I've come across the name SKELLY /SKELLEY in Providence, Rhode Island. I'm not related at all... just happen to have this information because I follow the MULDOWNEY families.... Edward MULDOWNEY and Johanna Skelly were married in Ireland, about 1875. The information I was provided is: He (Edward) and his wife, Johanna immigrated to the US from Liverpool aboard the ship "SS Nevada" and arrived in the Port of New York on 6 December 1876. Edward was listed on the passenger list as 30 years of age, a laborer, accompanied by his wife, "Joh. A", 20 years of age. Joanna died 11 August 1924 at the Home of the LIttle Sisters, Pawtucket Rhode Island. According to the death record, her parents were Peter Skelly and Julia Dunn. She was said to be about 92 years old; but in my notes, I guessed her age to be more like 74 years (probably from census records....) Both Edward and Joanna are buried at St. Francis Cemetery, Pawtucket, R.I. Unfortunately, none of the records I consulted give a clue as to their home in Ireland. I can tell you that the Muldowney name is most prevalent in Co. Kilkenny, followed by counties of Laois, and Mayo, and our Muldowneys were from Roscommon. A MERE guess might lead to Roscommon - I believe that the Skelly and Dunn names may be found there... among other places, I'm sure....
