Title: KEEGAN, West Felton, Grimpo, Rednal, Woodhouse
Post by: mgw61 on Friday 28 October 11 23:26 BST (UK)

Hello
I am seeking information about my great aunt Eliza Keegan (nee Jennings)(b1886 Stapleford, Cambs) who married Richard Keegan (b1870 Oswestry, Shropshire).
They lived at 10 Grimpo, West Felton during the 1930s and 1940s. Eliza worked at Woodhouse, Rednal for many years and was later a cook at Oswestry Hospital.
Are Richard and Eliza buried at West Felton (I believe monumental inscriptions have been recorded there by SFHS)? Or elsewhere?
Any information gratefully received
Mark
Norfolk

Hi

Just to say that the Osweestry Registration District included West Felton so that the refs that Carole has given mean that they could well have died in West Felton.

See http://www.ukbmd.org.uk/genuki/reg/districts/oswestry.html

The Shropshire FHS does have an online database of MIs but I don't see any Keegans. It might be that they are too recent.

Thanks, both of you, for your help. Looks like I may need to do a 350 mile round trip to West Felton churchyard!
