Michael Kenny Birth Register.pdf
(719.74 KB)
The civil registration birth entry for my cousin Michael Kenny lists his birth location as Sheeane in the Athenry district. A Google search for Sheeane returns no results. Can anyone shed any light on Sheeane for me? I’m attaching a PDF of the register page. Thanks.

The townland is probably Sheeaun, and recorded with a variation in spelling. Sheeaun townland is in Clonkeen civil parish, and was part of Loughrea Superintendent Registrar's District, and Athenry sub-district, so fits with that birth.
see the entry on the Placename database for the townland. (note there are several different townlands in Co. Galway with the same name)
