John McKeown when in 1898 and remarried in New York in 1906.
My David left New Zealand when he was 21 around 1878.
Would be amazing if there was a connection between my confirmed McKeown's (being James and Sarah and their son David) to your McKeowns.
I do think it looks hopeful that John may be David's brother though.

Hi
Yes I am in New Zealand, I would really appreciate if you could make inquiries.
I am really hoping the family I found in the 1901/1911 census is my James McKeown (who had married Sarah Houston in 1845.) I probably will have to find out who the mother of the two (or three) daughters (Mary A born about 1861 and Nancy and/or Agnes born ab out 1869) in the census's to confirm, or find James death certificate.
I have just found this morning an entry in Family Search website of a John McKeown (b 1858)whose parents were James McKeown and Sarah "Houstim" and John was born in Northern Island but went to New York USA and it's his second marriage that is recorded on that site. (first marriage was when he was 23 and I presume still in Ireland)

Thanks for your reply. Maybe some of this information may ring a bell with your aunt McKeown and your father? I have been searching for so long so hope you don't mind me grasping straws :-)
This is the information I have regarding my McKeowns:
From the marriage certificate:
James McKEOWN (McKEON) born about 1823 married Sarah
HOUSTON in Ballyeaston (Parish of Ballycor and Rashee) 9 September 1845 in
the Church of United Church of England and Ireland by licence, on the
marriage entry Jas McKEON, Labourer (father of James) and
Thomas HOUSTON, farmer, (father of Sarah), witnesses George BEGGS and
Elizabeth BEGGS (or BIGGS),
D.C. COURTENAY was the Perpetual Curate.
Their son David McKEOWN born about 1857 in Ballyclare (according to his New
Zealand marriage certificate which also provided his parents names) , he
travelled to New Zealand from Belfast to New Zealand on the ship Conflict in
1857, his name was bracketed with with a George GRAY (David at this time was
21 and George was 14) we are descended from David.
I feel the following family is connected as well (James could be a sibling
of David's):
James McKEOWN b.1846 (wife Mary McVEIGH/McVAY b.
1850) who married in 1869 in Belfast who had Huston McKEOWN born 7 Jan 1871
in Ballynure,David McKEOWN b. 1872 and Samuel McKEOWN born 25 Jul 1874
Ballynure.
I also found in the 1901 /1911 census this information about a family of McKeowns (I wonder if the James - head of household could by my James who married Sarah from my line) - James McKeown b about 1828, head of the family, Presbyterian, in Tullynahinnion with his two daughters - Mary and Nancy, and a grandson David born about 1897.

I am interested to see there is a McKeown connection in your Kyle family - I am researching James McKeown/McKeon (father was James McKeon, farmer) who married Sarah Houston in Ballyeaston in 1845 in the Church of Ireland, they had a son David McKeown around 1857 in Ballyclare (he subsequently came out to NZ). I have found a family of McKeown's in the 1901/1911 Tullynahinnion census which could fit. Does anyone have any information of any of the above McKeowns.
Any help/advice greatly appreciated.
