O'Keeffe - Co. Kilkenny
« on: Monday 24 November 08 11:25 GMT (UK) »
Looking for information regarding an ancestor/s of mine who came from Co. Kilkenny

Martin O'Keeffe (m) Margaret Murphy 
(dates and actual place unknown.   Martin was a farmer as with many back in them days.

They had 1 known daughter Margaret born 1853/4.   

At the age of 20, in 1874 - she mirgrated to Brisbane Australia  - on the 'Darling Downs' - that sailed from London in July 1874.

This is all I really have to go on - not much I know.

Any help would be a big help.

Jack

Hello Aussie_Jack
Rather late with this and dont know if you have had any success with this search   
http://www.askaboutireland.ie/griffith-valuation/

There is a Martin Keefe (note spelling variation) listed in Griffiths Valuation dated 1849
County            Kilkenny
Parish             Grangemaccomb
Townland        Connahy
Barony            Fassadinin
Union              Kilkenny

Grangemaccomb later became part of Conahy Parish.
