(O)KEEFFE family

LaoisDurrow (Laois)

Hello,

I am seeking any information on Margaret KEEFFE born 1834 in Durrow. Her parents were Laurence & Hanoria nee BRYAN though it may possibly have been BRIEN or BERGIN. May have lived at 'Imovet' .Possibly related to DALY & CASSINS. I am not sure of the various spellings. Any help much appreciated.

Marion

Further to this, the BRYAN (James?) lived at Upper George st., Durrow in 1834.

    Hi Eamonn,

    Thank you.  The KAFE one is correct, parents Honora BRYAN & Laurence KEEFFE.  KAFE is a new one on me but when I first looked her up in Australia she was indexed as RUFFE. No wonder we can't find people. She had a sister Anne bap 21 Sep 1836. Added was a comment G or YS James (or Jamey)  Margaret migrated in 1855.Her occupation was a nurse I believe she had a relation James BRYAN who may be the James on the GS thingy. Her father perhaps? 

    Regards,

    Marion.
