I am trying to find anything to do with a Joseph Keefe who lived in Gillingham Kent married to Mary Ann Williams from Sheerness Kewnt in 1878. He was born in Gibraltar 1838/1842 and was a Royal Marine/Royal navy. They had five children, elizabeth, ruth, mary ann, william and daisy. Hope to hear from someone who can tell us if he had any brother or sisters or who his parents were. Also what happened to his children/ |

This is Joseph's marriage registration - the certificate would give you his father's name: |

Here he is in 1901, living with married daughter Ruth, her husband (a buglar in the Royal Marines) and daughter Daisy. He shown as married, but no sign of Mary Ann: |

Here he is in 1861 (haven't copied all the other crew members)/ Knowing which ship he sailed on might help you find his records at the National Archives: |

Disproved this - found the brothers living with parents in Scotland in 1891 - father is John but at least you can discount this. |
