After a lot of research I have found that some of my family comes from Easky Sligo in Ireland. I would love to know if there are any relations out there. The relatives in question are Robert Benjamin Courtis and his parents Rebecca Keeble and Richard Courtis. I am interested to know how they came to reside in Devon from Ireland.

Hi Guys.
I was wondering if anyone can please help me. I am trying to trace the Courtis/Curtis/Keeble family in Easky Sligo Ireland. I have managed to trace Rebecca Keeble's father George Keeble but cannot find her mother and I am unable to find Richard Courtis's parents. I would love to trace dates of birth for Rebecca and Richard. If there is anyone that could help then I would greatly appreciate it.

Ps, Rebecca and Richard married in 1858 so I'm guessing they would have been born around 1830's maybe ???
