Daniel SHINE [Parents] was born about 1869 in probably Kilbaha, Moyvane, Co. Kerry. He married Bridget AHERN (caution: not verified) on 15 Feb 1896 in Moyvane, Co. Kerry.

Bridget was widowed with a family when she and Daniel married, her first husband having been James Shanahan. The 1911 census tells us that Daniel and Bridget had been married for 15 years and had five children born alive, all five of whom were alive in 1911 (although only Maggie, Hannie and Ellen are listed).

Bridget AHERN (caution: not verified) was born about 1865 in Co. Limerick. She married Daniel SHINE on 15 Feb 1896 in Moyvane, Co. Kerry.

Other marriages:
SHANAHAN, James

I'm not entirely certain that our James Shanahan, son of John Shanahan and Mary Woulfe of Kilbaha, married Bridget, hence the caution. However we do know that Bridget married a James Shanahan of Kilbaha, and since our James appears to have been the only James Shanahan of a similar age to Bridget living in Kilbaha around this time, I'm assuming that Bridget was married to our James.

Marriage Notes:

Witnesses were William Shine and Mary Ahern.

They had the following children:

  F i
Catherine (Kitty) SHINE was born 29 Dec 1896 in Kilbaha, Moyvane, Co. Kerry and was christened 31 Dec 1896 in Moyvane, Co. Kerry. She died 21 May 1983 and was buried in Ahavoher Cemetery, Gale Bridge, Moyvane, Co. Kerry.

Kitty, who never married, ran Moyvane Post Office for many years.

  F v Ellen (Nell) SHINE was born 1 Jul 1905 and died 16 Jul 1972.

James SHANAHAN [Parents] was born about 18 Aug 1849 in Kilbaha, Moyvane, Co. Kerry and was christened 20 Aug 1849 in Moyvane, Co. Kerry. He died before 15 Feb 1896 in probably Kilbaha, Moyvane, Co. Kerry. James married Bridget AHERN (caution: not verified) about 1890 in probably Co. Limerick.

Sponsors at James's baptism were Thomas Woulfe and Bridget Woulfe. The name of James's mother is given as Margaret on his baptismal certificate.

If James was, as we believe, married to Bridget Ahern, then we know he died before 15 Feb 1896 bcause that was the date that Bridget remarried (her second husband was Daniel Shine of Kilbaha).

Bridget AHERN (caution: not verified) was born about 1865 in Co. Limerick. She married James SHANAHAN about 1890 in probably Co. Limerick.
