Am also looking for Kelso relations.  Would your Kelso line have lived near Ballarat in the late 1800s?  Have a John Kirk Kelso, son of Edward and Matilda (McCombe) c1852, born either Antrim Town, County Antrim, or Donaghadee, County Down. 

Edward c1827 was half-brother to my gggf, Hessie Kelso c1823.

Thanks very much for checking.

Edward Kelso married Matlda McCombe in 1852 Larne district. Eventually the scanned image of civil register will be online on Irish Genealogy site (free)- supposed to be added in November but update to site seems to be delayed.

Thanks for the update Aghadowey, good to know.  Do you have specifics on what records will be updated when they do eventually come out?

**The General Register Office are currently working on updating further records of Marriages dating back to 1845 and Deaths dating back to 1864. These will be included in future updates to the records available on the website.

This is I think your Kelso line:- https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Kelso-697

I am in the process of updating this line on Wikitree.  There are quite a few births and marriages to be added.

Robert Kelso had a son called John.  Robert and John's occupation was carpenter.  John Kelso had a son called John.  When the son married, his father's name was stated as John and his father's occupation was stated as carpenter.  They all link back to Robert Kelso and his first wife Mary Gourley.  I will add the relevant certificates to the Wikitree records in due course.

Lucy and John's first child - John was born in 1915 in 62 Cambrai Street
