*.*mag*nolia*.* Report 2 Aug 2010 18:11

Would it be possible for someone to find the baptism of these two brothers Keehner ? I think that William was born c1847 but there are 2 on Free BMD, 1847 and 1849. Mainly to confirm mothers name.

Having said that I have tried unsuccessfully on and off all day to find them in any census before their marriages, with or without their father Francis Keehner. It is obviously badly mistranscribed.
Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

Maggie

I have discovered that two sisters married two brothers.

Rosetta Evans to William Keehner 1873, Bethnal Green

Martha Evans to Francis Keehner 1871, Mile End

I have Barnett Evans as the girls' father.

Could someone with access please find me the details of these marriages?

Thanks and regards
