I'm trying to trace 2 families in Newtownards in the census. Firstly, the Keenan family. Arthur Keenan was a blacksmith in Greenwall Str in 1882 with a 22 yr old son. This means I guess he was born between 1845 and 1860 and if he was still alive would still be a smith in 1901. Samuel McKei was a labourer in 1882 living in Frederick Street with a 21 year old daughter. So I guess he was also born between 1845 and 1860. Thanks

Hello John:
I am also researching my Keenan;s from the Ards penninsula of Co.Down. My gg grandfather John Keenan was baptized in Kircubbin, Co.Down in 1835. He immigrated to the Dearham, Cumberland, ENG area about 1845 with his parents; Felix and Sarah (McQuoid) Keenan;b 1814/1809;IRL.
Drop a line if you see any connection, my tree is listed on this site.
Best regards from Western NY
