O'Keefe Family from Crusheen

Wendy:

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

I will alert our parish liaison for Crusheen about your message.

Let me know if you have not heard back in ten days or so.

Roger McDonnell

Thank your Roger.

Hope to navigate this site and place more family members online.

Hi R J Smith

Yes, we are aware of the O'Keefe Brewing Company in Canada. Our daughter visited it in 1996. Haven't found a connection yet but always looking.

I'm looking for a Mary Keeffe who marieed John Hynchy in the 1830's and gave birth to my 2xs great grand mother, Hannah.  I can't find anything on her except for the birth record.  They were living in Derrycalliff near Ballinruan.  At that time,  the area was part of Clooney.  Any thoughts would be helpful!   Thanks...Chris Cusack

Hi Wendy,

Did you find out anything about John O'Keefe and his parents? I think my ancestor was his sister Bridget.

According to her marriage certificate her parents were John O'Keefe and Bridget McNamara.  

Bridget O'Keefe was also born around 1845 (maybe they were twins). She married Daniel Sheehan in Ballarat, Victoria, Australia on 29 June 1866. She died in 1906 in Warragul, Victoria, Australia. 

If you have found any info about their parents I would love to know.

Opps I mean Thomas O'Keefe and his parents. 

Hi Monica

I would love to swap information with you on the O'Keefe family. Your post is the closest I have come across in connection with the O'Keefe's in Australia.

You can contact me directly at okeefesons1@bigpond.com to discuss this further.

Look forward to hearing from you.

Hi Monica.  Do you have any further info on this family you mentioned.  Any siblings stay in the Ballarat area.  Regards  Maurice, Bungaree
