Hi Elaine,
There were lots of Keane'sView full record - Memorials of the Dead Galway & Mayo


Name

First name Stephen
Last name Keane


Memorial details

Church/Graveyard SPIDDAL
Description of Church/Graveyard This graveyard is the biggest in western County Galway and in the words of Walter Fitzgerald is ‘thickly covered with large limestone slabs’. The majority of memorials lie flat and while erosion was a problem most memorials were fairly easily read. The number of people who died aged 60 years is slightly suspicious. The graveyard contains an unique Mortuary Chapel that is blocked up. It has a plaque that states: “This chapel was built in 1776 at the expense of Stephen Martin Gentleman”, further details below. Walter Fitzgerald published three memorials in J.P.M.D., 1898, vol. 4, pp.59-60. The current church was built in the early 1900s and has no pre 20th century memorials. There are two new graveyards to the east and west of the village.

Oh, that's brilliant. Thank you.

Please would you look for anyone of the surname McCusker, and of Seavers, Nea McGratten, and for any Nesbitts after 1800.
