Peter KEHOE and Sarah WHITE
Ireland to Quinnville, (Gatineau), Quebec, c. 1842
May 4, 2010:
Hi Al,
I've found a Peter Kehoe family, this time in Quinnville (is that Gatineau Pointe?). I don't know if this Peter was related to
those other Wicklow Kehoes who came to Bytown in the 1840s, but Peter was a name the Clonmore parish Kehoes favoured.
Maybe someone out there will have the answer to that.
