Trying to locate Belinda Keoghs origins

[ballydw]

Belinda Keogh married Thomas O Shea 5th Nov 1893 St Finbarrs Church Cork City
Her father (deceased) Joseph Keogh a Draper.
Belinda & Thomas O Shea in 1901 Census Spittal Street, Cloyne Co Cork. Belinda states she was born Co Louth.
In 1911 Belinda states she is born Cork  so confusing.  Belinda age in 1901 37yrs.
Belindas mother possibly Belinda Hession.
Thanks for any help.

Have you looked on http://ifhf.rootsireland.ie/search.php it shows there is one birth/baptism record and one census in that name in all the counties

Thank you the Belinda Keogh on census 1911 in carlow so not mine as my belinda married in 1893.  Her father Joseph was dead at this time so wont find him on a census . I am wondering are there any directories which may list Joseph Keogh a Draper.  Trouble is I dont know where he was located

Probably same as ballydw found...
Baptism 27 September 1857
St Peters Drogheda, Armagh, Louth
Belinda Margaret Keogh
Parents Joseph and Belinda (Heshan)

It would mean she was a little evasive about her age but not unknown.
There is a piece in a newspaper about a coroners inquest ( Cavan Observer 28th July 1860)  about a Joseph Keogh, proprietor of a pawnbrokers shop, West Street, Drogheda and the death of his wife Belinda on the 19 th inst.
Whether this is the above couple is unsure

Sorry, not sure about that, could nt find any newspaper references to a Joseph Keogh, Draper but there were drapers along West Street . Not sure the occupation fits but perhaps he changed occupations.
Also daughter Belinda does nt seem to use he middle name or initial .
Did find this..
"Deaths
25th July 1860.
On Thursday evening in West Street, Drogheda after a short illness, Bellinda, wife of Mr Joseph Keogh, broker, Very sincerely regretted R.I.P"

Thanks Cathy I expect Draper as on belindas marriage cert could mean broker. So Belinda was only 3yrs when her mother died - Wonder if Joseph remarried or when he died.  Belindas address on her marriage was in Cork City as a shop assistant.
