KEEFEs in Kildorrery, Cork

CorkKildorrery (Cork)

Seeking information about birth of Denis and Ellen  KEEF(F)E, son and daughter of David and Catherine of Kildorrery, Cork. They were born c 1830s, migrated separately to Australia in 1850s. In Sydney Denis married Mary LONERGAN/ LONDRIGAN from Burncourt, Tipperary. Would love to know anything about the family in Ireland or in Australia. Planning visit to Kildorrery in 2013.

Hi Marie,

 

My mum was called Elizabeth Norris but was always called Betty. Her mother was called Maureen but went onto marry and was called Roche. My mum and Maureen were from Kildorrey . I don't know if you knew Stephen and Lizzie?

Hi Marie,
I use to stay with them as well loved it on the farm, I have some pictures of them. I ive in Hertfordshire. I was born in London. My mum and dad have been here since the sixties. Would your mum know my mum or Maureen? What relationship was your dad to my mum? Do u go over to kildorrey? I go every year as my dad has his family there in Mitchelstown.
