Keppel family in Newmarket/Meelin 1850s

[Kiskeam]

Hi Tina

I was very pleased your discovery of the posting I made over five years ago.
Since I posted it in May 2005 I have made considerable progress in accumulating information about the family of my paternal grand parents.

As there is much information I have available which maybe of assistance to you with your quest I suggest we make contact through the personal message (PM) link and then by telephone as we are both living in New Zealand.

I have sent you a PM to establish the direct link between us.

Once again many thanks for making the initial contact via this excellent Forum for researching ancestors.

Regards

Kiskeam

Hi Keppel families,
I have a reference to my x4 grandfather John Conolly in which I'm told he married Eliza Collins in March 1817 in England. Eliza was the d/o the then recently deceased Sir John Collins who was himself (so it reads) the illegitimate son of the second Earl of Albemarle. I'm struggling to validate this last connection, did the second Earl really have an illegitimate son as well as the 15 children he had with Anne Lennox? And if so is there some way I can have a degree of certainty that this particular Sir John Collins was one of them?

my first post here, fingers across.

 Hi Brett.

Welcome to RootsChat and best wishes with your research.

Sorry I am unable to assist you with your quest as to date my research over the past decade has not discovered a link between the family you are researching and my family.

My research takes me back to c1800 in County Cork.  The earliest confirmed record for my family dates from the Baptismal record in December 1835 of the oldest known sibling of my great grand father Maurice.

I have not discovered any earlier records for the family. Therefore I do not know if there is a link with the descendants of Arnold Joost van Keppel, 1st Earl of Albemarle.

You may have some success with your quest by posting your message on the forum for England.

Best wishes with your research.

Kiskeam.
