Keough family from Holycross, Tipperary early 18th century

Hi Margvk.  Yes there is record of headstone in the graveyard in clogher in the parish of Clonoulty  erected by Mary Cummins, in memory of her father Thomas Keough of Clohane.

There is also a headstone  erected by Judith Keough Nodstown, in memory of her husband  John Keough died 1848. and her daughter Mrs Johanns Ryan died 1879.

Another headstone  to Catherine Keough  Nodstown  died 1920.

The Catholic Church records for Holycross parish did not start until 1834,  It is possible they were from Clonoulty, where records started 1805, plus the mention of Nodstown

in the parish of Boherlahan/Dualla where records started in 1809 could help

Best of luck with your research, let me know if you have any questions.

Hi Christina

Wonderful to hear from you and thank you for the information. Are you aware of any online photographs of the 1829 grave of Thomas Keogh?

I have tried to find online information on the Keogh/Keough and Costello families in the Holycross area but am confused at times about the town and parish records, as I have never been to that area. I suspect some places have had name changes. For example, there is a record for a Thomas Kaugh(or Keogh) in the Ireland Diocesan And Prerogative Wills & Administrations Indexes 1595-1858. He died in 1829. It states that he was from Clohane in the district of Waterford, Diocese of Cashel and Emly. I can only find Cloghane which seems to be miles away in Co Kerry. His memorial also says Clohane.

Do you have any more information on Thomas Keogh, died 1829 and buried in the Clogher cemetery ?

Many thanks

Margaret

  Hi again Margvk,  Clohane/Cloghane was in the civil Parish and Catholic parish of Holycross near Thurles in Co Tipperary.

The inscriptions for the Graveyard in the Village of Clonoulty are on line at Tipperary Studies Digitisation Project  I feel the Inscriptions For The Graveyard in Clogher

My grandfather was Lawrence Keogh and lived in clonmel. My mother was born in 1930 and it seems was brought to England by her mother in 1933 without her father who was never seen again after they moved to England. My mother was the youngest of 5 children all have now passed away but I would love to know some more about the Keogh famiy.

Hi again Margv, I may have more information on your ancestor,s Keoghs and Cummin,s
