I am doing this research for a friend and he has only just sent me the baptismal certificate of James Henry Keys. He was 18 months old when he was baptised at St Paul's Catholic Church Falls road Belfast on 23.06.1889.
This gives him a DOB in late 1887-early 1888. His father is given as George Keys and his mother Margaret Daly.
Given that the baptism was 18 months after his birth could have been anywhere in Ireland.
Can anyone see a marriage for George Keys and Margaret Daly and give me any info on their family.
Apologies to those above who worked on insufficient information.
Maybe I should have started a new thread.
Thanks in anticipation, Richard

Thank you so much Tiggit. You're persistent I have to say. My friend is cock-a-hoop with the marriage certificate.
