In 1881 John Keleher, 56,(transcribed as Kelcher) is living with his wife and five children in Kirkdale,Lancs.They were all born in County Cork.He is a Dock labourer,as are his two sons David and Edward.
In 1891 John is living with his wife and one daughter.He is now a Naval Pensioner,so at some time he must have gone to sea.How would he have qualified for this pension and will I be able to find any records relating to it?
Also in 1891 the only David I can find is now an Assurance Agent in Earlstown.How likely is this?He has a wife,Kate and a one year old daughter also Kate.I have not found the marriage or birth,nor can I find them on any other census.I did spot a death for a David Kelleher aged 84 in 1947 liverpool.
Edward is missing in 1891,but turns up again in 1901 and is a sailor and unmarried.He then disappears.
All ideas welcome.
Thank you in advance.
