Another pair of eyes please to ascertain if there is any more info available out there to break down a couple of brick walls.
The info required concerns my 2nd G Grandfather & Mother
Thomas Keating & Catherine Keating (nee O’Keefe)
The info I have at the moment is:
Catherine gave birth to
Clara Keating Q1 1885 in Oldham (ref 8d 669)
Annie Keating 01/03/1886 @23 Lordshill St Oldham, Father Thomas Keating. I have the Cert. (my GGM)
Catherine Died Q4 1887 (ref 8d 437) age 25 in Oldham
What I can’t find is any record of their marriage, nor can I find any definite record of her birth, there is baptism record for a Catharina O’Keefe born 02/07/1860 and baptised 15/07/1860 @ Holy Cross Liverpool F Joannes O’Keefe M Elizabeth Holland. Nor can I find her on 1861, 71 or 81 census.
Likewise I can’t find anything for Thomas prior to 1901 when I find a Thomas Keating (a widower) as a boarder in Liverpool Ref RG13 P3423 F 161 Page 32 gives his age 42 born in Liverpool. He was still alive in 1908 according to Annie’s marriage cert and he was a railway operative. There is a death of a Thomas Keating in Warrington in Q3 1909, this might be him as I can’t find him in 1911.
Clara and Annie are a mystery in 1891 as I can’t find them at all on the census, I’ve got them from 1901 onward and their subsequent marriages.
So any help on Thomas and Catherine would be appreciated
