A is for Aylward

Andrew Keough - Catherine Aylward Family
[click to enlarge]

Catherine Aylward is the matriarch of my original ancestor family on my paternal side (the Ireland to Newfoundland connection). Her husband was Andrew Keough. Andrew Keough & Catherine Aylward are my major brick-wall (going backward).  Andrew Keough (Kough) was originally from County Carlow, Ireland (as inscribed on his tombstone).  He arrived in Newfoundland in the early 1800s and lived and worked in St. John's. Andrew and Catherine met up in St. John's and had their first child baptized at St. John's Roman Catholic Church (now the Basilica). They moved from the Avalon region to the Bonavista region. They moved first to King's Cove and later settled in Plate Cove. They had nine more children, for a total of 5 sons and 5 daughters. I have not been able to find any information on Catherine (except the baptism register notations for their children, the marriage register for her marriage to Andrew, and instances of Aylward individuals being witnesses or sponsors at various family sacraments). 

Do you recognize any of these individuals and/or the family?  Do you have conflicting dates and want to to help tidy up my genealogy "work in progress."  Are there any Aylwards out there who may know who Catherine's parents and/or siblings were?  Please contact me and let's put our "genealogy" heads together and share information.

And please do come back tomorrow to meet another of my Newfoundland families.
