Henry Keane, assistant master Dr Stacpoole's school Kingstown

[Jonno12]

Henry Keane (born 1813) died 1887 in Kingstown. He was a classical tutor and assistant master of Dr Stacpoole's School. He had previously been a tutor at the French School Portharlington. He was married twice and his father was John Keane another tutor.
I'm hoping an obituary or other record of his life or career exists.
Any help much appreciated.

Hi

See attached 1887 Death Cert for Henry Kean - in case you don't already have it. He died on 6 Dec 1887 at Monkstown Avenue, in Kingstown (modern Dun Laoghaire).

Also attached Death Notice from Irish Times newspaper, 8 Dec 1887, Page 1; he was buried in Deansgrange Cemetery. Also an Irish Times advertisement from 9 Sep 1881, Page 2 for Kingstown School, 'formerly Dr. Stacpoole's'.

I hope this helps - best regards

Gerry,
Thank you very much for the info. I did have a copy of the death cert but not the newspaper announcement. I did pay a genealogy service who found no newspaper records so delighted to see Henrys last address and final resting place. Thank you again for the time and effort from yourself.
John

Might be worth contacting local historical society (http://dlbhs.com/wp/home/) - but you may already have done so.

There may be a memorial in Deasgrange Cemetery. Also, I think Belgrave Cottage still exists.

from another site it gives the grave number as J52 49 S
and the informant at the cemetery as Alexander Downs
