Hello,
I need help finding what became of Luke Keough/Keogh. He was born about 1834-7 in Ireland.
August 1860 he married Ellen McIntyre in Morpeth. In the 1861 they are living at Oldgate Street in Morpeth. They had two children; Mary (1861) and Luke (1864), both in Morpeth.
In 1871 census Ellen is listed as still married, but the household only has her and the children. Afterwards, she has three illegitimate children Elizabeth (16/11/73), James Gregory (12/11/76) and Agnes Ann (23/3/80). James and Agnes died in infancy. By 1881 Ellen is listed as widowed. She, Luke Jr. and Elizabeth have reverted to surname McIntyre. They are living in Challoners Yard, Morpeth. So I am thinking that Luke died between 1863 and 1873, but can’t find any deaths.
I believe he is the father of my gx3 grandmother Mary Muldoon, born 1861, Morpeth. She married William Muldoon in 1879 under the surname Mary Ann Crow, but the maiden names on her children’s births ranged McIntyre, Keough and Crow. Given that Mary Keough’s brother was known as Luke McIntyre, and my ggfather had that as his first/middle name, I think there is possibly a connection.
Many thanks.
