Rowe

[Benand]

Looking for information on Edward Rowe whose occupation was given as Light Keeper on his daughter's marriage record in 1924, in Kilrane church. Any help would be appreciated

No name or birthyear/birthplace details given for the daughter to help with any search. 

Presuming the daughter was born in Ireland & if she married in 1924 she should be on the 1911 census?  Have you looked?

My colleague and I have searched the census using variants of the surname, but no Edward with that profession, no information on Agnes other than her marriage record

[heywood]

Yes I did the same - it’s odd.

Do you have the couple in later years?

[Benand]

John Keogh was from county Kilkenny and they moved there where they had their family. John died young. I have been in contact with Irish Lights but they couldn't find any records of Edward

There is this Agnes - the age is out a bit too

In 1895, Edward is a Railway Porter but may have changed jobs in the intervening years

1911 Edmond is a Farm Servant
