I believe this Edward Okeeffe b 1841 Labacally Fermoy Cork as in NLI may be the same who m Mary Regan b 1843 townland not yet identified 2 daughters Mary age 10 and Elizabeth age8// in the Wales Census 1871 b in Cork townlands unknown 4 further children b in Merthyr Tydfil Wales ;this family all came to NZ 1875 .Very little is known about Edward and Marys Cork family links .Marys Death cert in NZ 1896 father was William Regan a farmer mother Mary Morrison . Edward Okeeffe no death record for him in NZ NZBMD this has been collaborated with that site , last entries NZ Elect Rolls 1900 it is possible he went back to Ireland or Wales about that time he would have been 61yrs not to old to go back home after the death of his wife and 3 family members 2 daughters and a son .1896 1898 1888 1884,The family had Spanish blood in them shows through on many family of daughter Margaret Okeeffe b 1871 in NZ.yes it was spoken about but no one recorded it in NZ from what side OKeeffe or Regan . I hope some can shed some light on this family and a marriage date .

In 1871 the surname is KEEFFE. There is this marriage on 17 Nov 1858, Conna, Cloyne, Cork.

Edward Keeffe b. c. 1841 Labacally - This place is located 2 kilometers SE of Glanworth Co Cork . The marriage posted by Dundee in Conna in 1858 looks promising apart from the fact if the birth details you give are correct Edward would only be 17 & Mary 15? I cannot see Edward on 1901 Census in Wales or Ireland

Edward OKeeffe Mary Regan and 2 daughters all b in Cork 4 more so the birth years would be 1841 1842 -3 4 children b in Merthyr Tydfil as in the Wales census , Edward age 30 yrs Mary age 28 no they are not in any more census in England to NZ 1875 to Auckland on the ship Forfarshire .The O in Irish familys at that time was dropped of by the British to anglicise the Irish this now causes confusion about the spelling .
The Conna Cloyne Cork looks promising . The Regans many of them .
Thanks so much for this info .
