keegan of ballykeenaghan rahan kings county

Hi William,

See response to Tullamore query.

All the best.

Hi William

My grandmother was Margaret Keegan from Ballykeenahan.  She was born in 1892.  She married Thomas Buckley from Newtown Rahan or maybe at that time he lived in Ballincur Rahan (not sure) but now the Buckleys live in Newtown, Rahan.

Does any of this sound familar to you or match your dates

geraldine from my ancestory margaret keegan was a married woman 1892 living in derrooly so i was hoping her family were living in ballykeenahan

but you are saying that your grandmother margaret keegan was born 1892

which begs the question your grandmothers father was who

and where did he come from

 do you have anything on his birth date

and his parents names and address

and do you know any of his siblings

and was one of them named margaret  

or geraldine maybe i will approach it another way 

your grandmother married a buckely when 

and are her parents name and address given on the marraige certificate 

geraldine on a side note 

the buckleys side of your family i have a record dated 1875 but going back to 1827 for a daniel buckley of newtown any relation of yours 

and kate buckley 1875 of newtown any relation of yours 

Yes they are my Buckleys, Daniel Buckley was my GG Grandfather

Margaret Keegan's  (granny) father was Pat Keegan and mother was Ann Birmingham.  There is also some Brien or O'Brien connection.

In granny's family there was a May 1886, Patrick, 1887, Margaret 1889, Anne 1890, Anne 1890, Margaret 1892 (granny) and Terese 1898.  

The fact there was two Margarets in the family would lead one to think the first Margaret died young and the named the second Margaret after her. (this was common enough)

How are you related to Buckleys in Newtown or are you.  Do you mind me asking where you live, I live in Leitrim but go to Rahan every 3/4 weeks.  

My email is carricktown@eircom.net

William sorry I did not answer all your questions.

I have only started searching past the Buckleys lately and was in Rahan in October and went to parish house and got some information on granny.

Keegans still live in Ballykeenahan so I am presuming Pat Keegan came from there.

Granny Margaret Keegan married Thomas Buckley and they had 4 children, I have no marrige cert yet.

As I am away from Offaly it is a bit difficult to get time to do research.

geraldine 

i have the following reference 

patrick keegan married anne birmingham in the presence of michael keegan and margaret keegan 

you say there is an obrien connection could you tell me what it is 

plus the margaret mentioned above who is she 

if you can help me out or if you know someone who knows would like to hear back from u 

William there is still Guinans in Derrooly but only one still living. (Olive Guinan)
