Thank you for your reply Liam.
   It is great to hear from a relative who is living in the area that the family are from. Do you have any information about our ancestors over there?  I don't know if you would be interested in the descendants of Joe Kelly after he moved to Scotland, or if you already know.  I know it's a big ask, but do you have any family photos.  If so, I could let you have my email and exchange some info.
looking forward to hearing from you soon.      Henry

Hi,

I would be interested to know if the Kellys of Shandrum were related to the Kellys of Kinnagoe.

I believe my ancestor William Kelly was a miller there in the early 1800s and by the 1860s there was a Joseph Kelly living there. I know it's a long shot, but since the townlands were next to each other and the families both used the names William and Joseph I wondered if there might have been a connection between the families. I have heard that there are still Kellys in the area that know of, or are descended from Kelly the miller.

Regards,

Robert

Hi
My grandad was Joseph Kelly who died in 1965. My dad is Patrick Kelly and is the only one of Joe's children still alive near Glasgow. Think we all may be related!
Henry who were your grandparents as my dad must be your great-uncle?
