Looking for Birth Margaret O Keeffe
« on: Friday 23 November 18 17:30 GMT (UK) »
I have a marriage 22nd Sept 1896 Cathedral Cork for Patrick Coffey 57 Shandon St Cork Father James Coffey dead TO  Margaret Keeffe 251 Blarney St Cork Father John Keeffe Farmer Dead.
Witnesses Patrick Connolly & Nora O Keeffe.

I know Margarets mother is Mary O Keefe as by 1911 the above Margarets husband Coffey had died in 1907 & she remarried in 1910 to Denis Collins @ St Finbarrs Church West and they are living with Mgts mother Mary O Keeffe in Labaun Carrigtohill Co Cork with Margarets 2 children James Coffey a 10 & Catherine Coffey age 8.

I cannot locate Mary O Keefe (mgts mother) in 1901 Census her husband had died & daughter Margaret Husband Patrick Coffey & Son James are in House 39 Gurteenaspig (Bishopstown) Cork.

I have looked at irish genealogy to try & locate Margaret O Keeffes birth but cannot see one that fits with parents John Keefe & mother Mary. Margaret is 38 in 1911 so born circa 1873
Thanks for any help.

Hi
I can see two possible baptisms
Margaret o'Keefee  d of John and Mary Kellegher 16/21 Nov 1869 Douglas Ballygarvan, Douglas and Ballygarvan
Margareta O'keeffe  do of Johnnais and Maria Fitzgerald 7 Nov 1870 at Dunmahon Glanworth and Ballindangan

Sorry but I don't know the area and can't tell which would be the most likely.

So she was 70 on 1911 Census

She could be Keeffe or OKeeffe

Keeffe  1901 http://www.rootschat.com/links/01n2x/

Okeeffe  1901 http://www.rootschat.com/links/01n2y/

both get you the variations in spelling too  Keefe  Keeffee  etc

I forgot to put Widow in...which greatly reduces return

This search might be better
