Hi Al, 

I have some detailed information for a page on Patrick KEHOE of Marlborough: 

1851 census of Marlborough
Patrick Kehoe, Tailor, b. Ire., RC, 50
Honor, ditto, 42
Andrew, ditto, 22
William, ditto, 20
Mary Ann, b. UC, 18
Catherine, b. UC, 16
Eliza, b. UC, 14
Sarah, b. UC, 9
Hanora, b. UC, 5(?)
Patrick, b. UC, 12
Thomas, b. UC, 8(?) 

Patrick seems to have had a first marriage to a Jane BRASIL, by whom 
he had two children in Croneyhorn (Hot Pot Lane), Co. Wicklow: (taken 
from the Tomacork parish records): 

MARY KEHOE bapt. 6th MARCH 1824
sp: JOHN KENEDY / KENNEDY and DOLLY RYAN
Hot Pot Lane (Croneyhorn)

ELINOR KEHOE bapt. 12th JUNE 1825
sp: WILLIAM and CATHERINE BRASSILL
Hot Pot Lane (Croneyhorn) 

According to the Fitzwilliam estate rentals records for 1827, Patrick Kehoe 
was aged 30, a widower, living with one son and two daughters. He was a tailor, 
and had a cabin only (no land).

This Patrick Kehoe was gone by the time of the 1839 rental records, and no 
other Patrick Kehoe was present in Croneyhorn in 1827 or 1839. 

Then here is the St. Philip’s, Richmond, Goulbourn Township marriage record 
for his daughter, Elinor Kehoe: 

11 Oct 1846
Marriage of John BYRNE, son of Silvester Byrn and of Catharine McDonnell, 
Parish of Clonagall, Ireland, and Elinor KEHOE, daughter of Patrick Kehoe 
and Jane Brazzle, Parish of Tamacork, County Wicklow. The witness was Patrick Kehoe. 

This couple was listed in the 1851 census for Augusta, ON, with their children 
Mary, Jane, and Silvester.  

In Augusta the Byrnes lived close to other emigres from the same area of 
the Fitzwilliam estate:  Thomas and Honor Trainor;  Arthur and Eliza Byrne; 
Peter Doyle and his siblings; and Gabriel and Nancy Tarp / Thorp. 
 

Patrick Kehoe took as a second wife, Hanora RALPH: (TOMACORK RC POS.4256, 
Tomacork parish records in the National Library of Ireland) 

PATRICK KEHOE married HONOR RALPH 19th FEB. 1828 in BALLARD.
wit : PATRICK and ELLEN FOX. 

Two children were born to the Kehoe / Ralph couple in Ireland: 

ANDREW KEHOE bapt. 12th MAY 1829 the son of
PATRICK KEHOE and HONOR RALPH
sp: DES BYRNE and MARY BRAZIL
Hot Pot Lane (Croneyhorn) 

WILLIAM KEHOE bapt. 19th SEPT. 1832 the son of PATRICK KEHOE and HONOR RALPH
sp: JAMES RALPH and ANTY KERVAN ( KERIVAN?) or KERWIN
Hot Pot Lane (Croneyhorn) 

Perhaps there are other researchers who would add to this information.

 I happened on to your site recently. I am D. James Kehoe of
NY, USA. I am a great, great grandson of the Patrick
Kehoe who emigrated from Croneyhorn on the Fitzwilliam
estate to Marlborough Township. He was first married to Jane
Brassill. They had Mary, Elinor and my great grandfather,
James. I think they emigrated to Canada around the 1833-1836
time frame. Patrick's second marriage was to Hanora
Ralph and they had several more children, both in Ireland
and Canada. James married Catherine Wrinkle and they were
the parents of my grandfather, William James. William James
moved to upstate New York around 1855. His father died
around 1869. The family is listed in the Canada 1871 census
as living in Lanark, Ontario. James died around 1869,
according to family history, of tuberculosis. Many of the
family members moved to Lewis County in Northern, New York
in the 1850's.

Any further information that you may be able to provide me
would be most greatly appreciated.

Yours truly,

D. James Kehoe

Thank you very much for writing, James. I've passed your email message to 
Mary Jo Guinan, who is descended from the Brazel family who also lived in 
Marlborough Twp., and I expect that you and she will have much to share.

I wanted to ask if your Patrick Kehoe might have had a son named 
Patrick, who would have been old enough to have married in 1837? I've 
attached a marriage record from Notre Dame Basilica in Ottawa for a Patrick 
Kehoe to an Ellen Harnet. Now there was a Harnett family, who were Church of 
England, and who also lived in Marlborough. They had a daughter Elizabeth, 
and I wondered if she might have been the person called Ellen who married 
Mr. Kehoe.
