Thomas Francis Shannon who died on 21-2-1951 had mother Mary Jane SHANNON & no father listed.
This leads back to the birth of Thomas Francis Shannon on 15-8-1893 to that same mother - Mary Jane SHANNON. Madeline Mary Jane Pilcher (nee Shannon) who died on 7-2-1952 had parents Joseph Shannon and Isabella Peters. We think this is the same Mary Shannon who came to Oz in 1883 aged 7. She gave birth to Thomas when she was 17 and unmarried. About eight years after Thomas' birth she married Lewis John Pilcher. Thomas would probably have been raised by Joseph & Isabella and later by Lewis & Madeline (Mary Jane).Thomas would probably have been raised by Joseph & Isabella and later by Lewis & Madeline (Mary Jane). He was almost exactly the same age as his uncle Joseph Alfred Shannon and may have thought of him as his brother. Obit Feb 1951 (continues Florence Madden's obit] "The same day the shadow of death fell on the bereved family, when Mr. T Shannon brother-in-law of the late Mrs Ferguson, passed away. [husband of Nell Shannon nee Madden] Mr. Shannon was widely known in Ayr having lived in the district for 36 years. Tom, well liked and respected by all who knew him, had worked with the Shire Council for 20 years and retired several months ago owing to ill-health. A large number of the Council staff and many friends paid their last tribute at the funeral which left the Church of England at 4 p.m. on Wednesday." |
