Mary Kelly, a daughter of Bernard Kelly of Dromena, Co Down, Ireland, married Edward Moore of Rathfriland, Co Down, in 1874. (Hence reference to RATHFRILAND.) In his will dated May 1904, Bernard Kelly referred to his daughter, Mary Moore, and to his son Edward Kelly of WARRINGTON.
A daughter of Edward and Mary Moore was Agnes, who became a nun.
When she died in 1975, cousins from WARRINGTON were said to have attended the funeral.
I know nothing else about Edward Kelly of WARRINGTON, but hoped that the names of Moore and Kelly; and Rathfriland and Warrington might mean something to  readers. Thanks for the interest shown.

Possible? 1911 census:
In Warrington, Lancashire

Have you checked the surnames interest list on here and have you put the Kelly and Moore names on with relevant places? It has a column for comments.

Thank you both. The 1911 census looks very promising. I'll also take a look at the "surnames interests" list.

The problem is that there are 262 people called Kelly, living in Warrington, on the 1901 census?

It looks good. Some comments though. For Edmund read Edward.
Elsewhere I've found a marriage between Edward Kelly and Mary Kelly (sic) in Co Down in Aug 1888.
Mary's mother was given as A Cunningham. Perhaps the A stands for Alice? If so, in the 1911 census, Mary would be Alice's daughter, and not daughter - in - law?

The GRO Index Search shows Mother's maiden names for almost all births, 1847-1916. So:

KELLY, EDWARD        KELLY

KELLY, MARY        KELLY      
GRO Reference: 1903  D Quarter in WARRINGTON  Volume 08C  Page 262

KELLY, WILFRED        KELLY

and

KELLY, CATHERINE        KELLY        
GRO Reference: 1899  J Quarter in WARRINGTON  Volume 08C  Page 225

in the 1901 census, Mary would be Alice's daughter, and not daughter - in - law?

Don't forget that what we have is the enumerator's summary sheet. The enumerator may well have "corrected" the relationships, not knowing that Mary's maiden name was also Kelly.
