There are a number of possible deaths for Robert Kelly in Newry 1922 onwards:

18.12 1931 aged 76

21.4.1934 aged 65

14.10.1935 aged 59

10.1.1931 aged 71.

Pay to view on the GRONI site.

There are several trees on Ancestry with this family. You'll get a lot of detail there. The family was in England for quite a while, and at least one daughter (Lucy) ended up in Scotland, so some of the events you are looking for may have been outside Ireland.
