That's fantastic! You must be a second cousin then!
I have just sent you a PM with some more details, but here in brief is the story of Andew Stitt Kean:
Born August 29th 1895 at 7.30 am. at 6 Fowlds St. Kilmarnock, County Ayr to John Kean and Maggie Stitt Kean.
Andrew worked on the railways, and was killed in a train accident on 10th Jan 1943 aged 47 years, at Sheffield Royal Infirmary.
Andrew married Alice Holland on 3rd April 1920. She was 28 years (and a widow). He was a railway fireman at that time, and they lived at 28 Bloom St, Stockport.
Alice had one child, Hilma, from a previous marriage, and then Andrew and Alice had mum, Margaret Kean. Alice died when mum was four. Mum went on to marry Ernest Foster, and they had three children, me (Gaynor), my twin brother, Nicholas, and a younger sister, Valerie. Nick still lives in the UK, in Oldham, and Val and I live in Australia.
We know very little about any of the other Keans, so anything you can tell us will be wonderful!
How fantastic that we've made contact!
