I am looking for MARIA KELLY, she appeared on the 1870 California census living with (I believe) her brother (MICHAEL KELLY) in San Francisco. The census indicated she was born in Connecticut around 1850. She was 20 years old at the time of the 1870 census. MICHAEL KELLY birth place was indicated as Ireland. Michael had married Mary Fahey (b. 04 July 1826) of County Tipperary, most likely in Connecticut. Most of the documentation on Michael (My GGrandfather) was lost during the 1907 San Francisco earthquake. I believe Michael and his parents first landed in New York and moved to Connecticut in the 1840's and Maria was born 1849/50. Michael and Maria may have had other sibling who resided in Connecticut or New York. Thank you for your time in reading my quest of the past. I would sincerely appreciate any assistance in kindling our trail to the dim past. From the mist of the sod, comes a tail that those that provide a hand, see the true colors of life. May your tomorrow be brighter.
