Edward Vivian Harvey Keane (8 August 1844 – 9 July 1904) was an Australian engineer, businessman, and politician. Born in Birkenhead, England, he was educated at Christ's Hospital, and emigrated to Melbourne, Victoria, in 1876. Keane then moved to South Australia, where he worked as a railway engineer. He later moved to Western Australia, where he served in both the Legislative Assembly and the Legislative Council. ==Early life== Keane was born on 8 August 1844 in Birkenhead, Cheshire. His father, also Edward Keane, was a captain in the Royal Navy, and was a relative of John Keane, 1st Baron Keane, who had been made a peer for his service in India.〔Roberts, Kim. (Keane, Edward Vivien Harvey (1844–1904) ) – Australian Dictionary of Biography. Retrieved 1 July 2012.〕 In the mid-1870s, construction was begun on a railway line in the Kapunda area of South Australia, with Keane appointed as the engineer in charge of the project. The line was originally surveyed to run through ''Illawarra'', a property owned by Abraham White, brother of James White MP, but Keane had a new survey carried out so that the line was moved away from the property. He married White's daughter, Lilla Rebecca Wharton White (1858–1934), at St. Peter's College Chapel in Adelaide on 27 May 1879. They would later have five children.〔(CANNING JARRAH TIMBER COMPANY ) – Pickering Brook Heritage Group, Inc. Retrieved 11 July 2012.〕
