My gran Mary Keane gave birth to my dad John in Glasgow 1920. He grew up never knowing her. He was told by the family who brought him up ( not related ) that Mary went to Austrialia and would send for him.He lived his life thinking his mum did'nt care for him. A few years ago ( after my dad had passed away ) I managed to obtain copys of the poor relief forms for Mary & my dad. It showed she was born in Boston,Massachusetts in 1901 her brother John 1899. Her dad Dudley Keane met and married Annie Morgan in Boston in 1898. In 1902 Dudley died, followed by Annie in 1904 then Annie's mother Bridget O'Malley in 1905.I found out that Mary & John were taken to Ireland by an uncle John Morgan and in the 1911 Connemara census it shows Mary now 10 & John 11. They were living with the toole family. My dads birth certificate shows Mary's address before comming to Glasgow as,Cleggan Co-Galway, she was a farm servant. I have since found the birth,marriage & death certificates for Mary's parents, maternal & paternal grand parents and grt, grand parents. I also know that she was still in Glasgow when my dad was 6 yrs old. But i have exhusted every other avenue trying to find my grandmother Mary Keane. Where did she go ? I dont think she stayed in Glasgow. She may have went back to Ireland but something makes me think, she went to Boston, Other family names are :- Kane ,Kean, Nee,O'Malley,Burke,Toole,Morgan,Coneleey and the Glasgow family who brought him up with Love. the Evers family. If only someone could point me in the right direction. Just to put some flowers on her grave would be lovely. Maybe there's family, I would love to share how wonderful a man my dad was. |
