McKEEVER & KANE- Ireland to Scotland to Philadelphia relatives

[sparkley]

My Great great Grandparents James McKEEVER and Hannah Jane KANE born & married in Ireland, moved to Scotland and had family one being a son John McKEEVER (1854-1912) and another a daughter Hannah McKEEVER 1861-1906 both died in Philadelphia. There were more children but not ones that moved to USA.
My dad always told me that his uncle John went there to be a university lecturer and could rhyme off the address of the university but he is no longer here to ask😒
If there are any relatives past or present who can enlighten me in any way about John or Hannah and their families I would be very grateful for any information.
Thank you
Pauline
