My maternal grandfather was Albert Keoghoe b1889 in Bethnal Green. I had always understood he was Irish and born in Dublin. This was why no research had been done on him. My grandmother was Alice Maud Gladden b1893.

Since I have been on here with the Mackleworth threads, I found my grandfather easily enough. But I can't get back far enough to see if he was Irish in descent or not.

Can you tell me if there is an Irish connection or have I been fed blarney? :-D

Ancestry has this extremely mangled transcription for 1851, but to be fair, the image is so faint I don't know how they got anything out of it!

Can anyone find a marriage for Albert's parents John and Sarah?

John is still single in 1881, living with mother Caroline:

Census 1881:

Address: 27, St Judes Street, Bethnal Green County: London, Middlesex

KEOGHE, Caroline Head Wife Married F 40 1841
KEOGHE, John Son Single M 22 1859 Cabinet Maker
KEOGHE, William Son Single M 20 1861 Engineer (Artz)

EDIT: The image shows father John, cabinet maker, is with the family but has been missed off the transcription

I can find what looks like a second marriage for John junior in 1916, but not the first one to Sarah.

Name: John Keoghoe - widower cabinet maker
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1860
Age: 56
Spouse Name: Alice Johnson- widow
Spouse Age: 42

Parish: Shoreditch St Leonard

Father Name: John Keoghoe - deceased cabinet maker
Spouse Father Name: George Davis- deceased table maker

EDIT: This looks like the death of first wife Sarah. Accorong to census 1891 posted earlier, she was born c1861:

Deaths Mar 1909 KEOGHOE Sarah 47 Bethnal G. 1c 148

I still can't find her marriage to John though.

Deaths of John senior and Caroline?

Albert's marriage: it looks like Gladden on the image

Name: Alice Maud Slodden

[Alice Maud Gladden]
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1893
Age: 22
Spouse Name: Albert Keoghoe - fitter?
Spouse Age: 26
Record Type: Marriage

Father Name: William Slodden-boot laster
Spouse Father Name: John Keoghoe- cabinet maker

Witnesses Catherine Gladden A Gladden

This is brilliant, Kucinta. The name is definitely Gladden. I never knew my grandad was a fitter. He was variously, a docker, a bare knuckle fighter, a worker in a small steel factory, a bookmaker.

I have found this marriage record, but it seems to be out of area. Does have father named John:

England & Wales Marriages, 1538-1940

Name: John Keoghoe
Gender: Male
Father's Name: John Keoghoe
Spouse's Name: Sarah Ann Ford
Spouse's Father's Name: James Ford
Marriage Date: 9 Jul 1882
Marriage Place: Walthamstow, Essex, England

Hmmmmmmm!

Seems John was with Alice and her children a while before he got round to marrying her in 1916 as posted earlier:

Address: 11 Falkirk St Hoxton County: London

KEOGHOE, John Head Married M 50 1861 Cabinet Maker London Bethnal GN
KEOGHOE, Alice Wife Married 2 years F 37 1874 London Bethnal GN
JOHNSON, James Son Single M 16 1895 Chair And Couch Maker London Bethnal GN
JOHNSON, Samuel Son M 14 1897 Wood Carver Carver London Bethnal GN
JOHNSON, Caroline Daughter F 9 1902 School London Bethnal GN
JOHNSON, Emily Daughter F 7 1904 School London Bethnal GN
JOHNSON, Jessie Daughter F 2 1909 London Bethnal GN
KEOGHOE, John Son M 3 1908 London Shoreditch

EDIT: On image son John looks like 3 months, not 3 years.


John with Sarah in 1901:

Address: 35, Punderson Gardens, Bethnal Green
County: London

KEOGHOE, John Head Married M 41 1860 Cabinet Maker
Bethnal Green, London
KEOGHOE, Sarah Wife Married F 39 1862 Dalston, London
KEOGHOE, Emily Daughter Single F 16 1885 Artificial Flower MakerBethnal Green, London
KEOGHOE, Albert Son Single M 12 1889 Bethnal Green, London
KEOGHOE, Alice Daughter Single F 2 1899 Bethnal Green, London

This looks like the baptism of Alice aged 2 in census 1901. In which case the Sarah Ann Ford marriage might well be correct.

Found on another board. The dates of coming over are too early for your William and Maria, but it seemed rather a co-incidence.

Early in the 1800s, between 1815 and 1820, William Keoghoe brought his wife, Maria Brouard from Guernsey to Bethnal Green. They started a line of the name Keoghoe that survive today (but only a few). Note the spelling. The name is Irish and the name is associated with County Wicklow and possibly the Fitzjohn estates.

Here's the question. Does anybody know a Keoghoe? Where would I find information and in which parish records about the several children they had? Here's the biggest question of all. Why would William Keoghoe bring a bride to Bethnal Green if what I have read is true: not a very nice place to live at that time. After all, St Peter's Port, Guernsey had a growing economy in shipping."

A tree on Ancestry has this on the record of William and Maria's daughter Jane Ellen Keoghoe, but no documentation. presumably she is 6 yr old 'jane Rogers' on census 1851 previously posted.
