Mothers name
« on: Wednesday 14 March 18 10:10 GMT (UK) »
Hi All,
       I am trying to find out the name of James Keogh's wife,  James was born in 1910 to a Thomas Keogh who was a barber his mother was Elizabeth Gavin  in Ballinasloe, Galway, he moved to Dublin as a young man, he had four children that I know of Jennifer,Mary,Patricia and Noel, they used to call her Beatty (but that could be short for a few names) and that's all the info I have.

You could try for his marriage on Irish Genealogy, marriage Certs up to 1941 if he married in his 20s.

Do you know his occupation?

You can also try the children's names on FamilySearch to check for possible surnames for the mother.
I was giving it a go but the site is acting up.
