Wondering if anyone has known connections to Thadeus Keane (abt 1805-bef 1858) and Mary Lyne (abt 1806-bef 1858).

Their daughter, Mary Keane (recorded as Kane) was married to Cornelius Shea in Ottawa, Canada in 1858.

I have scoured the church records and other sources for Mary Keane's birth and based on information from her marriage certificate and Killeentierna church records, it appears she was likely born in 1840 or 1841 (despite the baptismal record saying Mary was born and baptized in October 1842).

Thadeus Keane and Mary Lyne appear to have been married in Castleisland on 5 Nov 1836 then settled in Killeentierna where they had at least 4 children:

- Ellen (baptized 29 May 1838)

- Mary 

- Catherine (baptized 17 Jul 1842)

- Daniel (baptized 5 Jul 1842)

I only have a subscription to Ancestry plus the NLI church records searches in Killeentierna and Castleisland.  Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
