Looks like we have the correct ones then - this is the marriage of Patrick and Sarah in 1935 in Dublin - his address was Knockananna in Co. Wicklow.

The register entry can be seen here:

NB - A totally irrelevant point but I thought it a strange coincidence that the Priest was also called Patrick O'Keeffe - I suppose it must have been a vey common name.

This is the record of that death in 1940.

The child was 11 months old and her address was Knockananna in Co. Wicklow.

She was a labourer's daughter and present at her death was a Patrick J O'Keeffe (possibly her father??)

?? O'Keefe Bernadette 1939 — 1939 Irish Births 1864-1958 Cork, Ireland

If she's your aunt I assume she is sibling to one of your parents? Do you have details of the parents?

Irish census 1901 and 1911 are free when you can get back to them
