I have been unsuccessfully searching for baptisms for Patrick and John Keogh born in Kelsha, Rathvilly. Their parents Thomas Keogh and Bridget Brophy were married on the 22nd April, 1847
at St John’s, Kilkenny City. Patrick immigrated to Melbourne, Victoria, Australia where his aunt was
already living. He married on the 21st February, 1871 and his age on the marriage certificate states
that he was 25 years old. John Keogh married Anne Whelan née Molloy a widow in Baltinglass on
the 23rd February, 1873. Bridget Keogh baptised in Kelsha on the 22nd October, 1849. Elizabeth
and Ellen Keogh were baptised in 1857 and 1859 in Paulstown, Kilkenny. The shippings records
show that the three girls put their ages back when they immigrated to Brisbane, Queensland,
Australia.

I don’t have any information on Thomas Keogh’s parents or where he was born. He died on the
25th December, 1896 in Ballygurteen. John Keogh his son was present at his death. Bridget Brophy was baptised on the 10th May, 1819 in Carrigeen, Kilkenny. Her parents were Patrick
Brophy and Bridget Delany. Bridget died on the 4th September, 1891 in Ballygurteen.

Any help would be appreciated.

Looking to find parents or siblings for Julia Crowley born about 1837 in Cronody, Cork. She married Jeremiah Callaghan on the 9th March, 1862, Julia died on the 24th January, 1911. In the 1911 census Julia’s g.nephew Jeremiah is living with the Callaghan family presumably after the death of his mother in 1907. Jeremiah’s grandmother is Ellen Dennehy née Crowley so I am assuming that Ellen and Julia were sisters.

Kind Regards
