Mac Shane means son of John or Johnson. A name like that would not be confined to one geographic area. However, Mc Lysaght's the Surnames of Ireland has the name the name associated with a few larger clans. In Ulster and Louth it is associated with the O'Neills, in Westmeath with the O' Farrells.

However, I have seen in O' Dempsey clan (my own) a MacShane in the chief's line, so no specific place for the name. Funnily enough my Dempsey line started their lives in Scotland in Dalry also. They arrived from either Newry, Down or Dundalk, Louth not sure which, probably the latter.

Hi Lomond,
no matching names, but I have:
Patrick McShane= Ann Moon, Ireland, son
Michael=Mary Morgan 1877, Shettleston, Glasgow, children
Patrick, Mary, Hugh.
Hugh=Catherine Dobson 1911, Shettleston, Glasgow.

No match on William Graham.

My Graham was the mother mentioned on the DC of my oldest Dempsey in Scotland ( who came to Scotland c. 1848) He died in 1876 in Old Monkland.
The Graham was an Isabella Graham and I am assuming that the she lived and died in Ireland.
