Thank you Sandra.
I have tried all in my power and very kind folk on here have helped me but cannot go further.
I know where they lived in Lusmagh, the land they farmed but no gravestones and no way of finding where they came from before 1829 when my great grandfather, Thomas Keough/ Keogh was baptised in Lusmagh. His father also Thomas but no mother,s name on register.
He has a sister Mary born 1820 who wed John Mc Neill.
And a brother Patrick who married Brigid ? and they had a son Peter. Also baptised Lusmagh .
Old Thomas and Thomas jun are both on Griffifths farming land owned by Sir Robert Blosse Lynch.
I know the actual fields they worked and in 1901 were living in Newtown next to the Larkins.
There were other Keoghs in Lusmagh from 1829 to the 1900.s Some died ,some must have emigrated.
I have gone through Lusmagh parish registers many times but they are hard to read.
Reynagh and Gallen registers also proved unfruitful. As did Killaloe
I,ve tried various parishes in Tipperary and Clare where Keoghs lived but cannot find a Thomas Keough born about 1780 c whose father may have been Patrick and who farmed..
There is/ was a Keogh,s Hill in Lusmagh but I can find no further info on why it was so called.
Early census yield nothing.
Census of 1901 show t he family still there apart from those who had emigrated and by 1911 only Lizzie was left in Ireland....found her on dog licence list.
I have been searching a long time.
Maybe time now to give up.
Happy New year to all.
