Andrew Keily : Short Biography

Andrew Keily was a church clerk, first serving in Mitchelston, where he married Margaret Ahern from Glenbrohane in the Catholic church on 17 February 1867.  They later moved to Cappoquin where they raised their family: Johanna born 22/12/1867, Catherine born 7/3/1869, Callahan John born 12/7/1870, Andrew born 19/12/1871, Mary Ann born 20/9/1873, James born 17/9/1875, Margaret born 26/11/1876, Julia born 23/4/1878 and Agnes born 28/12/1879.

Andrew's son Andrew was my great-grandfather. He and his sister Mary Ann migrated to Australia in 1892, a year after their mother's death. Their father had already passed, but I have not been able to find the date of his death.
