James Keating born 24 / 12 / 1870 in Balla, County Mayo to a Richard Keating and Sarah Reilly. I think Sarah Reilly died sometime afterwards and Richard remarried and came to England to live in Chester.
However I've found it hard to trace James. I think I found him in the 1901 census as a lodger in Blackburn (born 1868 in Castlebar, Ireland) although not sure.
He had two brothers named Richard (Balla, 1865) who was living with his father in Chester in 1881 and John (1867) who I can't find anything for. I think he also had a sister named Mary Keating born 1862 in Newtown Ireland.
If I'm right, their father married a Bridget Dunne and had another family that lived in Chester.
I'm starting to go a bit goggly eyed :-S and just wondered if anyone else could find any evidence of them in the censuses!
