My great grandmother Elizabeth (surname spelled?)
married Duncan MacDonald (McDonald). At the time of the 1891 Census in Nova Scotia, Canada, they were listed as residents of Harbour au Bouche (Havre Bouche) as follows:

McDonald
Duncan hd. age 39 Fisherman (Catholic)
Elizabeth wf. age 31
James son age 15
Mary E. dau age 12
Daniel son age 09
Catherine J. dau age 08
Angus son age 05
Elizabeth M. dau age 02
Vencient son age 1.12

Note: My grandfather was Vincent MacDonald born
April 01, 1891 Havre Bouche, Nova Scotia
Baptized at St. Anne's Catholic Church on
April 3rd, 1891 Son of Duncan & Elizabeth
Duncan's father's name was Angus.

My assumption is that Vincent's first name was merely a spelling error and that the 1.12 may indicate months rather than years old. If the census was taken in June, that would be in keeping with an April birthdate. The forename Vincent was not very common amongst the McDonald's at the time therefore I am fairly certain that this is my line.

The problem is that I can not find any Kehoe's or variant spellings in the NS 1891 Census. I did find a few MacKeough's but that's it. There is a very good likelihood that Elizabeth's family was residing elsewhere.

I would love to hear from anyone that feels there may be any connection or who like me, is simply trying to find some link to same. Thankyou!
