That first reply you received was spam. That happens from time to time here.

Kelly/Kelley is a very common surname (the second most common name in Ireland), as is John as a given name, so it would help greatly if you have any other info about him, such as the name of a parent or sibling, or any reference to a location other than just Mayo.

The Kelly surname had several different (unrelated) origins in Ireland.  One "clan" originated in what is now County Galway, so Mayo Kelly's are likely (though not certainly) to be of that origin.

The FamilySearch database has a half dozen Juhn Kelly records for people born in Mayo in the 1830's.  One is a John Patrick Kelly (ID # LZF2-XBH) listed as being born 18 May 1835, shown with records for his parents (Patrick Kelly and Ann Riordan) and four younger sibings (Thomas, Margaret, Walter, and Mary) who were all born in the US in the 1840's, three of them being born in Wisconsin, where this John Kelly died 28 June 1913.  Does that sound at all like your family?

Hi Kevin, My John Kelley ancestor may have been from Castlebar or Ballinrobe. He died in Erie, Pennsylvania, USA about 1875 -1880. Quite sure the last name was spelled Kelley, vice Kelly.

thanks, Mike B.
