Hi Jackie,

Thank you for the message. I have replied to your Facebook address, however, I don't use FB, so I hope you receive it okay.

Just in case, I have also sent you my email details in a personal message on this site and will send you a link to some family records and photo albums when you send me an email address. I am not too keen on posting private stuff on public websites.

Great to hear from you.

A

Hello,

I can not begin to tell you how pleased I am to get your post.

I have spent many years trying to solve this puzzle and find out what happened to John when he went to America. I am only sorry my father is not alive as he would have been so happy.

I was given a copy of that family tree you mention in your post at a family gathering this summer. Fr Paddy O'Kelly SJ, completed it in 1968 just before I was born as the rest of my siblings are listed but as I was not born yet, I am not shown.

My grandfather was Michael Kelly, brother of John, Paul and James W and son of James Kelly and Annie Kelly (nee Doyle).
Michael married Muriel O'Kelly and they had three children, Ned, Patrick and Anne.
Patrick was my father and he passed away 15 years ago.
Anne, who you met in the 60's, was my Aunt.
Michael, my grandfather died in 1950.

I am writing this from my phone but so I will keep it short but I am delighted to be able to write to a relative of John as it has taken me many years to find your side of the family.

I have some details on Paul, lots on all the brothers early lives and much on the extended side of the family.
I will send more when I am sitting at my desk tomorrow includingsome photos.

I will also send you my contact details in a personal message.

Happy New Year

All the very best to you and your family.

Btw, There are nine great grandchildren of Michael on our side.

Mc Hugh's Chemist was still in Athy and within the same family until recently.

Thanks, appreciate that.

Yes, that makes sense, in accordance with the WWI military records, his occupation and considering the type of Mumps he had as per his Medical notes.

Was he still in the Victoria area of NSW when he died or does it give a location on the death cert.
I would love to see a copy of the cert if you get a chance.

Notes on the death Notice.

Notes on other attendees;

E J O'Kelly, who was in attendance at the funeral was Michael's brother in law.
He was the owner of a Public house in Baltinglass, which is still there to this day, now called Germaine's and owned by the same family.

Btw, Mum thinks Paul had one child when he returned to Dublin.

John seemed to be still alive by the mid to late 50's when Anne (now probably Annette) went to the states to nurse.

Hi,

Thank you so much, that's really great to have.

I have a photo of the family headstone in Bennekerry from the 1950's when it was still legible that I will dig out and send to you.

Mum and Dad were dating about a year at the time when his father died, he was just 19 and heartbroken at the loss. It's also sad to see their was no mention of Michael's brothers in the notice, so I wonder if they had also passed?

I hadn't realised Michael was still known as 'Michael Kelly', I thought he had also used the name O'Kelly, as his wife, Muriel and all the children had the surname 'O'Kelly'.

Mum tells me 'Fr. M. Kelly S.J.' shown here was a Jesuit priest based in Gardner street in Dublin and Michael's first cousin.

'Mrs. Keane', was we think, 'Babs Keane' who was my father's favourite relation and apparently according to my Mum, a lovely warm lady. I don't however, know 'Bab's' relationship to the family. I know when she died she had a relation (nephew) we think, who worked in Arnotts in Grafton street.

I live in the UK so hence my visits to Dublins archives and Library are rare, but that maybe just as well, or I'd get no work done.

I was fascinated to read about Eric Douglas Doyle MC died in 1917. He was such a hero and how tragic that he died so young. Thank you so much for that, I loved it . I will take a trip to the Imperial War Museum and look him up.

I have attached a link for a photo from the Delaney archive Flickr pages, for James J.Nolan a surgeon probationer on Board HMS Candytuft, which I thought you'd like to see.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/delanyarchive/7176372457/in/set-72157629784522282.

There were some great photos of Dr. Nolan, his dad, also on Flickr until recently, with a very early Armstrong Sidley car, but they have vanished, so if they re-appear I will send you the link.

Best Regards
