Anna was widowed sometime between 1910 and 1920, and re-married. Her 2nd husband was Frank Morgan, of Cavin, Ireland. There were no children from this marriage.

Mary Keegan married Thomas McCormick, and they had five children, only three of whom survived to adulthood: Anna May, Rita (my mother) and Richard.

I am the x3 great grand-daughter of Robert Edward Keegan born 1809 Longford, County Longford. Transported to Australia 1835 on Lady Kennaway. Died 1881 Doughboy Hollow NSW Australia.
His parents were Thomas Keegan and Catherine Ward. I know he left a wife, Jane and a daughter ? in Ireland.
Any relations to you?

I don't know. I have been unable to locate, with any certainty, any other relatives of the Keegans back in Ireland. I have census records to support what I do have - have you looked at those?

No I haven't done anything in Ireland line. Can you tell me how to do that?
I do know (source: extract from Convicts Restricted Index held at Society of Australian Genealogists 120 Kent St Sydney NSW Australia) that Robert Edward's father was Thomas Keegan, a farmer at BallyMacormick, his mother was Catherine Ward and he also had a brother at the same place".
