Hi All,
I am interested in learning more of the family of Patrick Keogan and Margaret Keogan nee Sheridan, farmers of County Cavan around 1800. My GG Grandfather, James Keogan (about 1826 to 1907) immigrated from Ireland to Australia around 1856 and the details above were given on his marriage and death certificates. I do not know, and would like to know, if James had any siblings and what happened to their families.
One piece of information I have that may help identify the correct family is that James Keogan was the maternal nephew of the Sneyd family of County Cavan Ireland, Denis Sneyde and Elizabeth Sneyde nee Sheridan. The Sneyde's sons Denis and Frank, James Keogan's cousins, also immigrated to Australia.
The Australian Keogan family changed the spelling to Cogan for reasons unknown in the 1870's.
Appreciative of any response.
Thanks for reading this
