It seems alot of kelley's are from the midwest to the south and my line of kelley comes from Pennsylvania and Isle of Mann.. Not alot of people have kin comming from those area's.. My GGrandfather is from England as well as his father James Kelley from the Isle of Mann.. My GGrandfather Joshua John Ross Kelley was born in England or in Philadelphia Pa not sure which yet but on his grave the name is O`kelly.. He was buried in Barking Cemetery, England 12/27/1920.. Now when researching I keep falling back to the name Kelly from Ireland but now I was told about joshua's grave with O`Kelly.. Its very difficult to know exactly how its spelled or where they came from.. Since there are so many way's of spelling Kelley/Kelly/O`kelly and so on you may just find out that we are all from one place and all related but depending on where certian clan's ended up is how it was spelled.. Apparently it wasnt "COOL" to be a Kelly, Kelley or O`Kelly way back then.. I must say though.. with the strong sense of family I was brought up with Im proud to be one No matter how its spelled.. Charlotte kalieee@lava.net Hi, where in Pennsylvania are your Kell(e)y's? I have a Richard Blaine Kelley born in Indiana County, PA in 1913. His father was James Blaine Kelley born 1888? probably in Indiana County, PA. His father was James L. Kelley dates unknown, assumed to have been born in Indiana County, PA, but nothing to prove this. Would love to correspond with you if any of this sounds familiar. TTYL, Janet E. Tabares
