Michael J. Kelley

Sorry, cann't help, no connection to my family tree as far as I know.

Michale was born as you state in 1865 

He is registered civilly 29 Sep 1865 and it looks like he was born in Clooncah. His sister Margaret was registered as being born 24 July 1870 

His mother is registered though as Ann and his father is Michael 

There are no other Michael Kellys in 1865 with a mother Moran 

Clooncah is in Killimorday parish and I will pass on this query to a person who is working with that parish

And this is the family in 1901

My great-grandmother, Elizabeth Clarke, born c. 1871 married Patrick Kelly in 1885/86 in the Lawrencetown-Killimor-Eyrecourt area. Their daughter, Elizabeth Kelly, my grandmother, married William Flannery of Killimor in 1903.  Both women emigrated to the US in 1900. My grandfather emigrated in 1898. I was told Patrick Kelly died before my grandmother was born. I would like to know if there are any Kellys who may be distand relatives of mine.
