    1. [KELLEY] Kelley family in Anniston / Birmingham AL in 1900-1910
    2. Mike Kelley
    3. Hello, I am searching for links and information about my Kelley line from AL in 1900 and before and after. Both spellings are commonly mixed in our family records from that time. My ggf ( George W. Kelly, born in Georgia in 1858 ) lived in Birmingham with my gf, his brothers and sister and ggf's recent new wife (4 years) Nannie in 1900 census. They had lived in Anniston in 1896 and 1898 (City Directory). The next year, 1901, my gf, George Singleton Kelley, moved to Anniston and married Miss Curtis Carter. My father Arthur and perhaps one more child were born there in the next few years, 1903 for Arthur. George Singleton Kelly (my gf) died before 1910, and I cannot find his death record or obit. My ggf, George W Kelly, is in the 1910 census as an inmate in Birmingham, Jefferson County Jail. Listed as a widower. That is the last record I have found of him. The rest of his family from the 1900 census has disappeared as well. They include GW, his (recent) wife Nannie, son George S (my gf, born 1881)., daughter Nancy E.( born 1884) and son Henry D. Kelly. Henry was born in 1892. Their actual mother was born in AL, as were all three of them. I am seeking traces of any of those mentioned, death notices, obit for any of them, incarceration and release information on my ggf, and any clues about the death of my actual ggm, name and all information unknown about her except that she was born in Alabama and so were her children. Her youngest child was born in 1892, so she must have died then or shortly thereafter, probably in Anniston or Birmingham. Thank you for any clues or information about any of these persons. I'm hoping to expand my circle of family knowledge. I have a City Directory for Anniston for 1931 and a list of cemetary occupants from Etowah County if anyone needs look-ups from there. Just drop me a line with whatever info you have. Thanks, Mike Kelley ...can't afford the gene DNA test, but hoping to be able to someday soon...
