeys that fit this or are still living in Stoketown now? This is very confusing for me. My grandmother left Ireland for the US around l906. She married James P. Killeen, wherein comes the Killeen Murphy connection. Killeen comes from County Mayo, Islandeady at one time... I can find them there, Michael Killeen and Mary Murphy having had two of my great aunts. These were Bridget Killeen (10/19/1889), which I know is accurately her because of her birthday, and her sister Mary Killeen (9/15/1891),
