Margaret Keating Acheson
« on: Saturday 25 April 20 23:07 BST (UK) »
I am looking to confirm and find the parents of Margaret Ann Keating who married Frederick I. Acheson. They lived in San Diego, California. From a census it says they married about 1889.
They had 4 children - Ira, Helen, Thomas and Lucina.
I am only interested in her parents and back.

There is a tentative "ancestry hint" death of 25 May 1942 San Diego
There is also a tentative birth hint of 31 Jul 1867. Parents Patrick Keating and Ellen Carroll.

I am looking to discover where either Patrick Keating or his wife Ellen Carroll originally came from in Ireland. I strongly presume one of them (or their parents) came from somewhere around Clonmel, Tipperary.

Any hints welcome. Thank you very much

Diocese of Springfield, Illinois,  St Peter and Paul, Collinsville, Illinois.

1868
----

indexed in the margin as Margaritha Keating

9th day of August I baptized Margaret Anna born 31 July of the marriage of Patrick Keiten/Katen and Eleanor Carroll. Sponsors were Eleanora Hins and Joseph Hins

Katen = Keating for sure, I've worked on a Keating family. Hins probably = Hines.

Margaret's 1900 census said her parents were born in Illinois. But census information is often wrong for parents' birthplaces.

William Keating's obit is here - https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B_r4NurBsYJvNnZHbjVRWEE3OUk  It lists his parents as Patrick & Elem Keating and his sisters who predeceased him as Mrs. Mary Atachen and Mrs. Mary Noonen.  Perhaps the informant was a bad speller, or maybe mom really was Elem?

The family appears to be transcribed as Ceating or Craling in the 1870 census - https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:M6HC-ZXC

Collinsville, Edwardsville & Alton are all in Madison County, Illinois.

Here is Margaret's obit in 1942.

San Diego Union
San Diego, California
May 28, 1942

Obit: http://www.rootschat.com/links/01pd3/

==============

Something must have happened to Ellen's husband. She is remarried in 1880 census to a John Daly/Daley. The 2 oldest children (William & Margaret) appear to hers from Keating marriage, but the daughter Mary appears to a daughter from her marriage to John Daly. All the children are listed with last name Daly.

1880 census: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:MXVG-RLC

================

Something must have happened between 1880-1883. The 3 children were appointed a guardian

Alton Telegraph
Alton, Illinois
Tuesday, December 18, 1883 - Page 4

Clip: https://www.newspapers.com/clip/49569921/alton-telegraph/

===================

Edit to add-

This appears to be the marriage of Ellen to John Daley in 1879.
It appears Ellen's given name was "Helena".

This is all great. Thank you.
So it looks like Ellen Carroll parents were James Carroll and Helen Henderden? and Ellen was born in Manchester, England. A very specific detail so must be correct.

But what about her husband Patrick Keating parentage? He must be the link back to Ireland
