This is all great stuff, I will need to tie some stuff together on my end but you have all the connections there.
Leslie Scott and Elizabeth Keatley had several children I was aware of:
Daisy Connor
John Connor
Edith Connor
Annie Connor
Violet Connor

We thought Violet had been married to someone named Leslie Scott but that may be wrong. We also got the name Violet Noonan from an old notebook my grandmother kept.

Pretty certain the Annie Josephine you found yesterday is Leslie and Elizabeths Annie, the pieces fit.

There was a Mary Keenan that my grandmothers children called Auntie may. There were stories that she was a child Christopher keenan had out of wedlock.

She later married and had a Daughter named Maureen who is dead now. I believe the surname when she got married was Kane/Cain or some variation of that. Not sure this is the same Mary Keenan though as the dates dont match up. This Mary died later than the one reported by Annie connor.
I would hazard a guess that the Mary Keenan whom Annie Connor was the informant of, was some relation of Christopher (Sister/Aunt/Cousin) and Annie was living with her. I get the impression that she must have fallen out with her mother as she uses the name Connor while working as a maid.

We were aware that she had married John Killick but had never really gone down that road.

Just on John Leslie's brother Willis. We originally thought that Elizabeths first husband was a doctor and went looking for records in the Royal College of Surgeons. Naturally we found nothing but now that we know it was Willis that was the doctor, it may be worth re-visiting for confirmation.

on a side note, John Killick owned a photography store in Bray Co.Wicklow, on the same street as his address in the previous census record.

Thanks dathai, that's all really interesting information.

I am currently awaiting information from parishes in Athy regarding Michael Keenan and Elizabeth Keatley.

I will probably start a new thread if I find anything fruitful and will post a link here for disclosure.

Thanks again.

May help trace the Keatley/Keightley's back a bit further

John Christopher Keatley born Dec 1870 Longford St, brother of Elizabeth, informant was Anne Corley   ( John jnr died 1872 age 1 buried in Glasnevin as Keightley with address containing Longford )
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/birth_returns/births_1870/03324/2218657.pdf

St Michans Church 1st August 1859
Bernard Corley married Anne Keatley of 8 Halston St, stating that her father John Keatley was dead and her mother Elizabeth was alive at 31 Cook St, the witness appears to be her brother John of 31 Cook St.
https://churchrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/display-pdf.jsp?pdfName=st.michans_mf_1856-1888_ma_0330

Glasnevin also shows a burial of a John Keightley age 36 in 1877
