Puffin, I meant to say that you have posted other threads on RootsChat about the family. Click on your user profile to see them.

Yes I know, I’ve tried to keep query’s separate especially when I’ve got new info so as not to get confused or go back on things I’ve been able to discount.  I didn’t realise that was an issue

It would be helpful if you put links to the other threads so that we can refer back to them . Otherwise people might be searching for information which has already been found.

Couldn't agree more MS. Just needs a copied  link (reference at top of page).

Also don't forget to always search Roots Chat for other threads on family names you are searching....see comment on other threads relating to Keenan.

Just wondering if you have searched on Co Mayo for the family as you mentioned that a daughter? of Jane  was perhaps born there?  Put the query on the Co Mayo board with links to the other threads you have sought info on.

Are these the same family?

Thanks, hallmark. Yes. There are other previous threads.

Why the doubt about his given name?

See link posted by hallmark's post #30. It has Bartholomew's marriage certificate.

The records office transcribed as James, but the copy certificate is Thomas, I thought it was an original copy until this forum put me right, thanks

Thanks, I’ve seen these, I don’t think there is a connection, although I am sure there are missing children from the family group unless they married late.  Mine seem to have gone to haltwhistle rather than Cockermouth.  My tree is in ansestry if you would like to look to see if anything springs out

Hi
Sorry
Not that helpful
Just another thought.  You have info from military records. It seems very brief compared to some I have for a gggrandfather at this era.   Have you double checked there isn’t a fuller record anywhere?  I got mine from Kew but I think you have to us3 one of the agencies now. It did give  a confirmation of birth place down to a tiny village in zDorset and a better age and details of occupations and where he was discharged and why - Carlisle Castle

I think I actually found a birth for him a couple of days ago after many mysterious years. Not helped by using differing surnames with no reason I can see.!

Good hunting!  Best wishes
