John Keogh(Kehoe) and Mary Governey Family 1840s

Am looking to find relatives that may be alive of any of the 11 children of this union. The church was located in Dublin at St Nicholas where all the baptisms were recorded. I believe the oldest child Daniel 1842 may be my gt grandfather. Mary born 1844,Margaret 1849,Hugh(o) 1850,Elizabeth 1852,Julia 1856, Patrick 1857,James 1859,Joseph 1860,Lewis 1863,Francis 1864.

One more child of that couple to add to your list - birth of Thomas Stanislaus Joseph Keogh on the 7th July 1866 at 19 Spittlefields Dublin city, father John a merchant, mother Maria Governey.

Thom's DIrectory of 1863 lists the address as "Kehoe & McMillan", provision Merchants. The same details appear in the 1868 and 1869 editions. Nearby on the same street at numbers 13 to 15 is a Laurence Kehoe, yard & stores - also at 100 Francis-street - possible relation ?

The Kehoe/McMillan business at 19 Spittlefields vanishes some time in the early 1870s - by 1872 it's listed as 18-19 Joseph Byrne, butter & bacon factor.

for ref. the other children baptised St. Nicholas RC, Francis Street Dublin city (there's also a Church of Ireland parish & church of the same name.

shanew147..Thanks for that information especially the addition of Thomas Stanislaus.  Daniel of 1842 has proven very elusive.  If he is as I believe the same person as my gt grandfather, he was well documented coming to the States but impossible to find after 1900. Those years here when a person became deceased would have been documented in multiple locations. Thanks again

Hello

I have just seen your post. My grand father was a Stanislaus Keogh. He  owned a thriving Sac & Jute Business, & employed a large no of poor Women, from the inner City tenements. Who worked on the Sacks. KEOGH & CO. Situated on Georges Quay, Dublin. He dissapeared in 1964!

Maybe this is helpful? I am researching his background and trying to find out what may have happened to him?

I came across Maria Governey in this post. My mother was Governey.  The Governeys resided in Ballylinan in 18th-20th century.  I have extensively researched them. I have  most of Maria's information viz. marriage, all children (12?), death of her and husband John Kehoe.  I cannot seem to find any evidence of her birth/baptism.  1822/23?  I would appreciate any information. I am happy to share same. I can do so over email.  I will watch this post for next few weeks.
