John O'Shea

Dates not recorded

John O'Shea is named as the father of Ellen O'Shea on her 1930 Queensland death registration. Nothing else about him is recorded. His daughter was born at Walloon, near Ipswich, in 1865, so the family was in Queensland by then and he is very likely an Irish emigrant of the 1850s or 1860s.
