Find Ancestors

I have traced Michael Keeley born 1841/1842 to his marriage to Katherine Keeley (nee habberley)in 11860 and in the 1871 cencus as head of the family in Whitechapel Lodon.

However I can find no record of Michael Keeley,s family prrior to his marriage in 1860.
There does't appear to be any record in the 1851 or 1861 Cencus. I am trying to establish who his parents were?

Any help would be appreciated

His father's name - if he knew it - will be on his marriage cert.

Where was he born?
Where was the marriage?

Can't see anything for 1871

Age doesn't 'match' because it's wrongly transcribed

He is 9 years - and a schoolboy

The father and mother were both born in Ireland

Her correct second name is Lockwood

1851 transcribed properly.
