Title: Death of John Kelly RIC
Post by: sirsimon on Thursday 27 March 25 19:53 GMT (UK)
Hello,

Was wondering if someone could help me find the death of John Kelly, born in Donegal 1860.

He was a policeman and may or may not have been the father of my great great grandmother Mary Ryan, born 1882 in Union Workhouse Tipperary to Johanna Ryan.

He is alive in 1901 in Mullinahone, Tipperary with his wife Honorah. However he had passed by 1911 when the family are in Kilkenny.

Any information would be appreciated

47559 was aged 25 and 10 months when he joined in 1881, so born a fair bit before 1860.
