Hi Claire
I'm also trying to find members of the Keen family. My father was a Keen, not quite sure where he originated from. His name was either Alfred or Albert, I know that he changed his name sometime during his life. He had a brother William, sisters Doris, Bertric and Mary. Some of them lived in the Midlands and some in London.
