I have just received birth certificates from Ireland. I can make out most of the handwriting, but am unable to decipher the names of the residences of the fathers. The first is for Joseph Thomas Kellet, son of James Kellet and Catherine Kellet (nee Finegan) born 18 November 1874 in Registrar's District of Carrickmacross, district of Dionaghmoyne, County Monaghan. The place of residence for James Kellet appears to be "Lisnakelly". The Registrar was Charles Garland. The second is for Mary Bridget Kellett, daughter of Joseph Kellett and Catherine Kellett (nee Dooley) born 3 August 1905 in Registrar's District of Castleblayney, district of Castleblayney, County Monaghan. The place of residence for Joseph Kellett appears to be "Clonavogy". The Registrar ws John P. Clarke. If anyone can better determine the residence names, or knows of this Kellet/Kellett family, I would appreciate any and all help I can get. Thank you. Nora Barr Reno, NV

Nora Barr Reno, NV > You spelled them correctly. Both are in FARNEY barony. LISNAKELLY is a 158 acre townland in Killanny parish which is south of, and adjoins Donaghmoyne parish. CLONAVOGY is a 128 acre townland in Donaghmoyne parish. Both have common borders with Magheross (Maghaire Rois) parish wherein Carrickmacross lies.
