Patrick O'Shea ... [1]
In 1878 his parents plus siblings Julia and James had travelled to Australia on the Dunbar Castle under the surname of "Shea'. His other siblings born in Australia have O'Shea on their birth certificates. The Queensland Birth Deaths Marriages BDM website has a Patrick Michael Shea born to John Shea and Julia Sullivan on 26 Sep 1879. I am assuming this is the same person.

Patrick spent most of his working life with Queensland Railways. In 1910 he was mentioned in the Darling Downs Gazette where he was called as a witness concerning a Jondaryan murder hearing involving a railway worker.
