Thomas Keogh of Glasgow, d1907.....

Post by Hawkeye » Mon Apr 17, 2006 8:31 pm

Hi everyone,
I am looking for any surviving descendants of Thomas Keogh.
Thomas was born about 1882 in Westmeath, Ireland.
He came to Glasgow at some point, (probably between 1900 and 1905) married Sarah Byrne in 1905 then went and died just two years later, in 1907.
I heard a rumour that they had two children, Thomas and Margaret, but I can't confirm this as the birth records on Scotlands People only go up to 1905 - typical!
I have a lot of family tree info for anyone who is related to Thomas.
Here's hoping!
Lisa Hawkins.

Hi Lisa

Wish I had great news but alas no. Tried to be tricky and look for a possible KEOGH marriage to pick up any offspring of Sarah and Thomas and nothing found yet. :( Not sure if you know but Sarah did remain in Glasgow and remarried in 1914. I looked for her death hoping to pick up an interesting informant but nope...nothing that way either. :( I think the final step for you would be to either visit NRH or ParkCircus and have a search in the newer than available online Births. If you're not handy to Scotland....well.....you might find a willing volunteer....or if all else fails....that's what they invented paid researchers for!! :D Since you have a very narrow window of 1906 to possible 1908 (not sure what time of year Thomas died) GROS might carry out a search for you but not sure of the cost of that.

Sorry for nothing more exciting than that!

Best wishes
Jean
