Interestingly it notes that Mary and Thomas were born in England. Then there is a Mary Kelly arriving in NYC in 1910, going to her brother Mick in Brooklyn. She is listed as 27 (which would be a decade too young, but ages are often wrong) and comes from Sweetwood and her father was Pat ! The census also has a 14 year old John Gilbride living in the townland of Tullynamoyle (also in Killarga) with his 18 year old sister Mary and their father Thomas. In 1910 a 22 year old John Gilbride arrives in NYC on his way to join his sister Mary in Bronxville. His father is thomas and he is from Tullynamoyle. I think it's clear that these records are referring to the same John and Mary, but are they YOUR John and Mary ? You may want to join drumkeeranfolk @ yahoo groups which is for folks from this area. Hope this helps, good luck.
