Thanks very much Merry - never had Rose - thats the 8 living in 1911 I presume ..and the other 2 born in Ireland or after 1900 in Liverpool...he is delighted and says he is going to Collinstown and Taghmon when he goes to see his daughter and Grandchildren in Athlone around May - I presume his daughter will visit there well before then ..great progress - again , thanks a lot - you have made him a happy man - AND - he might buy ME a pint ...lol

Going back to Patrick, FMP has his mother as

Mother's first name(s)
Mary
Mother's last name
Gurian

at his baptism.

Other children with similarly named mother and father John:

Butler Sheridan bap 24 Dec 1849 John Sheridan and Mary Gannon
James Sheridan bap 13 Apr 1852 John Sheridan and Mary Gannon
Anne Sheridan bap 20 Jul 1865 John Sheridan and My Gannon

The above are all in Collinstown.

They seem pretty spaced out!

Mary Gannon and John Sheridan were married:

23 Feb 1846 Parish Collinstown (FMP)

EDIT: or maybe 15 Feb 1847!! The writing is poor and I'm trying to not let my curry burn, so haven't looked properly at the images.
