To the best of believe only one of my uncles remained in Fermanagh , Daniel who managed the family farm in Cornahillta.

Hello Michael and Eilish! Michael, you and I are related. I would think that your John's father was Daniel Keown and one of John's brothers was Dean Keown of St Patrick's Purgatory. Duffy's also lived at Cornahilta, so it is possible that John married one of this branch. Please let me know what you need and I shall try to help. All the above are Catholic. I did not receive your original post for some reason or other, so thank you so much cousin Eilish for asking the question re religion, as I would have otherwise missed Michael's post!
