To Maryann and Cathy who were so kind as to reply to my question about John Kelley and Anna Hines in Kilkenny around 1820: I'm fairly sure they never left Ireland. Their daughter Margaret's obit implied that she left Kilkenny alone. She married James Pendergast in New York State, probably Livingston County, and AFAIK lived there the rest of her life. This means the wedding photo in Kilkenny probably is not her. I must admit that I'm not 100% sure they did not marry in Ireland, but it seems unlikely. More research needed, obviously. I agree about spelling variations. We must always try them. Thanks again. Carol McGann in St. Augustine, FL
