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).
