Wexford / Re: WALSH/KEEGAN.... CROSSABEG area.

Hi Brian - thanks for that. It is information that I have though. It was information prior to their coming to NZ that I was after (and yes I live in NZ). There have been a couple of books written on the family, one by Mercia Turner in 2010 and I have included a lot about the family in Wanganui in my own book which I published in 2017. If you are living in NZ I would like to make contact and find out where you fit into the family. my email is (*)
 - regards Peter

Hi Brian, Thanks for replying to my post of quite some time ago. My Great-Grandparents Pat & Ann Keegan left Ireland with 7 seven children, the remaining two, including my grandfather, were born in New Zealand, so they may not be the Keegans that you have mentioned..... however I would appreciate the information that you have as there always remains the possibility and I have struggled to get any concrete information out of Ireland. Most of what I have is what has been handed down to the descendants of Pat & Ann and is more anecdotal. Looking forward to hearing from you again.
Regards - Peter Keegan

Thanks for that little piece of information. The family at the time were living in Kilmuckridge which is just down the road from Litter Beg (I assume from Google Maps that is what you referred to as Litter) My great uncle William was born in 1969 and I guess it is his birth record. One of the difficulties with finding information in Ireland from a distance is knowing where to find them as so many historical records have been destroyed in fires etc. So thank your for that. Regards PeterK

Hi Anne,

My great grandparents family had been moving north in Wexford, as I said some of the children were born in Kilmuckridge, further south, and My great grandmother worked at what has been described as Wexford Castle, presumably around the town of Wexford. So there may still be a link. I wonder where the Sinnotts originated from?

With regard Michael Keegan who served with Custer, try this link. He may be the relative you are looking for. http://www.encyclopedia.com/doc/1P3-54855001.html Michael Keegan was the only of Custers men who survived Little Big Horn as he was apparently looking after the horses on the other side of the hill - follow the link and read more. You will also get a lot of hits by entering Michael Keegan Custer

Hi Anne,

I have been trying to find family of my great grandparents who migrated to New Zealand in 1875. They were Patrick and Ann(n. Sinnott) Keegan. It often happened that several members of one family married members of another family, siblings married siblings. I wonder if there is a possibility that we have a common ancestor and would be interested in any feedback. My great grandparents had children who were baptised in Kilmuckridge and Gorey and also lived in Courtdown Harbour before embarking for New Zealand. Patrick Keegan was born in 1837 and Anne Sinnott in 1839. Both died in NZ. Patrick had a sister Ellen who married John Connor and migrated to NZ earlier than 1875.

Regards - Peter
