Looking for Kelly family in Ballymoe
Hello,
I am trying to locate information on my Kelly ancestors, whoI believe were from Ballymoe, Co. Galway.
Father: Michael Kelly, b. abt or prior to 1847
Spouse: Unknown
Daughter: Margaret "Maggie" M. Kelly, b. abt 1867, d. 1930;immigrated to the United States abt 1886/1887 and resided in New York City, and perhaps arrived via Boston, MA.
Daughter: Maria Kelly, b. abt 1873
My paternal great-grandmother, Margaret "Maggie" Kelly (above)married Joseph Hubon, presumably in the United States, and had threeboys, Patrick Hubon (b. 1890) Robert Hubon (b. 1892), and Joseph (b. 1894, d. 1895). Upon their father's death in 1895, Maggiesent the Patrick and Robert to Ireland to be with her family. Family lore, which may be completely incorrect,was that the boyswere supported bya'rich aunt' andeducated whilein Ireland. Also, one of Maggie's sister's may have immigrated to Cuba.
The only records I've been able to locate are as follows:
==May 1895 - Patrick and Robert travel from New York City to Ireland onboard theship "Majestic",through Liverpool, England,accompanied by a Mary Miller,age 32,or Kate Kelly,age 24, relationships unknown.
==Sept 1897 - Patrick and Robert return to New York City onboard the S.S. Lucania accompanied by their aunt, Maria Kelly, age 24, occupation: servant, last residence:"Ballymoe, Co. Galway". See lines 26-28 on attachment.
The boys may have returned to Ireland again but I have not been able to locate any supporting documentation.
Any suggestions you might have in locating further information about the Kelly familywould be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards,
Karen Reed
