Does anyone have any information about the Bishop's siblings? A cousin and I are certain of the identity of his parents, Michael Keating and Margaret Cummins. Our ancestor was likely a sister of the Bishop, but we have no proof. There is also a Richard Keating that is part of the family somehow.

A belated welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!
We are doing a cleanup operation of older messages that did not receive a response and we apologize that you did not receive a reply last year. We have very few volunteers in Co. Wexford.
From reading your family story, it is clear that you and your relatives have spent countless hours researching your Keating family. There is not much I can add. I did find an 1834 Tite record for a John Keating in Ballinavary http://titheapplotmentbooks.nationalarchives.ie/reels/tab//004587423/004587423_00135.pdf which I presume is the John Alphonse in your document.
I also located a 1901 census record for a Keating family http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Wexford/Bree/Ballinavary/1785908/ with two unmarried Keatings born around 1820.
We have an XO Chronicles site https://irelandxo.com/ireland-xo/history-and-genealogy/ancestor-database If you are interested, could you consider adding Margaret and others to the Clonmore parish page and also the Bishop to the Ferns parish page.
Let me know if you have any questions.
