Matthew Keane was born in 1797. In 1816, he enlisted with the East India Company. he was formally a slater of Moyoally, Meath. ( also spelt Monalty & Mognalty in his military record). Can someone tell me which is correct? Matthew Keane had a son, John Matthew Keane born 1827 who married Mary Ann Barnes. Louisa Anne Keane (my g grandmother) born 19 Apr 1859 and baptized at Moosan India and resided at Agra, India. Other childen were Ralph McCourt Keane, baptized 7 Jul 1870 and John Barnes Law Keane, born 1 Apr 1857. Would appreciate any help and suggestions on how I can research the Keane surname in Meath. My father was named Keane so he would not forget his roots. Pippa
