I was wondering if anyone had information on the ancestry of Francis SHEEHY-SKEFFINGTON, Irish pacifist and writer. I know that he was born Francis SKEFFINGTON in County Cavan, Ireland. His father was Dr. Joseph Skeffington. After marrying Hanna SHEEHY in 1903, he changed his surname to Sheehy-Skeffington.

I was curious about his ancestry since my Skeffington ancestors are from Oldcastle, County Meath which is just across the border from County Cavan. Thank you.
