Valerie Report 7 Feb 2010 18:15

I am trying to find Sarah Keefe born 1852 - I think on 1861 census it says O'Keefe but on 1851 census her mothers name is Keeff with Richard born Gibraltar 1841 plus other family but cannot find them at all after this. Can anyone help. Please I have been for years trying to find relatives of Joseph Keefe born Gib 1838 father William. Now on the 1852 census I have found Richard born 1841 Gib father William. but spellings are different. I have William senior dying 1856 Portsea. It all seems to much of a coincidence not to be the same family. As all these names are the same as Josephs children. Please help I would really appreciate it. I can only understand the basic searches but I have been all afternoon and got nowhere. Thank you
