Eh! Mary: Since I last posted with you, I have come across some interesting facts. I discovered Thomas Kelly living in Oxford-On-Rideau Township on the Leebee/Censuses & Assessments/Grenville County/Ontario/Canada/1840/1841/1842/1851/1861/1871/1881. {Located @ <www.ott.igs.net/~leebee> Thomas KELLY was found under the Leebee Assessments as follows: Year.

James Kelly is, subsequently, found on the 1871 Ceunsus as a 33 year old farmer of the Methodist Religion living in Kent District; Harwich Subdistrict. Also prior research shows, according to the Index to the 1871 Census of Ontario - National Archives of Canada {Archiva Net} that Thomas Kelly was 61 years of age and his birthplace was ireland. This also lists his religion as Church of England, Anglican and his occupation as a Labourer. The District is listed as Leeds & Grenville North (070) and the Sub-District as Oxford (E) which is Oxford-On-Rideau Township. From this information I glean that Thomas Kelly's D.O.B. was about 1810 or 1811. Furthermore, it appears that Hannah Kelly's maiden name was Hannah Brown based on your data base of Kelley/Kelly Marriages performed in Ontario in 1873, 1874 and 1875, as abstracted from the Ontario Marriage Films held at the LDS {Latter Day Saints Church} Library. I discovered this from the following marriage that you abstracted.... "KELLY, MARIA on 3 22 75; Cert. # 004 644... of KEMPTVILLE {year/75..remarks..}..Age 21. (Residence - ) Born in ONT, married JOHN ROSE. Parents: THOMAS & HANNAH BROWN (Rel - METH) WIT: IAS ROSE, MERRICKVILLE, THOMAS KELLY, OXFORD." On this same data base I discovered the following marriages of Thomas Kelly's children: "KELLY, MARTHA ON 09 01 73; Cert # 007 325..of KEMPTVILLE {year/73..remarks..}..Age 20. (Residence -) Born in Wolford T, married Edmund Fulcher. Parents: Thomas & Hannah Kelly (Rel -) Wit: Wm Brown & Maria Kelly." "KELLY, JERUSHA on 2 04 74; Cert # 005 468..of MERRICKVILLE {year/74...remarks..}..Age 20. (Residence-MERRICKVILLE} Born in Burritt's Rapids, married JAMES ALBERT ROSE. Parents: THOMAS & HANNAH (Rel - METH) WIT: WM & CATHERINE ROSE." I find that Thomas KELLY appeared on the 1841 & 1842 Leebee Oxford-On-Rideau, Grenville County, Ontario, Canada, Census as well as the 1840; 1841; and 1842 Leebee Assessments. However, Thomas KELLY does not appear in the 1848 or 1851 Leebee Census; nor in the 1844; 1847; 1850; or 1851 Assessments. For about a seventeen {17} year period {From 1844 until 1861}, Thomas KELLY disappears from Oxford-On-Rideau Township, Grenville County, Ontario, Canada, but Thomas KELLY appears again with a wife and a family in the 1861, 1871, and 1881 Leebee Census. Where Thomas KELLY went for that period of time is a mystery to discover. Did he go to Kent County Ontario, near Harwich Township, where James KELLY eventually, settled, or someplace else in Canada or Ireland? The "Great Hunger" occurred during this time period in Ireland. In the mid-1840's the potato famine was going on in Ireland. There may be some connection. The 1881 Leebee Census lists Thomas KELLY as about seventy (70) years old and Hannah KELLY as about sixty-seven (67) years old. They had one child Albert KELLY {About age 15} at home. The 1891 & 1901 Leebee Census does not list Thomas, Hannah, nor Albert KELLY in Oxford-On-Rideau Township. I suspect that Hannah & Thomas KELLY are deceased and that Albert KELLY has moved away. Please update my listing, on Kelly Kanadian Kin, accordingly. Thank You! Loren G. Kelly, An Irish Canadian American, Living In Texas! --part1_8ec727aa.2504cdb9_boundary--
