If Elizabeth were born in Mullingar rather than (Mulingar), this could be the County town of West Meath in Ireland. I wonder if they were an Army family?

Ashton, Lancs could be Ashton-under-Lyne (Ashton RD) or Ashton in Makerfield (Wigan RD)

hi
found them on later census all but robert mckeon i just wanted to know if there are records that tell you when they went in the orpanage and when they came out

To discover that you need to track down the admission/discharge records if they still survive.

Although it was later taken over by the National Children's Society, Hampshire Archive service would be a good place to start.

The local records office may have admission registers.

Might be worth reading through the advice re records here

hi
they were a army family all the children were born to patrick mckeon they were not orphans in 1881 mother was still a live married to someone else in 1879 he was also a army man and they had a baby in 1880 my grandmother also had 7 more children i just can't make out how a mother can put her children in a home just dont seem right to me

It wasn't unheard of for children to be in a home when the mother remarried, have seen this before. Or maybe it was just too hard moving all these children around!
Do you know where she was 1891? Maybe Robert was back with her by then?

hi
no robert was not back with mother in 1891 i have looked for him but they spelt the name mckeon in different ways he's father lived in liverpool most of he's life so i was looking for robert there in case one of he's fathers brothers had taken him in

Different times, if the mother had left her husband he would have had custody probably, and she might not have had any say in them being put into the orphanage ( and their father may have had no choice if no other member of his family could look after them).

hi
patrick the father was discharged from army in 1877 in aldershot he must have died because the mother remarried in 1879 and robert was only baby
