I am looking for any information on the sons of George KEEN who was my gt-grandfather. He was Scottish and his wife was Susan SULLIVAN who was Irish. They had seven sons, one of them John KEEN (born 23.01.1873) in Islington, is my grandfather. I am trying to trace his brothers and their descendants. John KEEN lived in Highgate and the Upper Holloway area, and also lived later on in Gillespie Road. His eldest son, Charles Henry KEEN, is my father (born 23.01.1909). He knew he had cousins he did not know, probably still in the Islington area. If you have any information please get in touch. ANN LAVERY (nee KEEN)
