KEATING, MAURICE BAGENAL ST. LEGER (d. 1835), soldier and author, entered the 3rd dragoons as cornet on 14 May 1778, but obtained a lieutenancy in the 22nd light dragoons on 16 Dec. 1779, and became captain on 20 June 1781, and major 13 Dec. 1782 in the same regiment. In 1783 his regiment was disbanded, and he was put on half-pay. He was M.P. for co. Kildare in 1790 and 1801. While still on half-pay he was promoted lieutenant-colonel, 12 Oct. 1793. On 8 April 1794 he was placed in command of the 107th foot, and when that regiment was disbanded in 1795 he was kept upon full pay. He left the army in 1796, and died in 1835. He married Martha, second daughter of Anthony Brabazon, eighth earl of Meath. In 1784 Keating accompanied Consul-general George Payne on a tour through France and Spain to Morocco, of which he published an account entitled ‘Travels in Europe and Africa,’ London, 1816. This work was reissued in 1817 as ‘Travels through France, Spain, and Morocco.’ Keating also published ‘Eidometria, or Optic Mensuration,’ 1812, and translated ‘The True History of the Conquest of Mexico,’ from the Spanish of Bernal Diaz del Castillo, 1800. The last is favorably reviewed in the ‘British Critic’ (xvii. 27, 151, 252), and is praised by Southey in a note to ‘Madoc.’

I am Joseph Keating of Cahirsiveen, Co. Kerry. I am the second of five. Maurice, Joseph, Maura, Michael & Paul. My Father is Joseph, the youngest of eight from Gurraneregh (known also to them as Knockeens). My mother is Carmel, also Keating, from Derrynane harbour, Caherdaniel.
I thought I’d say hello as there may be some common ground in the past.
Hi Joseph,
Your grandfather was Maurice (1895-1940) married to Norah Clifford (1893-1989)
His father was Maurice born c 1850 married to Catherine Golden
His father was Dennis Keating of Letter who married a “Hurrig” Neil of Valentia
Your father’s brother Jerome was the Superior General of the Christian Brothers.
My aunt Noreen O’Connell, Irish House still lives in Cahirsiveen, her grandfather was Michael Keating master blacksmith.
Your Carmel was originally from Carhan

Hi…..Read above info with interest. Do you have further info on Maurice Keating (twin of Denis born 1791)? My 2ggrandfather was a Maurice Keating who served in the British Army in India (in and around Bangalore).According to his military record, he was a clerk before he enlisted. He married an Elizabeth (possibly Sullivan) and had at least 4 children with her, one being Frances Keatinge, my grandmother.
…….Any connections……Syl
Hi Syl,
Maurices twin Dennis was my GGG grandfather. I have the full family lines. None of that particular Keating line served in the British army. Military records are quite good. Best of luck.

Thanks, Brendan, for sharing your Keating details. Our common ancestor is John Joseph Keating (1760-1833), after which point my line follows Thomas (1789) and then the Patricks (1820, 1839, and 1862) to my great-grandmother Maude (Murian) Keating (1893-1935).
