    Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

    Likely baptismal records for the children from the subscription site Roots Ireland. They lived in Drumquil townland. Unable to find a marriage record and possibly Margaret's maiden name was McKeon.

  • I looked at the register (which is not in order). I can't seem to locate August 1837. Could you clip/copy the entry in question and post here and I will see if I can read the entry.

  • I can't figure how to do it. It is saved on my phone. It is page 5 of drumlane records 1837-1867 baptisms and marriages..I can make out Johanes, McKeon and drumquill. Maybe it's a different marriage of same family

  • Are there records of Irish emigrating to englane during the famine?...haven't checked this angle yet...closest I have come is a John and Margaret buried in granard

  • That August 27th 1837 record is a baptismal record for John of John and Margaret McKeon. It matches the record I gave you in my first reply last October.

    No records of movement between Ireland and England-- all one country.
