My grandfather George Kelly was born in Castleblaney Monaghan October 10th 1864. I have his birth cert and his parents were Patrick Kelly and Elizabeth Duffy.
I want to find out who his siblings were (although I may be on a wild goose chase). Searching on various sites for births to these parents between 1855 and 1880 I have come up with six possibilities - George October 1864
Mary May 1865 (bit too close?)
Sarah May 1867
Ellen August 1867 (problem here!)
Patrick June 1871
Elizabeth April 1880
In the 1901 census there is a Patrick Kelly and Elizabeth Kelly in Drumore Monaghan living with their two daughters Sarah and Lissy. The parents state they have had 6 children and they are all still living.
But they can't be the six I found can they, because of clashes in the dates of birth. Is there any point in me going on with this, or something I'm missing?
I would be grateful for comments.
By the way, George left Ireland for England when he was in his twenties. He married and died in England.

Yes, I've looked at them. The family seem to have moved around various places, Patrick was a labourer and didn't seem to have his own plot of land. So I can't link births to one particular area.
I was just wondering if anyone had any ideas about linking siblings to parents apart from births and that census of 1901.

You have come up with six possibilities - George October 1864
Mary May 1865 (bit too close?)
Sarah May 1867
Ellen August 1867 (problem here!)
Patrick June 1871
Elizabeth April 1880
So search the newly released Civil Reg stuff, see what details there are for those after 1865
-
E.G.
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/details-civil/24c0dc3650454 is Mary
with correct parents so it is just a matter of checking each Kelly between 1865 and 1880 selecting Castleblaney etc from Column on left.
-
I've done all that now and printed them off.
It's not right though, is it? Two of them are born in the same year - big hint I'm off track!
Another two have only about 7 months between them, hmm.....
Something tells me there was another couple called Patrick and Elizabeth nee Duffy in that area.
On the other hand, the Patrick and Elizabeth Kelly in Drumore Monaghan in the 1901 census say they had 6 children, and I haven't come up with any more children born to parents of that name.
Time to make a cup of tea....

Hi I have looked at several sites.
You will have to pull all these together.
George, on his Baptism record it says Birth date 4th October 1864.
In the civil register book it says date of birth 10th October 1864.
I will send the Baptism info of George, Sarah, Ellen and Elizabeth via PM.
On some it doesn't state Elizabeth's maiden name, but the address is still the same.
I will see if I can find the other 2 names.
I often wondered what an "Irish Twin" was, they are born in the same year but 9 months or so between them. Twins usually have "Twin to and the other name entered on each of the records"

Sending everything by PM cuts everyone else out that is trying to help!!
How are we supposed to know what has been found? not found??
-
I was going to say look at the parish register and see if any of the births were registered late.
Birth dates on birth Certs are often later than the baptism....but the site is offline at the moment.

Thank you all so much.
Thank you also Maggsie for taking the time to lay all that out - do you have the baptism info for Mary too, just to complete the six?
Yes, I've been trying to piece something together from death records this morning, as dathai has suggested. I suppose I'm looking for another couple called Patrick and Elizabeth Duffy, as I don't think all these children here can be theirs, even though they said they had six.
While Mary could conceivably (sorry about that!) have been born 7 months after George, allowing for late registration, there is no way Sarah could have been born in May 1867 and Ellen in August 1867.
A long time ago I searched for a marriage between Patrick and Elizabeth on the Roots site and came up with only one in that area in 1855, too early probably for my research. But it's also true that a lot of Monaghan records are not on that site. In view of that, it's possible that there were other children born to P and E before the 1864 cutoff.
-
Look at the parish, all but one are in the same parish so more likely to be the same family, if they are the family you want or not is a different story.
Free Parish Registers still off line so can't even check what available to search at the moment.

Hi Maggsie, what you sent me previously were the church baptism records for four of the children. Do you have the baptisms for Mary (1865) and Patrick (1871) just to complete the six? I already have the civil registration printouts. thanks.

Ok, I have just found the records in Ancestry.
They are duplicated. 2 sites have been entered into Ancestry at different times.
Any way here are the records

So are the above dates Births or Baptisms?

If you go to the registers.nli.ie and find the Parish you will see the entries.

if you are working with Baptism dates then allow for the age of each child..

Thanks Sinann, George is my grandfather so that was a good one to start off on!
Hallmark, yes my first list was civil registration dates. Thanks to Sinann, I now know that George was actually born on October 4th and not 10th.
The next one along is Mary who was registered on May 12th 1865. I can't find her in the parish registers but in any case she must have been baptised before May 12th. That's only 7 months after George was born.
I'm putting a link here to Mary's civil registration, mainly to ask people what they think the placename is - Drum something or other.
I'm also shrinking the link, is that the right thing to do or can I just put original links?

I think I may be onto a glimmer of light here. I think there were two couples with the same names. That's based mainly on the fact that Sarah and Ellen appear to be born both in the same year only 4 months apart (although I must admit I haven't seen their baptism records).
Trolling through deaths for Patrick and Elizabeth I have one for a Patrick Kelly died 1902, present at death was daughter Ellen, the place something like 'Ednanea'.
On the 1901 census I have found him with daughter Ellen and 'sister' Ellen Duffy in Edeneaneane, Ballybay.
This only means there were two different families. On with the hunt.
-
Well that is progress in itself....
-
Ok, I'm here again and getting really frustrated over this.
I have now printed out all the civil registrations for these six Kelly children. I have also found the baptism records for three of them.
I can't for the life of me find the other three in Baptism records though. I'm really fed up with myself, but I think I'm going to damage my eyesight if I don't give it a break.
So if anyone has the time and patience to have a look at these and tell me where their baptisms are I would be eternally grateful.

Just put in Kelly and year ranges 1865 to 1865 etc and Castleblaney then Search...
Same with 1871 to 1871 for Pat etc

The 1864 one shows up because REGISTRATION took place in 1865

The townlands was what was needed, to try to find Parish they were in.

What a lot of time and effort you've put in Hallmark. I should have put on the parishes (as far as I could understand the writing) from the civil registrations. I have all the civil registrations you put on here, I just can't get ahead with the baptisms.
I've just tried again with Dromore and Drumcreegan but I can't find the names I want.
Can you make out the townland name on Patrick's civil registration (June 1871)? It seems to begin with a C or an F maybe, a short word.
Thanks so much for your help.

Only took a few minutes and at least everyone can see What's What...
I think it MIGHT be Crieve/Creeve...

I think we might be talking at crossed purposes here. I meant the two spellings for Crieve/Creeve. It's a place in Monaghan but apparently not the name of a parish there, as the NLI site is giving me only Elphin.
I had also already looked up those two for Aughnamullen but I can't find the baptism I'm looking for.
Still can't find any of those three baptisms I'm looking for, but I do appreciate your help.
