Evelyn Philip Shirley (22 January 1812 - 19 September 1882), was a British politician, antiquary and genealogist. He sat as Member of Parliament for County Monaghan from 1841 to 1847 and for Warwickshire South from 1853 to 1865. Shirley married Mary Clara Elizabeth, daughter of Sir Edmund Lechmere, 2nd Baronet, in 1842. They had one son, Sewallis Shirley, and three daughters. He served as High Sheriff of Monaghan for 1837 and as High Sheriff of Warwickshire for 1867. (from Wikipedia) Monaghan was part of an ancient kingdom of Oriel, formed in 330 CE, which also included Louth and Armagh. The Anglo-Norman advance in the 13th century broke up Oriel, but Monaghan remained dominated by the MacMahons and lay outside the main area of Anglo-Norman influence. In 1589 a large area came under the English crown, and two years later the county was divided into estates between seven MacMahons and a McKenna. Monaghan was not therefore included in the later plantation of Ulster. (from Britannica). Near Fine .
