No need to have two topics on the same subject as it causes needless confusion.

Sorry for any confusion cost but you are right I am not from the area.  I'm in Scotland, where my grandfather settled. & this is very new to me.

I can't believe how close you stay to my grandfathers roots.
Mckeever seems to be a very popular name over there, where we're no do common here in Wigtownshire now spelled "Mckeevor".

I had hoped if there was a farm name I might of started a new lead for me. 

There was also an Eliza Mckeever who stayed next door but I can't find the connection 🤔.

Do you think my grandfather & siblings would of been put in a local workhouse after the parents dying?

Eliza Boyce, daughter of Eliza Ann McKeever, with grandmother Eliza McKeever in 1911-

Possibly Eliza in 1901 but age later changed for Old Age Pension?

Others researching same family (mistakes but might be useful tidbits)-
