Leitrim-Roscommon

I'm looking for information on my wifes grandfather,
James KEEGAN. He was born about 1878.
His father was John KEEGAN a farmer, mother Mary (FLYNN).
James was a miner and died Newcumnock Scotland 09/12/1935.
On the death certificate it says his father was deceased by this time.
I belive he was born in the Leitrim / Roscommon area, I know this is a long shot but if it rings bells with anyone please contact me.
Regards Paul.

Paul:

I searched the 1901 census data base and found the record below which possibly is your family. Drumharkan Glebe is the townland and Cloone is the parish in Co. Leitrim
