Does anyone have a Michael Shea that died 7/9/1877?  If so, what are some particulars about him?

I don't know if this is your guy, but  a Michael Shea married Abbia Cahill on Sept. 24, 1845. Fr. Moore united them. ( Fr. Gibson did not perform any marriages that month. Fr. Moore and Fr. McAvoy/McEvoy seem to have covered for him for the four marriages that month.) Jerry  Ciran ?? and J. Hemmining witnessed.
   I don't know how old he was or anything about the one that died in 1877, but it is not hard to imagine that a marring-age man in 1845 died in 1877.

This Michael Shea was 50, bootmaker and married when he died, parents William and Catherine (Lawlor).  There is a Michael Shea age 25 bootmaker who married Joanna Campbell 26 in 1855, parents William and Catherine Shea and John and Catherine Campbell

Thats all great info, Cheryl.  I'm leaning to finding out about the Michael that died in 1877.  The other one, I think, is too young to fit into my family.  The first one may also be too young but its as close as i've gotten to a general birth year of 1820-1825.
