Title: McKeever/shanlongford/coleraine
Post by: Cjmck2608 on Tuesday 07 March 17 17:08 GMT (UK)

Hi, over the last few years I have tried to find out more information on my grandfather & his family but haven't been too successful but here I am again with fingers crossed someone out there can help me.  My grandfather was David Frances Mckeever from shanlongford ringsend coleraine.  I have found him on census 1901 & 1911, which was a great find as we had very little info on his parents - David & Ellen (nee Kelly) which both died when he was very young, we now also know he had brothers & sisters.  I found a little info on them but not a lot!  Can anyone help with what school they might of addended in this area & of possible farm names in Shanlongford?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Kind regards :)
