Ed:

Your Kelly family certainly had very bad luck with their health. Looks like none of them lived past age 40. My only sugggest is to pursue DNA testing and possibly you will match someone who was a descendant of this family. They may not be someone in Ireland but possibly in another country: England, Canada, USA etc. I assume you are a great-grandson of one of the children?

Let me know if you have any questions.
