What were you ancestors names , my grandparents owned the dairy on Beaver Row their name was Keogh

My beaver row family are going back to the 1850's or so but I think a daughter of theirs stayed in the home until after the 1911 census. The fathers name was Bryan Maguire and my ggg grand mother was his daughter Catherine. Her sister Elizabeth stayed in beaver row for her whole life (I think)!!

Elizabeth Maguire has a Julia keogh (niece) living with her in 1901/1911 on beaver row.

Hi everyone

I'm tracing Keoghs in Beaver Row too.  There seem to be two families of Keoghs and I can't work out exactly how they're related.  Both families lived at 7 Beaver Row, so I can't imagine they were completely unrelated.  Which Keoghs had the farm?

My line are from Michael Keogh who married Catherine McDonnell.  Michael's address at marriage was 7 Beaver Row, which is also where their children Ellen, Joseph, Mary (who died young) and John were baptised from.  The youngest was born in 1889.  Michael must have died sometime between 1889 and 1901, as by the 1901 census Catherine was down as a widow and the family had moved out and she was working as a housekeeper.  Michael and Catherine were both born in Wicklow, Michael was a gardener for the church in Donnybrook and his father was called Joseph.

The other Keogh family were Laurence Keogh, who married Mary McGuire in 1870.  Their children Julia, Mary, Bernard, Elizabeth and Thomas were all born at Beaver Row, and the family were still there in 1901 and 1911.  Laurence's father was called Thomas.

So, my question after all that was how are the two Keoghs, Laurence and Michael, related?  If anyone has any info about all this, please let me know!

My grandfather Daniel Dunne lived in number 7 with Dunnes and Keoghs. He went on to open a pub in Donnybrook, and some Keoghs came to work for him there, so that may be a connection!
