In Ford cemetery, the Keeleys; a husband and wife, two children (my maternal grandmother being one of them) and a guy called Richard Delaney buried in 1934 aged 80 who isn't even in my tree! An Elizabeth Delaney married a Keeley in 1868, so presumably Richard is related. Elizabeth's father was James, as I have the marriage certificate, as I thought it might have been him.
. Richard Delaney died in 1934 and wont be in the register, and haven't connected him with any census returns yet, but the 1911 Lancashire - Kirkdale - 19 for 5 Rickman Street looks very promising; he was from Wexford, as was Elizabeth Delaney who married Patrick Keeley in 1868 in Prescot. Richard was married to Mary Ellen. Census states that they have no children. Mary Ellen has one son, Walter Thomas. Mary Ellen's maiden name looks like Cocklin or Cochlin when she married Walter Bottomley in Liverpool in 1886. Walter died in 1891 and she married Richard Delaney in 1894. Still don't know why Richard should be in with the Keeleys and not with his wife. There is a FreeBMD entry for a Mary E Keeley who died Q1 in 1934, so about the same time as Richard, and the age matches.
Many thanks, John
