I am looking at Jane's entry and I cannot make Keenan out of the writing that it there. She may be using her maiden name again. Looks like XXissan.
The children entered under her entry are James aged 16 and Bartholomeu aged 13. There is a ditto showing that they also share the name of the Jane immediately above.
The other idea could be that Daniel and John McCluskey/McClousky are the children of the father shown as William (I am not seeing Daniel as the father?) McCluskey and a prior wife to Mary.
I agree with these points.
Jane's surname looked something like O'Brien to me but can't be sure because of lines through writing. Some married or widowed Irish women were known by their maiden names.
Relationship stated was supposed to be to head of household. Therefore Daniel and John were recorded as sons of Wiliam McCluskey. William or whoever gave information may not have known his correct age. If he was the father of the 2 boys he may have been older than stated. He may have married very young.
I read "Bartholomey" which is how he signed his marriage certificate.
Railways were being constructed in Cumberland at the time, initially to carry iron ore, slate and copper from mines.
Bartholomew's father might have gone to work in Scotland or anywhere in Britain.
Bartholomews dad was a soldier according to the records, so I hoped to find him in Carlisle barrocks.
In early doccuments he ideitifies as bartholomey, I did a bit of research on Irish names sometimes the son took the name of the father but it was altered a little, but I don’t think this is the case unless bartholomew was a baby out of wedlock some how. I think he becomes bartholomew in a lot of doccuments due to the English’s spelling possibly accent issue. I always search bartholomew, bartholomy and bartholomus.
I also read that sometimes the man took the woman’s name in Ireland so i really could be looking for a needle in a haystack.
For Daniel and John to be williams even to another wife William would have been about 12 when they were born. Daniel should have been fairly easy to find as the name wasn’t common (I’ve searched Daniel mcclusky & Daniel Keenan) I don’t think he can have got the ages wrong as it’s a big jump from toddler to 12 year old child.
The only clue I have is his sister states she was born in maye Ireland in the 1891 census, I think that means mayo
I’ve gathered a good few pieces of this jigsaw, I just can’t put them together. I go off and work on other areas of my tree but I always come back to this couple
