William Henry Kelly my grandfather born Nov. 2, 1867 in Illinois died Dec. 11, 1920 at Merna, Nebraska married Francis Spitz of Illinois. My question is Thomas let Shanagolden at the age of 19 and went to Canada in Illinois by the time the first child was born where did Thomas and Ann get married? Ann let Ireland at the age of nine years of age and her family went to Canada. Thomas let Ireland do to some big family conflict is what I had heard. Does anyone have any knowledge of this family. There are 2 other missing brothers is what I am told. Valerie dkelly@nebi.com
