Hi all,

Am a complete novice with tracing Irish ancestry so any help and tips welcome.

Keogh family
Thomas born c1835 his father was also Thomas a shoe maker. Thomas junior came to England around 1850 to settle in Walsall Staffs

Naughton family

Sorry back with another question,

am particulary interested in the first lot you found,would Brigida be a similar name to Bridget? Where exactly did you find them please? I know my Mary Naughton married in our local RC chapel so could be that one, and she called one of her daughters Bridget

Thanks
