In Reply to: Sibings John A., Margaret, James, Mary, Edward & Helen in Ohio by Sarah Allen of 644

I am trying to compile more information on this family to see if they connect to my James and Letha KEEFFE with son Vernon.

1910 Miracode has: This seems to be the son of Edward Keefe.
Census for the state of Ohio
Edward Keefe: Birthplace Ohio Age: 27
Enumeration District 27
Visit: 0167
Columbus, Franklin County
Relation: Brother
Head of Household: Margaret Keefe

Searching for Edward living with his Sister according to the above Miracode:
1910 Census: From Heritage Quest:
The named searched: Margaret Keefe only brings up one:
Margaret Keefe: Age 36 Female White Birthplace: Ohio Census for 5 Ward Columbus
This Margaret matches to the age of the one in 1880 census with a birth year of about 1873.
Clicking on the name brings up the wrong page. It brings up Enumeration District #142 Sheet No 7. Searching pages before and after are of no help.

Columbus, Ohio Directories 1887 -92 have:
Name                     Location                      Occupation Years of Directory
Edward Keefe: s e corner Neil and Naghten Laborer       1887-1892
Edward Keefe: 268 Neil                            Laborer       1887-1892
Edward Keefe: 268 Neil                            Laborer       1889,1890
Edward Keefe: 112 ½ E. Town              Clerk              1891,1892
Ellen Keefe (Widow Edward)                            268 Neil       1892
(It appears Edward passes away between 1890 and 1892.)

Son: John
1910 Census Search:
KEEFE        JOHN       32       M       W       OH       OH       FRANKLIN        3-WD COLUMBUS        1910
This page didn’t view. Pages that came up are in Supervisor’s District 11 Enumeration District 119 Sheet 4 A.

1920 Search : John: None are age 42 or near to that in Ohio.
So far only this one with the right age but wrong given birthplace:
