look up keogh

[jo_46]

I've finally knocked a brick out of the brick wall of the o'neill family history.

Ive managed to contact my aunt in scotland and she has told me she thinks my great grandmother was called Elizabeth keogh ( maiden name).
On the LDS website i found 2 Elizabeth Keoghs.  One born 1865 and one born 1872. For some reason I feel it could be the first as it seems she had a brother called Laurence.  My granfather's brother was called John laurence O'neill.  i'm probably plucking at straws again.
i was wondering if anyone can find a marriage for Elizabeth Keogh and matthew o'neill?  The family lived in kilcullen.
Any help would be grarefully received.

Index to Irish civil registrations is online (free) so you can search for the marriage yourself and if you find a match you'll have the details needed to order the certificate (names, year/quarter, registration district, volume, page).

Look up the phone book for the Kilcullin Library and ask the librarian in the Heritage area.

Hi,

I have an Elizabeth Keogh in my family tree. My g-g-grandmother was Elizabeth Keogh. She married a Patrick Dillon in @1850-1852, so safe to assume she would have been born @20 years previous to that. (I haven't come across the birth or death record yet)

They lived in Ballybarney, near Calverstown, which is no more than 5 miles from Kilcullen.  I know when I was looking up the records there were a lot of O'Neill's as witnesses, etc., on my family tree records.  I couold dig them out and have a look??

Not sure if any of this helps or not.

Hi Maureen,

My name is Fiadh (from Maynooth) just discovered my connection to a Patrick Dillon from Ballybarney who married an Elizabeth...(I assume your g g grandmother Keogh). Do you know if they had a child called Frances/Fanney/Fanny born around 1851? Trying to track a connection to Carlow potentially from DNA results but coming short on where the Carlow connection comes in. Any details available about Patrick Dillon/Elizabeth Keogh would be much appreciated.

Otherwise.
You need to have a look in Narraghmore parish records for a baptism.
