You have 1987, I take it should be 1957?

Do you have any more details of Varie Keane - place and date of birth/death?  It is an odd name - could it be Valerie?

Could you confirm/answer the following:

1 - Was the surname definitely spelled "Keane". Or, could it have been something like Keen/Kene/Cain etc

2 - Was "Varie Keane" definitely a man? Or, did Agnes stay unmarried and leave Glasgow because Varie was not a man?

3 - Where did Agnes and Varie meet? In the UK or in SA or ...?

Somewhere I have lost the plot  ???

Who is Agnes? I assumed Varie was female going on the initial post.  Is there another post on this which makes things clearer?

Thanks.

A correction to the previous posts - G.V. Keane went to Cape Town on the ship's list, not to Beira.

There seems to have been a George Victor KEANE b 1907 who married a Charlotte Linny VAN DER MERWE in SA in 1945 ... (I don't have any other info)
I suppose this fact might rule out GV KEANE b 1907 from being a candidate for "Varie", so I'll wait until the OP answers my earlier questions ....

Am I correct in thinking we are looking for a Varie (sp) Keane, and not any of the other Keane's per se?

Hi all,
Its Varie Keane i am looking for though this is possibly a family name.
He did not marry in SA but died there somewere between 1980 and 1997 ish.
I thought George Victor keane may have been him but not if he married in SA.
My only means of finding him would be a death notice so looking for a Mr.Keane
death between 1980 and 1997 in SA.
Apologies for the lack of info could be one for Miss Marple here.
