Mazza,

The NLI register have records of marriages -1849-1850, 1860-1883. If Thomas and Margaret were married around 1844 it wouldn't have been recorded. Recorded baptism records were 1850-1851, 1855-1881. John might have been born prior to 1855. Other than baptism/ birth records birthdates are not always accurate. Civil births were recorded starting in 1864.

MaryTV, Thankyou so much for the above info. I only had the dates for Margaret Kelly's death, but no source details, so your Roots Ireland info is much appreciated. I was fortunate enough to stumble upon another researcher's death details for Thomas Kelly. They had a copy of Thomas Kelly's original death registration which showed Michael Kelly as the informant for his father's death as well.

John Kelly - I agree he was possibly born prior 1855. There is a 9 year gap between the first and second born, it seems feasible John was born sometime during this period. Will research this further....

Thankyou again for your help.
