Census 1901 in Ireland

Below are the results of my search of The National Archives of Ireland for all Keenans in the townland of Glenone in 1901.  I have calculated the approximate date of birth of each person, and added those dates to the search report.

The first six (6) names on the list are members of the family of James and Maria Keenan (see Tree above).  The last two could be a brother and sister of James, or John could be a brother of James and Eliza could be John's wife.

James Keenan

James Keenan of Glenone, NI, died 12 June 1906. Probate was granted to William J Browne and William Gamble, farmers. His effects were valued at 127 pounds 5 shillings. (Source: willcaledars.nationalarchives.ie )
