Wicklow / Re: Keogh, Kelly in Glen of Imaal

My grandfather, John Keogh (b. 1880), and grandmother, Anne Kelly (b. 1885) were from the Glen of Imaal in Wicklow.  The townlands I have heard about in the area in which members of the two families lived are Seskin, Stranahely, Coolmoney, Leitrim and Knocknamunnion.  I think these townlands are in the parish of Donaghmore but I think that may be the civil, as distinct from church, parish.  Does anyone know what the relevant Catholic parish or parishes are for those townlands? 

I have a good deal of information on the two families from the 1901 and 1911 censuses.  The Kellys, or some of them,  moved to Kildare before 1911 but I would be interested to know if there are Keoghs still in Glen Imaal.

Hi Dermo. It's possible that your grandmother, Anne Kelly, was a sister of my great grandfather, John Kelly, who I think left the Glen of Imaal as a young man and settled in Kellystown, Ticknock, in South Dublin. Any information you might have would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks a million. It's possible he's there as John. There's been a couple of Johns in the family on his side since his time and though their names were John, they were all known as Jack. I'll look into it some more. Thanks.

Hi. I've recently moved to the Glen of Imaal and today I found out that a great great grandfather of mine is from here. His name was Jack Kelly. Did you ever come across a him in your search, or any other Kelly's? Anything you can tell me would be much appreciated. Thanks.
