Hi again, Joan,
Found the baptismal cert for Bernard of 1836 among my files. Bought it when I was checking for my Bernard of 1855.
Record: Bernard Gilbane, birth/baptism date: 13/07/1836
Parish:Kiltghert R C.
Parents: Patrick Gilbane and Mary Lannon. No sponsors given.
His brother Francis was born/baptized 11/02/1833 (dd/mm/y)
Mary Lannon lived in Fawn, Kiltoghert, Leitrim. Father was |Michael.
I checked ur post of 2008. U said Bernard's parents were Bernard and Margaret. Looks like this amy not be your Bernard but I cannot find anything on another Bernard of 1836/1837 from Leitrim.
As they emigrated in 1850s, there is no Bernard in the 1856 Griffiths Valuation for Leitrim but I found lots of O'Haras. Here are some of them. Hope they paste correctly:-)

If you want to see maps of civil parishes of Leitrim or check the 1901 census for Bernard's family who didn't emigrate, have a llok here:
www.leitrim-roscommon.comMy KIlbanes/Gilbanes were in Kiltoghert parish and some were from Aughrim Parish, Roscommon. Can't make a connection with this Bernard and my Bernards of 1844 and 1855 (cousins).
Re: Mc Shane.....not familiar with this name. No sign of it in Griffiths; lots of Mc Sharry in Leitrim.
Hope this helps some little bit. Regards, Mary
