Hello Frilly,

Did you not mean your greatgrandmother was born 28/Sep/1865. Auchinleck, Ayr.

Yes Monica, thats the correct family, Michaels, parents Thomas McKeon, and Mary Sharkey, were married 31/Dec/1869. Eaglesham,Renfrewshire.

Regards,
Jonn.

Hello Frilly,

I think you will find Michael, was born 1880. Dumbarton, East Kilpatrick, under the surname McKeon.

As it states on census he was born Bearsden, in one and Garscadden, Dumbarton, in another, and in the 1881. census he is again down as born Garscadden, then in that time period these places came under East Kilpatrick.

Regards,
Jonn.

Frilly, if it will help you if you want to work back on Michael's line, his mother's maiden name is coming up as Shirk(e)y/Sharkey on some of the children's birth registrations on IGI:

1. JOHN MCKEON  Birth: 21 AUG 1870 New Kilpatrick, Dunbarton
2. HUGH MCKEON  Birth: 13 MAR 1872 Hutchesontown, Glasgow
3. ROSANNA MCEWAN Birth: 29 SEP 1873 New Kilpatrick, Dunbarton

I think this is the parents' marriage:

THOMAS MCKEON and MARY SHARKEY    
Marriage: 31 DEC 1869 Eaglesham, Renfrew

Hello Camillo

Just a thought my GreatGrandfather Thomas McKeown Married to Mary Starkey had  a dauighter called Margaret QUILLAN Mckeown,(( as what seems to be the practice inthose days of giving their children a middle name of an ancestorts surname ).......as Thomas was married to Mary QUILLAN it might just be that your Thomas was connected to my Greatgrandfather Thomas Mckeown Line   Frilly

Looking for some details of Thomas Michael "Mick" McKeown who became a Celtic player and a Scotland international.

I know that he died 25 Oct 1903 in Camlachie but he is reputed to have been born in Dalmellington in 1870 yet can find no trace of him.

He is stated to be a Roman Catholic and he married Mary Quillan in 1889 at St Mary's RC Chapel in Carmichael but separated from his wife in 1893.

His parents details are listed as Patrick McKeown, a Miner, and Bridget Calligan (sp) who were both deceased at the time of a poor law claim on 11th September 1903 just before his own death.

He may have been living in Glasgow, in the Calton, as a young child also.

Can't find his birth on Scotlands people.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Frilly, now that you have the date for Thomas and Mary's marriage, it might be worthwhile you checking on their marriage entry on www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk  Confirmation of their parents' names from their marriage entry might provide you with clues as to the naming of their children

Hello Frilly,

This looks a very good possibility for Mary Starkey, born about 1850. born Duntocher, according to several census reports.

1851. census Main Street, Kerrs Property, Duntocher.

Hugh Shirky, Head, M. M. age 24 years, Lab at Coal Works, born Ireland,
Marjory Shirky, Wife, M. F. age 23 years, born Ireland,
John Shirky, Son, M. age 4 years, born Dunbarton, Duntocher,
Mary Jane Shirky, Daugh, F. age 10 mons, born Dunbarton, Duntocher,
John McLaughlan, Lodger, U. M. age 21 years, Lab in Coal Works, born Ireland.

The marriage date for above couple Hugh Starkey, and Marjory Burns, married 13/June/1846. Old Kilpatrick, Dunbarton.

As Monica, stated in previous post if you get the marriage of Thomas McKeon, and Mary Sharkey, this will verify the parents of Thomas, and Mary.

Regards,
Jonn
