Researching Henry KEHOE born c1791 and Johanna KIRWIN (Kirwan, sp?) born c1791 in Ireland. They married c1823 and their first child, Mary was born c1824 in Ireland. They immigrated to Canada c1825. Their religion was Roman Catholic. Henry and Johanna’s children are: Mary, Anne, John, Michael, Peter, Patrick and Henry. They settled a 200 acre farm in Bathurst Township, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada. The farm was later sold by their youngest son, Henry, in 1879. Michael Kehoe born Ireland c1799 and Ann Daly (Daley sp?) born Ireland 1805 came to Canada in 1828. Possibly one son, John. They settled a farm close to Henry and Johanna. Michael died in 1833 Peter Kehoe born Ireland 1804 and Bridget O’Toole born c1804 in Wexford (from her obit notice) came to Canada in 1831. Their children are: Ann, Ellen, Elizabeth, Mary, John, Margaret and Peter. They also settled a farm close to Henry and Johanna. I believe Henry, Michael and Peter to be brothers. Peter was enumerated as living with Henry in an 1836 census. Three of Henry’s children were enumerated with Ann in 1851. The eldest boy in each family was named John so according to naming patterns, Henry, Michael and Peter’s father could be John Kehoe. Later, in 1857, another Henry Kehoe, born Co. Wexford, Ireland c1821 with his wife, Ann Hudson born Ireland c1828 came to Canada and settled a farm close to the other three Kehoes. Their children are: Mary Ann, John Henry, Margaret, Edward, Catherine, William Henry, and Alice. I believe this family to be related to the earlier Kehoe settlers, perhaps a nephew or cousin. I would appreciate hearing from anyone who has happened across a Henry Kehoe in your research in Ireland or if you would like more information on the Canadian Kehoe’s that I have researched I would be happy to share. Thank You. Dianne Kehoe Lawrence Ontario, Canada Perhaps of interest: The first mention I found of the name Kehoe in Ontario, Canada was 1817. James Kehoe a private with 12 years service in Ireland in the 49 Reg., one female adult and two children, one male over 12 years and one female under 12 years were residing at Lot 3, Concession 1, District of Bathurst, Upper Canada. This was recorded on August 12, 1817. Nat. Arch. Of Canada Reel C-4651 #733. He is again enumerated at this location in 1821 but nothing found in later censuses. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
