I am completely delighted and flabbergasted - but I have guests in my back garden on a balmy night! I want to ditch them and dive into your wonderful responses. Till tomorrow - thankyou, all of you - so very much!

Australia / South Australia birth - Lucy KELLY
« on: Friday 26 February 10 07:12 GMT (UK)  »
Hello all,

I am a committed amateur, who has been dabbling in research for a few years without formal training.

I have found out a great deal of information about my family, using archival newspaper reports, ancestry.com, family notes, and talking to living relatives.

I have come to a dead end with my paternal great grandmother, Lucy Kelly. I am beginning to wonder whether she may in fact have had a different surname, perhaps even a German surname.

In any case, I will give the details I have, in the hope that one of you might be in a position to give me some information about her. I know that my father, now aged 80, would dearly love to have a fuller picture about Lucy, since she is the one of his four grandparents who remains shrouded in mystery.

MY CLUES

Name: Lucy KELLY

DOB: 19 December 1857

Place of birth: Gumeracha, South Australia, Australia

Marriage Date: 28 March 1879

Spouse: August Hermann KLOSE (German)

Date of Death: 4 September 1928

Burial Place: Birdwood (formerly Blumberg), South Australia, Australia

Children: Annie Louisa KLOSE 1882;
Albert Hermann KLOSE 1887 (he was Alby Klose, a professional footballer);
and my paternal grandmother Ada Jane KLOSE 1889.

I have this beautiful photograph of Lucy with her husband August (known by his middle name Hermann)

I have seen hints that her father's name was John KELLY, but that seems wholly unsubstantiated.

Very grateful for your skills and ideas.

Thankyou very much,

Lynne Coleman
