I am researching Alex Moreland born 1879, married to Mary Jane Keenan. They have 3 children, John, Andrew and Elizabeth He was a pig farmer in Grey Abbey. His father was John, I believe his mother was Margaret Atcheson.. I know that Mary Jane and Alex were married about 1902. They lived in Muirkirk Scotland for some time, Alex worked in the mines. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Sharlene

Thanks for al the info! The Andrew that died in 1937. would you think he is the brother of Alex or uncle? I have found info for both. How can I apply for the records and will it show more information; parents, wife? The Keenans raises more questions. I have info from the Keenan side but I am missing the mother of Samuel Keenan born about 1856. Have the marriage record for Eliza and Samuel and his father is listed as Samuel.
So many questions. Sharlene

Sharlene.....Given that both spelling of the Kennan/Keenan surname has been transcribed it may be worthwhile considering the following from 1901 Census..(Grey Abbey)
Residents of a house 111 in Grey Abbey (Greyabby, Down)
McCullough Mary Jane 12 Female Grand Daughter Episcopelian Co Down Hem Folder Read and write - Not Married -
McCullough David 16 Male Grand Son Episcopelian Co Down Stone Breaker Read and write - Not Married -
Kennan Jane 68 Female Head of Family Episcopelian Co Down Embroiderer Cannot read
1911.....Jane KEENAN
Residents of a house 21 in Grey Abbey Town (Grey Abbey, Down)
Crommie Margaret J 57 Female Head of Family Church of Ireland Co Down Linen Embroiderer Cannot read - Widow - - - - McCullough David 26 Male Son Church of Ireland Co Down Agricultural Labourer Read and write - Single - - - - McCullough Mary Jane 22 Female Daughter Church of Ireland Co Down Linen Embroiderer Read and write - Single - - - - Crommie Samuel 14 Male Son Church of Ireland Co Down Agricultural Labourer Read and write - Single - - - - Crommie Alexander 12 Male Son Church of Ireland Co Down Scholar Read and write - Single - - - - **Keenan Jane 80** Female Mother Church of Ireland Co Down - Cannot read - Single - - - - Brown Bella 1 Female Grand Daughter Church of Ireland
Looks as if Mary has been married twice....
I think you are going to have a job sorting who is who as there are Aitcheson.s/Keenans/McCullochs/Brown all living around about one another....

On Samuel and Eliza's marriage cert, he occupation is labourer. It is interesting about the embroider, my grandmother was an embroider. She was taught by the Moreland/Keenan family.

I'd check out those death certificates, maybe one of the children was the informant
Try Samuels first as he is likely to have been the informant on his wifes death certificate
