  • Jason,

    You say that the birth and census records are not James Killeen, but keep in mind that the age stated at death can vary about 5 years either way...older or younger. If he was born in 1891, then his death in 1982 at 92 years of age is very close...only one year off. Given that his father was a publican, and his mother took over that same job as evidenced in the 1901 and 1911 censuses, then he became a publican, my guess is that this is who you are looking for. I looked on two sites for his marriage record to Elizabeth Gleeson post 1911 (when he was single), but did not locate anything. Are you confident about his wife's name?

    Regards,

    I guess you are right about your statement 

    I only know little bit about James Killeen which already started but according to his son is Mick Killeen said his father didn’t talk about his father unlike his siblings

  • Jason,

    Not sure with the publican connection, Ballinsalone connection with his father's death, James' birth, and James' daughter birth, why you don't think the James on the 1911 census is yours? Like Carolyn, I have not found a marriage record nor baptismal records for his children. Based on his headstone, his wife's name was Elizabeth.

    Regards- Mary

  • Jason,

    James was about 6 when his father died so he might not know a lot about him. In addition to the siblings listed on the 1911 census above, the 1901 census shows Michael 18 and Pat 16. When John Killeen died in 1897, his daughter Katie witnessed. She was not on the 1901 census.

    Per RootsIreland (paid subscription), a John Killeen and Eleanor Kelly married in 1880 in Moore, Roscommon.

    Regards- Mary
