Hi - I have a Patrick Kenehan whose RIC number was 34292. He joined the force on Apr. 9, 1868 and was 21 years of age at the time he joined. He retired from the force in 1898. He was from Galway West and it looks like he was married 3 times. His first wife was from King's County and they were married on Sept. 8, 1876. At the time of this marriage he was stationed in Co. Carlow. His second wife whom I am related to directly was Margaret Ann Carty who was born in Kilkishen, Co. Clare, around Sept. 2, 1854. Her sponsors were Edward Gavan and Bridget Gavan. I believe this Bridget Gavan maiden name might be Carty. Margaret married Patrick Birmingham (RIC) Jan. 22, 1879. Her witnesses to her marriage were Patrick Carty II and a Rosanna Maria Hanley. They had one son John Henry Birmingham who was baptised Jan. 6. 1880. Patrick Birmingham died Jan. 18, 1882. Eleven months later, Margaret married Patrick Keenahan on Dec. 26, 1883. At the time, Patrick was a constable in the town of Kilkishen, Co. Clare. Patrick and Margaret had 4 kids together. Thomas Keenahan was baptised Sept. 26, 1884; Michael Keenahan was baptised January 20, 1886; Evangeline Keenahan was baptised January 14, 1887 and Maria Keenahan was baptised December 29, 1887. All these children were baptised in Kilfenora, Co. Clare. Margaret Carty died around May, 1890. Finally Patrick Keenahan had remarried in Roscommon on June 29, 1891 in County Roscommon. As of 1883-1897, we know that Patrick Keenahan had owned a home near 1 Fort Eyre, Co. Galway. I am not sure if he had children with his first wife and his third wife. My speculation is he probably did. I do not know of any other offspring except for Margaret Carty's. Patrick was not a lessor of his home, he actually was the owner. My gr-grandfather Patrick Carty II (RIC) and gr-gr- grandfather John Hogan (RIC) lived very close to Patrick Keenahan. If any of these people sound familiar to you, I have tons more information. Thanks -Pat
