Biography

Abina O'Keefe was born October 14, 1872 in Watergrasshill, County Cork, Ireland, the daughter of Daniel O'Keefe and his wife Abina Mary Troy,and baptized as Abigail O'Keefe in the Immaculate Conception RC Chapel at Watergrasshill, Rathcormack RC Parish, Diocese of Cork and Ross, County Cork, Ireland on October 15, 1872.

Abina O'Keefe was one of several siblings, all girls:

  1. Abina O'Keefe born October 14, 1872, and baptized on October 15, 1872, in Watergrasshill, Diocese of Cork and Ross, County Cork, Ireland, probably died in who probably died young, because another sister is named for her in 1880.
  2. Bridget O'Keefe, born 1873, who married Michael Twomey, a Laborer from Knopogue Carrignavor on February 25, 1911 in Watergrasshill.
  3. Ellen O'Keefe, born in 1874 and baptized on June 25, 1874 in Immaculate Conception RC Chapel, Watergrasshill, Diocese of Cork and Ross, County Cork, Ireland. Her baptismal sponsors were Patrick O'Keefe and Margaret Kirby. We do not have a marriage record for her, and she might have died young. She was named after her maternal grandmother Ellen O'Brien Troy.
  4. Norah O'Keefe born in 1875, who married Cornelius "Con" O'Riordan, a Laborer from Condonstown, son of David Riordan, on November 27, 1909, in Watergrasshill. Norah O'Keefe O'Riordan is probably recorded in his family in the 1911 Census of Ireland.
  5. Mary Bridget O'Keefe born about December 1875 and baptized January 1, 1876, who married John Curtin. Her baptismal sponsors were Thomas Troy, born 1854, and Abby Keefe. She passed away before 1973.
  6. Norah O'Keefe born in May 1878, and baptized on May 26, 1878, who married Cornelius "Con" O'Riordan, a Laborer from Condonstown, son of David Riordan, on November 27, 1909 in Watergrasshill. Her baptismal sponsors were James O'Keefe and Ellen Troy, who may be Ellen O'Brien Troy or Ellen Troy McCarthy.
  7. Abina O'Keefe Savage was born December 2, 1880, and baptized on December 3, 1880. Her baptismal sponsors were James Troy and Hannah O'Keefe. Abby O'Keefe married William Savage on March 7, 1916 in Watergrasshill. She may have been named for an older sister born in 1872. But her baptismal record clearly states that this Abby O'Keefe, born 1880, married William Savage, Jr., son of William Savage Sr. and Mulcahy on March 7, 1916. Her marriage sponsors were David Savage and Kate Troy. This sponsor is probably Kate Troy, born 1890. her first cousin, daughter of James Troy of Monananig. Kate Troy would be 26 years old in 1916.
  8. Mary O'Keefe born in 1878, who married John Curtin, and had seven Curtin children.
  9. possibly others who may have died as babies. More research is necessary:
  • Ellen O'Keefe
  • Abesia O'Keefe
  • Hannah O'Keefe

Abina O'Keefe Savage passed away before 1980 in County Cork, Ireland
