Patrick Joseph Killeen born 10 Feb 1903 in Offaly

Hello all, my maternal grandfather was Patrick Killeen, son of Patrick Killeen and Lizzie Groomes, born 10 February 1903 in parish Lusmagh. They lived on a small farm near Caplevane in Lusmagh. His mother died while he was a child and he and his siblings lived with various other families for some time. His sister Mary emigrated to America as a domestic and lived in New York, married a Hogan and also Martin Horan. I believe there was also a brother named Michael who stayed in Offaly in adulthood, and also other relatives. Patrick was a merchant sailor, boiler maker, and married Kilda Monks of London. Their daughter Audrey Anne is my mother.

I am keen to connect with any Killeen relatives. Thanks, Robyn Petch (nee Coate, daughter of Robert Coate (Australian) and Audrey Killeen (English, from London).
