Looking for the birth details of William Keane of new inn bullaun. Married Catherine Silver in 1894 in Loughrea. Father listed as Martin Keane. Cannot locate. Also trying to place Martin or his father in Griffiths or the Tithes. Are there bullaun graves online?
Gavan:
Bullaun is a very small civil parish with four townlands. William lived in Gortcam see census records below. I checked the 1856 Griffiths for Bullaun and no Keanes were listed. So either Martin was too young to lease land or he was in another parish (there are 11 Martin Keanes in the Griffiths for Galway.)

William was likely born in the early 1860s. The census ages were consistent and point to an 1865 year of birth but I could not find a civil birth index record. I also checked Roots Ireland but they did not have a William Keane baptismal record from 1853-1873 with a father named Martin.

Did you have any luck finding Martin Keane? I believe this is my relative, perhaps I can be of assistance?
