Moran and Keenan Family as viewed through the US Census 1900-1930

According to the 1900 Census, James and Annie Moran were living in Cardington, Upper Darby Township. They had been married eight years and they had five children: Patrick F.- 8, Thomas - 6, Mary - 3, Annie -2 & Kate 10 months. James was a mill laborer who states that he was born in England and came to the US in 1880. He is 36 years old, born in February, 1864. Annie lists no occupation, but with five children we know she was working hard to keep all of them clean and fed – with none of our modern appliances! Annie also states that she was born in England, November, 1873 and came to the US in 1888.

I think it might be interesting to note that on the same page of the 1900 US Census, a George Keenan, his wife Alice, son Samuel, brother-in-law Samuel Richmond and sister-in-law Minnie Richmond all reside two dwellings from the Moran’s. George’s occupation is listed as "patent loom man".

In the 1910 Census, Annie Moran and a George Keenan (same as above?) have been married 5 years. They live at 6121 Delancy Street in Philadelphia. They have a daughter, Cecelia, who is five and Annie’s six Moran children adding John – 9, and Nellie – 7. This means that James must have died around 1903-04. The 1910 Census only gives ages, not month & year of birth. George is a hotel bartender and Francis (must be Patrick F., same age) and Thomas are working in woolen mills. Annie states that she came to the US in 1890– making it harder to pin down an immigration record for her – dates are different than 1900.

In the 1920 Census the Keenan’s are residing at 603 Glenwood Road in East Lansdowne. Annie again says that she came to the US in 1890 and was naturalized in 1892 – more consistent with dates! Thomas (machinist, plumbing company), Kate (spooling, cotton mill), John (apprentice, lithographer), Nellie (weaver, cotton mill & Cecelia (weaver, cotton mill) are living with them as is a nephew, Thomas Patterson (2 years and 3 months). Cecelia is 14 year old.

In the 1930 Census the Keenan’s are living at 227 Lexington Avenue in East Lansdowne. George is 61 and not working. Living with them are John (lithograph), Kate (winder, textile mill), Nellie (winder, textile mill) and a grandson, Thomas Keenan – 12. Thomas is more than likely the nephew listed in 1920. I can only guess at his parents. Annie states that she came to the US in 1887 – a different date altogether!

Questions for more research:
Did Annie Moran marry George Keenan her neighbor – if so, what happened to George’s first wife and son?  2012 UPDATE:  Yes, Annie did marry George in 1905.  Annie's husband James died in February, 1903 and Alice Barber Keenan died in October 1903. George's son Samuel is living with the Richmonds in the 1910 census and by the 1920 census has changed his name to Richmond. 

Is Thomas Patterson, Thomas Keenan? Who are his parents?

Where/when were Evan Morris and Cecelia Keenan married - George Evan Morris was born in 1925.
