Keogh and Toomy family in Ballymore Eustace, County Wicklow
« on: Friday 24 January 25 05:08 GMT (UK) »
My ggrandfather was Darby Keogh born about 1810 and married to Ann Toomy. They had 8 children, including my great grandmother Catherine baptised 1836. She and her brother John came to Australia in 1862 on the ship Northumberland and had their deposit paid by their brother Patrick. I know Patrick was in the Irish constabulary before he migrated.
I would be grateful for any information on the Keogh or Toomy families of Ballymore Eustace.

The village of Ballymore Eustace is actually in Co. Kildare.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballymore_Eustace
The Catholic parish of Ballymore Eustace lies in both counties Kildare and Wicklow - close to half and half.

So, which Ballymore Eustace? Do you really know they were from the Wicklow portion, as opposed to Kildare?
Are we to presume they were Catholic - you don't mention religion?

my great grandmother Catherine baptised 1836.

I don't see this - can you be more specific as to location and dates? Maybe reference the parish record page?

Darby was a common anglicization for the Irish name Dermot or Dermott,  Diarmaid, etc

Looking with Kildare records online,  I only see one child of Darby Keough and Anne Tuomy in the parish of Ballymore Eustace.
Mathew, baptized 1/11/1846.
https://registers.nli.ie/registers/vtls000633344#page/23/mode/1up

There are at least 6 subsequent children with father Darby Keough, 1847-1858, but with mother Jane Fagan.

Thanks for the reply. Yes the marriage in 1829 is my Darby and Ann and they were Catholic. I didn't realise that Ballymore Eustace was in both counties but that would explain some quirks I have found on Ancestry and Family Search.  It would seem that their first child was Patrick 1831, Margaret 1832,Darby 1834, Catherine 1836, Bridget 1838, Maria 1839, John 1840 and Matthew 1846. I found all these in the nli registers.
Just not sure where Darby lived or where the Toomy family came from.
