Classification: Query
Surnames: KEADY, KENNY
John( 1811-1884) and Honora Keady (nee Kenny) arrived at Port Phillip on the Frances in Nov 1841, with 4 children, Thomas, Patrick, John and Maria. John's parents were Thomas Keady and Catherine Lally.
Two brothers, Thomas Keady (1829-1913) and Patrick Keady (1829-1907) arrived in the 1850s and purchased land near the above family. Their parents were John Keady and Elizabeth Nolan.
Daniel Keady (1835-1928) arrives some time before 1863, purchases land near the above family groups and fosters one of John and Honora's grandchildren.
John, Honora, Thomas and Patrick are all buried in a line at Nagambie, Victoria. Daniel is in adjacent town, Death certificates and headstones note Co Roscommon as origin.
Any advice on their origins in Ireland, or relationship between families would be appreciated.
