Ann, My gggrandmother was Catherine Kehoe born approx 1812 - 1818. She married John Hickey - born approx 1805 - 1815. They had 4 girls - 3 baptised at Clonegal parish, County Carlow, and a 4th with no baptismal record I have found so far. The 3 daughters were: Elizabeth Hickey (b - 1837), Elizabeth (b-1838), Catherine "Kitty" (b 1842). The 4th daughter -Sarah - was born in 1855. The baptismal sponsors for the baptisms were: Power, Arthur Murphy, Michael Kehoe, Fitzpatrick,Michael Kehoe, and Ellen Keogh. They lived in Kilbride, Clonegal parish, at the time the girls were baptised. The one daughter, Catherine, may have married Michael Keegan at Clonegal parish. Since some of these names are similar to those you mentioned, I thought I would send you this email - just in case. Maureen Neidle In a message dated 2/22/2010 1:03:12 P.M.

As the area of interest is close to the border with Carlow and Wexford I'm branching out. My ggg grandmother was Eliza Kehoe, married to Arthur Byrne circa 1818. They were tenant farmers on the Fitzwilliam Estate in the townland of Coolross/Coolruss. Just across the road from them is the townland of Urelands/Newry. In Newry in 1827 I found a Michael Kehoe age 49 according to the FW rental papers. His wife was 42. Given that reporting of ages was unreliable, it is possible that they were the parents of Eliza. They had 4 sons and 2 daughters reported living with them. Michael was a labourer. They had 3 acres. In 1824 Michael Keyhoe in the Tithe Applotments, had 8 acres and paid 9s7d in rent. No family information is given. In 1839, Michael Keoghoe was age 65 and his wife 55. Two sons and a daughter were still with them and they had 4 acres 2 rods. In 1848 Michael was 70 and so was his wife. They had 5 acres, one son and one male servant and one female relative living with them. In 1850 both were 72 and one son was with them. That's the last I found of them. Two of Art and Eliza's children had Kehoe sponsors: Owen and Martin. I have no idea if they were related to Michael of Newry. They were baptized in the RC church in Clonegal. I only have records for the baptisms of the four youngest of Art and Eliza's family as records started in 1833 after their oldest children were born.

just coincidence but the big house in Kilbride - the gentry at the time - were the Keoghs - they spell it K'Eogh! just a little interesting note for you! ----- Mautrav@aol.com wrote: > Ann, > > My gggrandmother was Catherine Kehoe born approx 1812 - 1818.
