So, if he died on Dec 8, 1879 his death certificate was probably not REGISTERED until January 1880.  That's probably why it was listed on the 1880 census count for deceased people.

As mentioned on the site I linked to in my post, the 1880 Census mortality schedule asks for the names of people who died between 1 Jun. 1879 and 31 May 1880.  When the death was registered wouldn't have any impact here.

Thanks, it looks like Jan 1880 is the right date.

Maryn, I'm not sure who his wife is. It thought it might be a Mary McCronk or McCrink because of the two children's births I found.

I can see I made a mistake - it was Margaret's death I found in 1880, not Mary's so she could still be alive in later censuses.

Is there a Mary Keating with children Adelaide  b1877 and Catherine Anna b1879 in the next (1890?) census?
