I am looking for Sharkey or Beirne family members that have information on John Sharkey b:abt 1814 and his wife Margaret Beirne. John had 3 sons (John, Martin and Michael) with his 1st wife (Margaret Lowe) then he remarried Margaret Beirne and had 7 children. The youngest children Elizabeth b:1866 and William b:1869 remained in the Roscommon area while their older siblings immigrated to Indiana, USA.

Elizabeth married James Dwyer and had 7 children and William married Margaret Dwyer (James's sister) and they had 9 children. Both families are listed in the 1901 & 1911 Irish Census.

I have collected information on the family after 1840 but I have found it hard to verify John and his wives' parents. The family lived in Ardmore (Townland) just north of Croghan.

Thanks,

Bob Bertram

  • Bob:

    You may want to check the Tithe Applotment records for Killukin parish. I found three Lowe records in Killukin parish. http://titheapplotmentbooks.nationalarchives.ie/search/tab/home.jsp

    Here is the 1855 Griffiths Valuation head of Hosuehold listing for Killukin parish.

  • In Croghan RC records the Sharky family was also sometimes recorded as Shercott, Sharcut, and Sharkett in early records.

    See Patt Sharky & Brigid Farrell – parents of John Sharkey (1814-1869) of Ardmore. 

    We'd love if you added your Sharkey ancestors to the Killukin parish roll-call and attached them to the townland of Ardmore HERE.

  • My Beirne family came from Bella near Ballinameen. According to the Griffith's evaluation, their farm was right across the road from a family named Sharkey.
