I am looking for information on Patrick Luke Kelly married to Francis Byrne. Their children were Mary, Catherine, Patrick, Edward, and Luke Francis. Luke Francis was born in Ashford, County Wicklow, Aug 15, 1828. Luke Francis moved to the United States sometime between 1850 and 1859.

Hi Ticker,
Thank you for the advice :)
Yes, I've tried all of those. I wrote to the county Wicklow Genealogy Society and they want $200 to provide information. I was hoping to find something that wouldn't cost me that much, but I guess I'm going to have to shell out the money. :(

Hi Jo
I would persevere a bit longer before parting with your cash - someone might come up with something for you - fingers crossed.
