My grandmother, Ellen Meehan, was baptized in Kilmore, Cloonclare, Leitrim in November,1871. Her parents were Patrick Meehan and Catherine McSharry.
I did find a sister of Ellen on the LDS site stating that she (Bridget) was born in Manorhamilton in 1866.
I also know of another sister, Margaret (born 1870), who lived near my grandmothers home in New York City.
I believe that Ellen immigrated to America at the beginning of the 20th century (possibly 1902).
My grandmother always said that she came from a very large family and that a sister arrived first and that that unnamed sister eventually paid for her other sibling's passages.
I would be extremely grateful in finding out any information about any of the above individuals, but especially any birth or marriage information about Patrick Meehan and Catherine McSharry.
Thank you.
MEEHAN-MCSHARRY
