Katie was only 36 when she died. According to her death certificate, the cause of death was "phthisis", which is a wasting disease of which tuberculosis is a form. She had been ill for a year.

Marriage Notes:

Note: Witnesses to the marriage of Richard and Katie were John Shanahan and (another) Catherine Nolan.

They had the following children:

  F i Catherine (Babe) SHANAHAN was born 14 Nov 1891 and died 24 Jan 1986.
  F ii Ellen (Ellie) SHANAHAN was born 1893 and died 19 Apr 1991.
  F iii Bridget SHANAHAN was born 7 Apr 1895 and died 4 Feb 1949.
  M iv John R. SHANAHAN was born 22 Oct 1896 and died 19 May 1974.
  M v
John SHANAHAN was born 23 Dec 1897 in Kilbaha, Moyvane, Co. Kerry.

John, who was disabled and who probably died young, was born in December 1897. However there was already a John in the family, born in October 1896. Perhaps it was the John who died young who was born in 1896, with the other John born in 1897 after the death of the first John. Further checking would need to be carried out.

According to the 1911 census returns for the Shanahan household, the number of children born alive was four and the number of children still living was four. There's only one John listed in the returns; in 1901 he was aged five, and in 1911 he was l4. A birth certificate for a John Shanahan born around 23 December 1897 was sought but not located; a birth certificate for the John born on 22 October 1896 WAS located.

William O'CONNOR [Parents] was born prob. Oct 1835 in prob. Dirreen Lower, Athea, Co. Limerick and was christened prob. 19 Oct 1835 in prob. Athea, Co. Limerick. He died Apr 1920 in prob Kilbaha, Moyvane, Co. Kerry and was buried in Old Cemetery, Knockanure, Co. Kerry. William married Johanna CUNNINGHAM on 12 Feb 1871 in Newtownsandes (Moyvane).

Sponsors at William's baptism were Daniel Mullane and Johanna Casey.

William farmed in Kilbaha North.  

In the 1901 census there's a return for the household of Kate O'Connor, also of Kilbaha North. She's the only one listed for the household, and her occupation is "agricultural labourer". The writing on the census is too faint to make out her age. She's not listed in the Kilbaha returns in 1911. If she wasn't related to our O'Connor family perhaps she was connected to Patrick O'Connor who moved to Kilbaha from Shronebeirne, Duagh in the mid-19th century (see notes for Patrick O'Connor, father of William above).

Johanna CUNNINGHAM [Parents] was born about 1850 in Kilbaha, Moyvane, Co. Kerry. She died 12 Dec 1927 in Kilbaha, Moyvane, Co. Kerry and was buried in Old Cemetery, Knockanure, Co. Kerry. Johanna married William O'CONNOR on 12 Feb 1871 in Newtownsandes (Moyvane).
