Kelly: My line descends from a Thomas Kelly {D.O.B. Unknown-But of Irish Origin}! He married a Hannah Brown {Marriage date unknown} and they sired a son by the name of James Kelly who was born on 09, Sep. 1838 in Burritt's Rapids, which is located in Oxford-Township-On-The Riedeau Canal, Grenville County, Ontario, Canada. As a result of my research, I discovered a Thomas Kelly on the 1842 Census of Grenville County residing in Oxford Township on the second concession; lot two; and he had five people in his family group. The 1842 Census also indicated that Thomas Kelly had resided there for seven years {Since about 1835}. I also checked Assessments for Grenville County {Oxford Township} and discovered a Thomas Kelley residing on Concession four; Lot six; consisting of 100 acres in 1840. Also in the Census Records for the Four Townships on the Rideau River, I discovered a Thomas Kelly residing in Oxford Township in 1840. This is probably my G-G-Grandfather. There was a Ransom Kelly residing in Montague Township in 1825 and I discovered a baptism from Montague Township regarding a Sarah Kelly who was born on 23, March, 1845 to a Martin & Maria Kelly. I have also seen Military Records on a Martin Kelly and the name has popped up a number of times during my research in Grenville County. >From Ontario marriage records I have also been able to determine that James Kelly s/o Thomas and Hannah Kelly also had three sisters as follows: Martha Kelly; Jerusha Kelly; and Maria Kelly. Now from the marriage records it appears that my Kellys' moved around between Merrickville; Burritt's Rapids; & Kemptville in 1873; 1874; & 1875. These marriage records indicated that they were all Methodists. I do know that on James Kelly's {My Great Grandfather's} death certificate there is a mention of Montreal. Where is Mara Township? Could the above Kelly's be related to your Martin Kelly? Thanks, Loren Kelly, An Irish Canadian American, Living In Texas! --part1_f79964a0.24e0fcd5_boundary--
