28th January 2005	Graham Mason To finish . Sorry for the interuption . The K L Horse has his grave as showing his date of birth as April 28th 1853 and his death as Feb 23 1899 . The records comfirm he died in 1899 aged 46 but i have also found two births in London of a DANIEL SHEEHAN in 1852 and 1853 . With the life of this man being so mixed up can anyone unravel just when and where he was born ? , was it in EIRE C 1851 OR London c 1852 / 1853 ? .
