Barry Crocker, is the son of  Jean Crocker, who is a daughter of Mary Keenan, one of Henry and Nancy Keenan's 11 children.  Barry (b.1935) is a legendary Australian singer, television performer and actor, and appears to be the only showbiz celebrity in the family.

Mary Keenan married John (Jock) Houston.  Below is a copy of what Barry Crocker has written about Mary Keenan and Jock Houston.  Sadly, Mary, who was married at 16, "spent the rest of her married life in abject mysery - Jock was a dreamer and a drinker".

Parts of Barry's book are published on Google Books,  http://books.google.com.au.

The photograph below is a cropped version of one supplied to Brian Keenan by Anita Arnold, who wrote: "Jessie is standing at rear. Joe is next to John Houston. Don is beside Mary Houston (nee Keenan). Jean is the little fair one.  (She is Barry Crocker's mother.)  Robert/ Bob is in front of Jean. Maggie was away when this photo was taken."
