Hi Bridget,
I am very interested in your comments about both Keady and Higgins of Doon.
My ggranfather was John Higgins (1843-1925) of Doon. I believe that his father may have
been Peter Higgins. Possibly the Peter Higgins you mention.
John's wife was Honor (Nora) Keady (1841-1921), her mother was Bridget(1796 - after
1901). I would love to identify Nora and Bridget's Keady family. I believe that the
various Higgins families of Doon may have all been related. I am trying to make sense of
how they might connect up.
Griffith shows a John, Peter, Matthew and Matthew Jnr in Doon.
So I am very interested in the land records you mention and their dates.
You also mention Keady's of Newtown. My maternal ggfather Michael Keady (1851-1924)of
Lisagurraun I believe was related to your Keadys of Newtown but at present I do not know
how they connect.
Micheal's wife was Nora Keady (1857-1904) of Coolaghy her father was a Micheal, he had
at least one brother and sister.
I would love to hear from you here or at my e-mail address of tadhg.uiginn(a)gmail.com
Tim
