I am a Caine. My father traced our ancestry indeed to County Mayo. G G William Caine
moved from Derryfadda to the UK around 1895. In the UK, the Clerk of Works wrote down his
name as Caine. The first mention of a Keane appears in Griffith's Primary Education
report of 1850. In it a local landlord let out his land to tenant farmers, one of which
was Patrick Keane. The next mention of a Keane is in 1900, called William. He is also
mentioned in the census of 1901 and 1911. Patrick Keane is however, where the end of the
line goes. Nobody knows beyond 1850...
