Hello Shelly & Sandra,
Thank you both very, very much for the information you so rapidly added to my enquiry today. I have located the Ancestry page for Thomas Keenan and posted an enquiry.
I will also today follow up on the leads in the obituary.
You have given me a terrific head start as I only learned a few hours ago where Thomas emigrated to in 1907.
Thank you both very much
Kindest regards
Michael Traynor
Dublin.

Thank you very much Sandra,
Yes, that's definitely Thomas okay.
I'm trying to phone the undertakers that managed the funeral of Joseph Keenan, Kennedy-Roth in Woodside. But it won't connect for me even with the correct area code from Dublin. Unfortunately their internal messaging won't allow me to email them either as I need a USA Zip code. It doesn't allow for messages from outside USA. Their website doesn't list an ordinary email address.
That's a pity as I feel they might have contact details for the family member that arranged the funeral.
I'll have to figure some way to contact them ?
Anyrate, thank you very much for all the information you have supplied to me in the past couple of hours.
Best wishes,
Michael.
