Hi everyone. My mother and I have come across some additional Kelly info on our line that I wanted to share in hopes of someone related out there :) Patrick Kelly had married Catherine Shea in 1812 in co. derry. by 1842 my ggg grandfather - edward kelly (their son) and anne kelly the middle daughter had left ireland. anne went to australia and edward to the states (NY). No trace of anyone else. In 1851 edward had been married for a few years and moved his family to ancaster, canada for no reason we could find. Until....we may have found his father, Patrick Kelly (spelled Kelley on the census). this is the new info: Patrick Kelley b @ 1794 in Ireland at @ age 58 along with the following people: Mary Kelley b@1812 age 40 John Kelley b@ 1835 Ellon Kelley b@ 1839 Owen Kelley b@ 1848 Patrick with family lived in district 41 sub-dist 390, page 145, line 14-18 Edward is in dist 41, sub-dist 390, page 41, line 14 Patrick had met and married Mary in Ireland - we figured Catherine - his first wife had died. All the rest of the kids listed above were also born in Ireland. I hope this isnt too confusing.
