She states she is spinster. She does not identify her employment….but her residence is 21 Grafton St, Bond St, St George Hanover Square. I make a confident assumption that she is employed “in service” in this very upscale neighborhood. James Keane is living in Park Lane and employed as a butler. On MC, James gives his age as 28yr. James is RC and was born in Ireland. James is the older brother of my direct ancestor, Elizabeth Keane. In a later census, Elizabeth gives her birthplace as Gorey, Co Wexford, Ireland. I have yet to trace James and his 2 (known to me) sibs, Elizabeth and Mary. The MC lists James’ father as George Keane, butcher; Ann Russell’s father as Trayton Russell, farm labourer. Neither father is a signing witness on the MC. > 2. In 1881 census, James is living alone, a butler, 29yo, at 100 Eaton Square, St George Hanover Square. > 3.

She also reports that she has been married for 32yr…..which does not jibe with her MC of 1882. But note too that the son, William, seems to have been born in 1880-81….prior to the marriage in 1882. > 8. I have ordered copies of the following….. > DC. Annie Keane in 1925 > DC.

NOTE: Of Annie’s 2 dead children, I only define the one…Elizabeth. I guess another child was probably born 1884-86 and died before 1891. > I do not find James Keane (family head) in 1911 census. Note significantly that in that census listing she gives herself as “wife” and not “widow”; so am still tracking James. > Also I am still looking to trace Charles Keane. > I am quite certain that I am giving more details than you want or need. Am confidant that you will extract the necessary information > Do let me know if I can be of further help > Best, John Newbold
