    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Kelley Moher Minnie Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/CYm.2ACIB/3081 Message Board Post: This is a pure shot in the dark, but I must try. If you can provide any ideas on where I can find more information, I'd be most appreciative! I am working on my husband's genealogy and we are in search of his grandfather, William G. Kelley. Supposedly he was a golden gloves boxer in Ohio, though I have no idea how to find any information on it. His name is William G. Kelley, he married Mildred Alice Minnie on Dec. 21, 1926 in Lucas County, Ohio. According to the marriage record it states that he was born in Vermont (around 1906 - based off the 1930 census in Detroit, Michigan) and we think he died sometime after 1959 in Toledo, Ohio. They had two children, a daughter who died at a very young age around 1931 and my husband’s father, Richard Kelley. The marriage certificate states that his parents are William Kelley and Alice Moher, and they had two other children Margaret F. Kelley (1902-1987) and Agnes Kelley. Supposedly his parents passed on and his sister Margaret raised him in Detroit, Michigan. Sometime after his daughter's death, he left so that Mildred could receive government benefits to feed her and their son. He never came back. I'm trying to figure out what happened to him and being that he has a common name it hasn't been an easy task. Any ideas on where I can search for him?
