<p>Hello</p>
<p>Mountshannon is in the East of Co. Clare (quite near me). I can find the RC parish name for you, will get back to you.</p>
<p>Many Irish went to Sheffiend, including my own Great Uncle who was a labourer but ended up a miner.</p>
<p>Do you have any names of parents/siblings and dates for the Mountshannon lives of your family - I could see what I can find for you here in Clare?</p>

<p>Thank you for the research offer Bit. I will be visiting Ireland next month and I hope to uncover some family history while there.</p>
<p>The link you provided on the workhouses was very interesting.</p>

<p>Gerry,</p>
<p>You are correct, St Vincent de Paul is the proper name.</p>
<p>Sheffield steel was famous for decades. It must have been an employment magnet for the substantial population of unemployed and poor Irish of the late 1800's.</p>

<p>My better half might take a look at your family lines, if you would like</p>
<p>As to Sheffield, along with Steel & SIlverplating, they were also a coal mining and limestone quarrying area.

<p>St. Vincent de Paul, James? Can anyone also tell us about the mining industry in Sheffield? Sheffield was known for steel manufacturing, as well, no?</p>
