O'Keefe/ Keef

Cork

I am looking for a Thomas O'Keef/Keef he was a Royal Marine in 1797 he married Mary Cock in St Andrews Church, Plymouth Devon.

A record I found on the National Archives Kew website says he was born Doonreas, Cork, I cannot find a place of that name so it could have been written as it sounded to the person writing it. I know from his marriage that Thomas could not read and write.

Most of his children were baptised in the Roman Catholic Church.
