Moses Keady born circa 1798 in Castlebar county Mayo (and Canada 1874) is the eldest son of William Keady and Ann McGee. He was known as a cabinetmaker. It is suggested that Moses of Donaughmore may have been William Keady's father and that he died prior to 1827 and William inherited the Donaughmore land. I would like to confirm this.

When Moses Kedey was born in 1798 in Castlebar, Mayo, Ireland, his father, William, was 22 and his mother, Ann, was 22. He married Jane Norray on June 9, 1831, in Baltimore, Maryland, USA. He then married Rebecca Minerva Landon and they had five children together. He died on March 5, 1874, in Fitzroy Harbour, Ontario, having lived a long life of 76 years, and was buried in Fitzroy, Ontario. Cause of Death: Acute Bronchitis

    Kildavnet Freeholders List

    <p>A unique Census Substitute for the townland of Carrickkildavnet aka Kildavnet in 1829. This Freeholders List can provide useful information about those who held enough land to register to vote. While the smaller tenant farmers who suffered most during the Great Famine won't appear on this list, there may be a few surprises included here (that didn't appear on Tithe applotment records). These could be partners on a freehold lease. Can you find your ancestor's name below?</p>
