Can anyone help with what school they might of addended in this area

Ringsend School is most likely one- was turned into a private dwelling when school closed, knocked down a number of years ago and new bungalow rebuilt- see here
Old school would have been on left, just before Shanlongford Road, house along road on right was Cochranes who had the mill

1892-1910 6a David McKeever renting house & office from James Tannahill. 1910 changed to Coleraine R.D.C. (when cottages would have been built) but David McKeever in 19 B a from 1908 (dates in book only guide)

What does no return of daur Elizabeth mean? 🤔  & what did John Mckeever hire?
I found John on the griffiths valuation!  (Sorry if these seem silly questions ha)

R.D.C meaning?  6a - 19B - are these cottage numbers? What would the office be hired for?

Don't be afraid to ask questions. This is all new too you and there's lots of information posted very quickly which will probably take a while to make sense for you.

R.D.C meaning?  6a - 19B - are these cottage numbers? What would the office be hired for?
R.D.C. is the Rural District Council which I mentioned earlier
'Office' is any sort of outbuilding- barn, stable, piggery, etc.

6a & 19Ba are the property numbers for valuations. Starting from Griffith's Valuation (mid-1800s) and continuing until c1930 the valuation records are online and document a property showing tenant & their landlord, description (house, etc.), acreage, annual rent & changes in occupier. These numbers will also appear on valuation maps- see here: http://www.askaboutireland.ie/griffith-valuation/

McKEEVER Elizabeth John McKEEVER Elizabeth McKEEVER Shanlongford Aghadowey Coleraine Londonderry 1851 - John & Betty McKeever md 1842, no return of a daur Elizabeth.  Elizabeth born June 1851 1921 - Agents, Ballycrum, Limavady, Co Londonderry
In 1921 Elizabeth McKeever made a pension application giving someone at Ballycrum, Limavady as contact. She stated her parents were John & Elizabeth McKeever of Shanlongford. The 1851 census was checked in Dublin (this was just before it was destroyed) and that census said John & Betty McKeever were married 1842 but no daughter Elizabeth listed in household. It would seem that Elizabeth either said she was born June 1851 or this was proved otherwise.

John MCKEEVER - - Shanlongford Aghadowey Coleraine Londonderry Hired with Jack MCCURDY.
At an unspecified date a John McKeever of Shanlongford made a pension application saying he was working for Jack McCurdy at the time of census (1851?). No indication if he was located in census or any other details.

If you go to Griffith's Valuation, search for Shanlongford, click on 1st choice (Aghadowey Parish) the click occupants:
1- Alexander Cochrane (house & mill I mentioned in Streetview image- junction of present Boleran Road & Craigmore Road)
2- National School (Ringsend School)
5th entry (4b) is John McKeever in a house belonging to John Millen. Since such houses often were associated with a farm labourer's employment it's possible he worked for this John Millen (who had the flax mill) at this stage.

Now click on 2nd map view for John McKeever- you can adjust slider from modern to historical maps, zoom in, etc.

John McKeever was living up this lane (lots of new houses built there over the last 10 or so years)- see here
This is one of those new houses which is for sale at the moment-

Do you think Patrick could of been a son of Eliza (Also in workhouse) as Patrick is stated as 7 in the 1911 census 🤔
Eliza McKeever died age 25 in 1917 also of TB-
