And that is as far as my research has taken me to a dead end I would love to know where in Ireland they came from and more about THOMAS.
If anyone can find more I would appreciate any input.
The family are living at at 4 Moyart Street, Paddington, the Head is EDWARD Sheehan, age 45, (DoB c1866), a Shoeing smith, born Lismore, County Waterford, Ireland, so that gives you a possible place to look for a baptism. Wife Mary is age 60, born Paddington, (presumably London) and the two sons are Edward 20 and Thomas 19, both born Kilburn, London. It also advises that Edward and Mary have been married 22 years and only had two children.
I cannot see a marriage in London c 1889 between an Ed--- Sheehan and a Mary but there is a possible marriage between an Edward SHEEN and a Mary Ann Brooks in Fulham March 1891, 1a, 407. Mary is considerably older than Edward/Edmund, so presumably had an earlier marriage, so if this was their marriage then her maiden name was probably not Brooks. You will need to purchase the certificate and if it is the correct marriage you may be able to ascertain her maiden name from her father's name, if it is quoted.
I cannot either see the childrens birth registration, but there is an Edward SHEEN registered in Fulham, Dec 1893, 1a, 285, this date matches his birth date as given in 1901.
In 1891 Edward is with a family Headed by a Clifford and Mary Valentine and their 7 children, ages 11 months to 17 years, the youngest incidentally named Edward John Valentine. Clifford Valentine married Mary Wilson, Kensington, Sep.1872, 1a, 367. I cannot find this family in a later census except some of the children who had moved on. The reason I quote this family is that Mary Valentine/Wilson was age 40, the exact same DoB that Mary Sheehan quoted in 1911. Did Mary Valentine run away with the lodger and took his surname? If so I do not think that the couple entered into a formal legal marriage.

Thomas the head of the family quoted is 52, Edward was 35 at the same time 1901, so Thomas is not his father. He could be an elder brother of an extended family with Edward as a much younger member. More probably though Thomas is a cousin the son of an elder brother of Edward's father. There is no way to tell other than to find RC baptisms in that area giving parents names.
