Thank you Cara. The John McKeon information you sent could possibly refer to a cousin of my John as the two were around the same age. My great grandfather John died in Manchester in 1873 also at the age of 42. His son James born in Ireland was not his first child according to my aunt and mother so it is doubtful that John's father was named James according to family naming patterns, although not impossible as all previous children apparently died in infancy, and of course the same name was often given to later children. The family was supposed to have connections with both Dun Laoghaire and Dalkey, but that may have been after 1856 too. Thank you for your efforts.
