Keogh, Kelly in Glen of Imaal

[Brino]

Hi, The ruin was in Seskine near Coolmoney by all accounts. I'd say if you asked the older folk in the saw mill in Coolmoney they would tell you where exactly it was. The keoghs of the Glen of Imaal are a well know family there so the old home stead would be well known Id say. Fentons Pub might be a land mark. I asked my mom and she didn't know anything past her grandparents or the Michael Dwyer connection but Stranahely and knochnamunnion rang a bell for her as places mentioned in conversation of years back.
Best of luck with the search. B

Thanks for that.  I'll let you know in due course if I uncover anything.  D

Hi     The Keogh family are well known in the glen. Bill Keogh ( Big Bill ) died only a month ago. His son, I believe, has now taken over the sawmills and the Glen Lounge pub. Fenton's pub is still here and still called Fenton's by the locals, but it is actually owned by Harry Murphy. Don Fenton the original owner still lives in the glen.

Hope some of this is of help.

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.

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.
