Wexford O'Keefe Descendants & their families

I've been in touch with Terry in Australia his wife Patsy's grandfather was Edward John O'Keefe.  Patsy has just done a DNA test and should get her results in a few weeks. 

Terry says: "Edward came to Australia from Ireland in the early 1900's and enlisted in the Australian army. Just before that he married and on his marriage certificate he said he was born in The Faythe in Wexford. I found an O'Keefe family living at The Faythe but unfortunately I can't find any reference to an Edward O'Keefe."

I have found his military records (Australia WW1) which confirms he was from Wexford.  I can currently only find one possible family for him in Wexford, very near Faythe.  "Will post update when I know more.

Synott, Sinnot family - there is a a book about them and apparently they appear in Burke's Irish families.   They have Alice May [not Mary] Synott / Sinnott in their tree marrying Richard OK and they have a sister for Richard called Teresa Judith who marries the wealthy Edmund Barry of Dublin, where they then live.  Teresa gives her birthplace as Westmeath (1901 census Dublin, where she dies 1909), and of course we don't know where Richard and his siblings were born.  However, I'm not quite sure this is the same family, some of whom end up at Rathmoylen.  This is not helped by the fact there is a baptism for an Alice Maria Synott the same year of birth 1827 with different parents! 

The baptism I prefer is  Alicia Sinnott, Baptism Age 0 Baptised 15 Nov 1827 at  Wexford, Wexford, Ireland, Diocese Ferns, Father James Sinnott, Mother Bess Neil.  preferred becasue some of this family end up in Faythe, Wexford.

The Edmund Barry family have no baptism for Alice May Synott, just a date of birth - 3 sep 1827 d. 23 July 1885  dau of Piere Sinnot = Ellen browne.  This is according to the sinnott genealogy site, and their info sourced from Burke's Irish Family Records (1976), pages 1092-1096 (Synnott).


So maybe there are 2 Alices.   Confusion reigns!
