I refer to the two messages which you left on this thread on 31/May/2007.

Yes I do indeed know a Peter O'Leary of about that age living in U.K. He's a distant cousin of mine. I had thought that he was an only child.
I need to know that we're talking about the same person. What else do you know about your P.O'L's back ground?

Where are your Keohanes from? There's the notable case of Pat Keohane near Glengarriff, West Cork (1870-1972). He lived to be a hundred and two and a half, and was my maternal grandfather's second cousin. Pat had over fifty granchildren - my fourth cousins. They have Lynch family connections. Could this be your line?
There were also other Keohanes from in Bantry, one of whom was married to one of the O'Sullivan(Tim)s of DerrinCorrin near Adrigole - my third cousins? Could they be your line?

In response to others who've previously posted messages on this thread.
I'm descended from O'Mahon(e)ys from Dunbeacon, Co.Cork.
Also, I know there to be several Cronin families in Borlin, West Cork.
Could there be connections? I hope this helps.

More info required all round.
Regards Michael O'Shea, London.

I refer to your reply message of 7/June/2007.
Both Dunbeacon and Borlin are in West Cork, not far from Bantry Bay.
Dunbeacon is about five or six miles from Bantry, not far from Kilcrohane. My ggm Margaret Shanahan (1824-1909) came from there. Her father was John Shanahan and her mother was Jane O'Mahon(e)y. Also I know there to be O'Mahon(e)ys in Kilcrohane.
I'm not sure where Borlin is exactly, but I believe it to be somewhht closer to the border with Co.Kerry.
Both places should be on detailed maps, online or otherwise, of the area.
Regards. Michael O'Shea
