Hi, My husband's grandfather was Jeremiah Daniel Keating.
Born around 1842 in Cahirciveen, County Kerry.
My husband is from Daniel's second marriage to Mary Doody.
Daniel worked for the railroad in Texas.
Does any of this sound like your Daniel?
Thanks,

Found these in Boston Pilot might be worth keeping in your files
7 October 1854 GEOFFREY KEATING, of Caherciveen, parish of Everaugh, co Kerry, who went to London, got married and came from there 2 yrs ago or more, and was at Mich Kelly's 1 yr ago last Christmas. His wife and two children are now at Mr Kelly's and would like to hear from him. Address M Kelly, Box 262 Springfield P O, Clarke co, O. Volume III: 1854 - 1856

Hi. only reading your message regarding the Keating Family of Cahirciveen. Would you know is this the same family that in 1966 , J.C.Keating & sons Ltd salvaged 120 kilometers of the (copper) International Telephone Cable which ran from Valencia Island, County Kerry to America. On a tape recording of my grandfather in 1973, he recounts when he was in the army they were stationed on the Island to protect the cable station just before the out break of WW1 in 1914. The cable station is well documented but I cannot find any further info on the salvage. Any info or photos would be much appreciated.

Dunleavey the writer and David Manley who was involved in setting up the Irish Lottery, we were all on the bus heading into the terminal, J. P was wearing slippers, he had gout, Micko looked great as did David, I did not look too bad my self, nice suit, We had a good laugh, those were the good days. Micko had the hotel in Waterville, the Bay View.

My Aunt Noreen married Eoin O'Connell in Cahirciveen 1948, Eoin's sister Niamh married Toddy O'Sullivan, Gresham Hotel, Dublin.
I believe their son Conaill still holds the record for the swim the point to Valentia.

who came before Danial Keating.I remember my father talking about him. how he was taken away off down the slough by the fairies one night, all night walking around did not know where he was, his boots filled with water from falling into holes. He came back in the morning, no sleep and nearly drowned. Another night he walking down the cross from John Thaigh's , and at Mac's he seen an old woman sitting on a coffin. Who was it, but his aunt that died in America the day before and she said to him 'trom do lamh', which is 'give me your hand'; he replied in Gaelic ' I will not, or my foot'
Is there any way I can get information on the ones that came before them

Hi everyone
It's very interesting reading all your stories, and there seems to have been a lot of Keatings in Caherciveen!
I've been trying to track down my grandmother's Irish family who was born Kathleen Teresa Wood in Caherciveen. Her mother was Ellen Mary Keating, born around 1866 and whose father was a Jeremiah Keating born around 1824. I know from the census that Jeremiah was a draper and grocer but don't know anything else about him.
I've been told that Ellen Mary had a sister called Kate and she never married and moved to Waterville.
The only other things I know is that somewhere along the line there were Sullivans and that Maurice was a family name - my grandmother had a brother called Maurice and named her son, my father after him.
Ellen Mary married a James Wood who was English, and who worked at the cable station. My grandmother Kathleen (Kitty) also married a worked at the cable station called Edgar Barton and eventually they all moved back to Liverpool, which is where James came from originally.
If anyone could help me with any info, or suggest a line of enquiry, I'd be really grateful!
Many thanks
Hilary

Hi Hilary,
I believe that Jeremiah was originally from Letter which is a few miles outside Cahirciveen. 4 of my grandmothers sisters married telegraphists.
1881 Slaters Directory of Cahirciveen Jeremiah is recorded as a Grocer and Draper it also says he was a Butter Exporter. In all probability Jeremiah J
Keating who is listed in the 1901 Census was a son of Jeremiah who was living in Waterville 1901 with his daughter Ellen.
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Kerry/Caher/Main_Street/1403664/
Jeremiah J was born 1857, father Jeremiah Keating and Margaret Sullivan, there are other children recorded to the couple including Catherine 1861.
There was also another Butter Exporter in Main Street, Cahirciveen, Maurice Keating.

Hi Brendan

Hi Hilary, my great grandmother was Mary Clare Keating, born Caherciveen 1865, and her father was Jeremiah Henry Keating, of coincidence, her mother-in-law, was Ellen Keating, born in Kerry in 1825, married to John Fitzpatrick, they both died in Allahabad in India.
I don't have any history on Jeremiah.
Do you think there is any connection ?
Regards

Hello, GAJM,
You posted the following Boston Pilot ad:
"14 March 1868 ELLEN KEATING and CATHERINE KEATING, of Cahirciveen, county Kerry, Ireland. They are daughters of John Keating and Mary Keating (maiden name Mary Laurence Sullivan). Ellen came to this country about 17 years ago, and Alley [sic] and Catherine about five years later. I heard Catherine lived in a place called Winnooskie Falls, near Burlington, in 1862; but I wrote and got no answer. I believe the three sisters were together one time in Burlington, Vermont, some years ago. They might be there still for all I know. Any information of them, dead or alive will be thankfully received by their brother, Cornelius Keating, Penobscot Station, near Whitehaven, Luzerne county, Pennsylvania, in care of David Ross. Volume VI: 1866 - 1870."
I'm trying to find out more about this family, to see if they are related to Honora Keating, my great great grandmother, born circa 1833 in County Kerry. Honora's parents were John and Sarina Keating, according to her death certificate. I think the Sarina must have been a nickname, as I have not seen that name on any Irish records. Honora married William Welch in New York state in about 1854, and by 1856 they had settled in Wisconsin, where they lived for the rest of their lives.
I found a marriage record for a Katherine Keating who married a Charles Elrie in Burlington, Vermont, on May 6, 1861. The bride's parents were John Keating and Mary. I feel certain she must be the Catherine that Cornelius in the ad above was looking for. But I can't find anything else about this couple, not in censuses or anywhere, nor anything more about Catherine's sisters Ellen and Ally.
Can anyone tell me anything more about this family?
Thank you SO very much!

Hello, Are you still seeking information on the Keating/ Welch connection? It looks like I may have some information on some of the people you mentioned in a post.
-
Hi, there, thank you so much for replying!
I have found out a LOT more about my Keating family since I wrote that post. My Honora Keating was born in Curravough, Tralee, County Kerry. Her husband William Walsh/Welch was born in Tullamore, Listowel, County Kerry. They met in upstate New York.
I have a LOT posted on Find a Grave and on Ancestry.com about my Walshes and my Keatings, so you might have seen some of my information. (Molly H.)
My family does have a close dna match--- several of us match, including one person who is ONLY related to us through the Keatings of Curravough--- with a descendant of a Keating of Cahersiveen.
I would be interested in hearing what you know, if you think it would pertain. Thank you very much for being willing to help. I appreciate it.

I’m descended from Jeremiah Daniel born 1842 and Mary Doody. They were my grandfather’s grandparents. My grandpa was Jeremiah David Jr., and I have some information on the Texas family. Let me know if you’re interested. I’m looking into the generations before him in Ireland.

Hi everyone,
I am new to genealogy and looking into my Irish ancestry. My mother had saved some information, which I have used to get started but it is a bit hard to decipher. Unfortunately, she is now deceased. I would love if anyone could help me fill in the details.
I am a great grandson of Jeremiah Daniel Keating who was born in Caherciveen during 1842. His parents were Daniel Keating and Mary Murphy.
Some of her notes state that Daniel Keating rented land from Daniel O’Connell and that the O’Connell family helped pay in part for the emigration of Daniel Keating’s children to the U.S. I have a letter of recommendation for employment signed by Daniel O’Connell, Caherciveen.
Any help is much appreciated. I would very much love to see copies of old documents, letters, etc. that are available.
