Apparently Grange was the name for Knocknagranshy, the townland where the Keatings were in Griffiths.

Could you give me the reference for the article you found?

Here it is 

It's sad really as Geoffrey's children were fighting for 15 years over his will.

Wow, that's really interesting. I know somebody in the US who will be very happy to have Edmund confirmed as the brother of Geoffrey.

Interesting that it's Ellen who's the defendant. I wonder where the rest of the siblings were/

Is it possible to get a copy of the will? Wouldn't it be great if it mentioned his son Jeffrey in Australia!!

It's not on the calendar of wills which you can search here !

He died in 1870 and the will was still being fought when this article was being written in 1885.

It may never have been resolved.

I know of people who fought over wills for so long that there was nothing left.

I think the article says that in 1885 she was the only one left ~ I might not have read that right though !
