Michael,

I am related to Clearys of County Cork and several of their children 's christening witnesses were sullivans and Cronins. I am also related to Shanahans (a Cleary married a Shanahan)bresnahans, McGinleys, McFaddens, O'Briens, Mullanes, Hurley, Mccarthy, Welch, etc. I believe my Shanahan line goes as follows:

Timothy Shanahan m. Joanna Annie Welch
1. jeremiah
2. Michael m. Joanna Annie McCarthy
1. Frederick
2. John
3. Edward m. Anne Hurley
4. William Timothy m. Margaret Bradley
5. Elizabeth
6. Frances Augustine m Agnes McGinley
1. Mary m John Edward Cleary(family from county cork)

Cleary line:

Unknown cleary
1. John Cleary/ margaret beards
2. Thomas Cleary m Unknown
1.Denis b.1858 Douglas,co.Cork m.Ann Mullane
1. Christopher
2. Edward
3. James
4. Julia Esther
5. Cornelius (conny)
6. Thomas Augustine b. 1887 cork m. Honora Bresnahan
1. John Edward Cleary m. Mary Shanahan
2. Richard Cleary m Anne O'Connor
3. John Cleary m Mary Unknown

Thomas Augustine Cleary and Frances Augustine Shanahan both died in Groveland/Haverhill, Mass.

One more connection: Honora Bresnahan's mother was Julia O'Connor.

Can you help, please?
