Gender
Male

He had eleven children with Mary Keenan between 1848 and 1874. It appears that as a child sadly died they would name a subsequent child after that one, so we have 2 James, 2 Catherines and 2 Edwards. There was a Mary born 1860 who does not appear on the Glasgow 1861 Census.

John & Mary Appear on the 1861 Scotland Census living at 335 Gallowgate with Mary's Mother Catherine Keenon aged 50. This shows their two Sons Owen (my GG Grandad) born Saintfield County Down (I have the evidence) and youngest at that time John.  However their daughter Mary was bapt 25 Nov 1860 in Ballymore Co Armagh so they came over between her birth and the Census of 1861.

Census 1861 says born Ireland. Their 1st Child Catherine McAteer was born on 10 September 1848 in Monaghan, Monaghan.

On Johns death cert it is witnessed by his Brother James. I can not find any trace of Johns Birth otr marriage to Mary Keenan. I can not find any info on his brother James. 

I know from his death cert that Johns Father was Owen and his Mother was Catherine Gardiner - nothing else so far.

    Travelling Folk in the 1930s

    <p>Between 1937 and 1939, primary school pupils across the Republic of Ireland interviewed the elderly in their neighborhood to collect and record local stories and folklore from the 19th century. "The Schools Collection" as it became known is held by the Dúchas Folklore Collection in UCD and is and has been digitized online at duchas.ie. One of the topics schoolchildren were asked to write about were "Travelling Folk" or An Lucht Siúil. </p> <p>Here is a selection of what "settled" children wrote about travelers in the late 1930s.</p>
