Hi James,
I would recommend this site for investigation.

It answered many of my questions.

Hi,

I am interrested also in this family. I identified 9 children born in Co. Longford. Children of James Keenan and Catherine Reilly:

i.   Brigid Keenan was baptised on 25th April 1866 in Carrickedmond, Co. Longford.
ii.   Maria Anna Keenan was baptised on 2nd September 1867 in Carrickedmond, Co. Longford.
iii.   John Keenan was baptised on 12th March 1869 in Carrickedmond, Co. Longford.
iv.   Catherine Keenan was born in 1871 in Mornin, Taghshinny, Co. Longford. 
v.   Laurence Keenan was born in 1873 in Mornin, Taghshinny, Co. Longford. 
vi.   James Joseph Keenan was born on 26th February 1875 in Mornin, Taghshinny, Co. Longford.
vii.   Edward Joseph Keenan, born 1881 in Mornin, Taghshinny, Co. Longford   
viii.   Thomas Joseph Keenan, born 1883 in Mornin, Taghshinny, Co. Longford. 
ix.   Margaret Mary Keenan was born about 1886 in Mornin, Taghshinny, Co. Longford.

What part of Westmeath was Patrick born in? The place in Westmeath would perhaps be Catherine's home place, which would be of interest. Do you know where they married?

Are you a Keenan grandson?

Best wishes,

Marie
