Leitrim / Re: Francis Kelly
« on: Monday 06 March 17 13:33 GMT (UK)  »
Hi MyLuck,

When I first found an Irish connection in my wife's line someone mentioned that it would be very difficult tracing back, it seems to be that way.

What has been encouraging is that you and others have taken the time to pursue this, therefore it was well worth asking for help in the first place. 
 
It's all appreciated.

Thanks Hallmark for the website information you provided.

Also thanks to MyLuck for the Athlone Link he provided, I forgot to acknowledge this earlier.

Thanks again to MyLuck and Heywood, great results as far as I am concerned.

I would certainly never have located the marriage or Eleanor’s baptism, so it’s a real bonus to have them.

Please excuse my ignorance of Irish records, but does the fact that the marriage took place in a Roman Catholic church help in possibly locating the birth/baptism of Francis.   It’s likely he was born into that faith and presumably that would help in locating when and where he was baptised in Mohill.

Eleanor would certainly be ‘ Ellen ‘ the first child of Francis and Ann. Heywood’s find regarding Ellen in the 1881 Census helps, I did not have this,  a young widow,  she was still living in the in the East End of London where the family settled. Younger brother Walter aged 23 years was living with her.

Ann’s surname looks from Irish records to be Lyster, as opposed to Lester, although, as with all records it very much depended the person recording the name.

It of course would be great to locate both Francis and Ann’s baptisms and parentage, so any further help or advice would be appreciated.

In the meantime I am extremely grateful for the help given, many  thanks.

Thank you for the interest shown , thus far.

Originally most of what we had was from the Census Returns.   I did however obtain a birth certificate of one of the children, Walter Ternes Kelly, born in 1857, and as MyLuck mentioned Anne’s surname was  recorded.  She was formerly Ann Lester, and as we know from the Census she was born in Roscommon.

As their first child Ellen was also born in Roscommon it’s possible/probable that the marriage was in that county.

I do have records re Francis from the Metropolitan Police which include his warrant number, date of joining and retirement date, he did receive a pension.  It’s from these records that I have his place of birth as Mohill.   There is nothing else in those records that take us any further, he gave his age as 28 when he joined so presumably he was born around 1816/17 as previously mentioned, as he joined the Met on the 20th October, 1845..

I am grateful to Rathmore, Heywood and MyLuck for their time and effort, any further information would be greatly appreciated.

Leitrim / Francis Kelly
« on: Wednesday 01 March 17 13:10 GMT (UK)  »
Hello,

My wife's 2 x Great Grandfather was Francis Kelly, born in Mohill, Co. Leitrim, in about 1816/17.

We know that he and his wife came in England and settled in London, aged 28 years he joined the Metropolitan Police, on the 20th October, 1845.   

Obviously we would like to know more of his ancestry, can anyone help with this, any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Australia / Re: Emigration of Edmund Alfred MORFEY 1908
« on: Monday 24 October 16 13:15 BST (UK)  »
Hi Tania,

That's great !   So we are 2nd cousins !

I'd be grateful if you can help with regard to Edmund Alfred, brother of Fred and John, in a sense he is a bit of mystery as I have never been able to find a death for him. It's possible that he emigrated too, but I have not found anything to date to support this idea.

I am sure that I could help you with the British connections, while you could with the Australian ones.

Any reply to this will be your third and will then enable you to send/receive personal messages offline.

I have been working on the family history for ten years.

Hello Tania,

Do you mean that you are the daughter of Alan Morfey, son of John Thomas Morfey, if so then you will undoubtedly be able to help me, maybe also regarding Edmund Alfred.

If you can confirm the above then we would have much to pass on to one another.

Regards,

Ian

Devon / Where would a Baptism take place in Exeter for Mowbray House Nursing Home
« on: Wednesday 29 October 14 19:11 GMT (UK)  »
Can anyone help me find my wife’s place ( church ) and date of baptism.

She was born on 1940's at Exeter, having been evacuated from London during WW2, and christened Beverley, returning to London after the war.

Her birth certificate shows she was born at Mowbray House Nursing Home, the registration district shown as Exeter, in the County Borough of Exeter.  The family were at the time living at 13 Clinton Street, Exeter.

Any help would be appreciated.


Ian
