Roscommon / Re: luke kelly kilkeevan castlerea

Further update.Just returned fro Church of ireland library in Churchtown.Here i was given the church records in two volumes for kilkeevan for the years 1750-1850.My mystery as to why my family called themselves o conor kelly.Dr luke Kelly first wife wasMaria elizabeth o Conor daughter of Roderick o Connor of Milton.I then consulted Burkes history of the landed gentry page 524 and here she is mentioned as marrying Dr kelly.You can trace her family backtool roderick o Connor -Captain Bryan o Connor and all the way to turloch mor king of ireland 1156

Just to update followers of this topic.Louie Henry kelly started a tea plantation in 1870  in Ceylon.He named it after his fathers birth place-"castlereagh" .There is also a Lake Castlereagh beside the plantation.Pictures of this beautiful location can be found on Ceylon tea trails. Its amazing that a family so far away still felt a connection with county roscommon even if they may have never visited?.Once again thanks to Heather for this information.

Just an update on research. Dr luke walter kelly born in 1802. Md Edinburgh 1825. First child born in 1830. Seemingly first wife died and he joined the army in 1832 as  a surgeon He remarried in london and was posted to Ceylon in 1837 .His children were edmund( first family) ,emily louisa,henrietta and henry richard (second marriage) .Thanks to Heather for all her hard searching.Would love to hear from others with these names in family. Still searching for name of his first wife (maybe campbell or o conor).Any help appreciated.

Great to hear from you Sam. This is fantastic as I was despairing of getting any reply. I would love you to look at the o gradys on the Dublin county page and also "Dr Luke Kelly" on the Roscommon page to let you see my efforts to discover my family . I had a James o Grady apothacery  living in aughamore in 1820.I presume this is the Dr James o grady mentioned as living in Swinford. I would love any other info you might have. interestingly I grew up in Swinford and never knew any of this  family history until recently.I now live and work in Dublin.Thanks so much.I had come across references about Michael o Grady and the workhouse in local history publications.

Thanks once again.If anyone is interested here is a link to the poor law report
1830s.My luke kelly is critical of the local gentry so it may not have helped him.

Many thanks myluck.Your link on apothecaries has thrown up some good information. I have found the family-edmund, luke and charles -Iin low park mayo in 1792-1797. I believe this is charlestown not too far away.They must have moved to castlerea in the 1820s as all three names are there.T hey are not listed in Slaters directory of 1840s so they must have moved on again.I did find a reference to a Luke kelly ships surgeon from roscommon on a pension list so it may be possible he joined up.The other links i know of.The reason i think they may be family is that a James o grady was  an apothecary in Tavrane(found on list) and he is the father of kate who married edmund charles kelly in 1861.Her brother francis ,also a doctor married a sister of doctor Dillon in ballaghaderreen.So i fee lthey may have married people involved in medicine.

thanks heywood for reply. the marriage record i looked up on family search did not refer to occupation.I will check out the death record you mentioned at roscommon heritage centre( i presume)I have a baptism record of an edmund kelly 1829 ,father called luke ,foughill which is about 4 miles outside castlerea.(ch of ireland kilkeevan).Wondered if doctors lived in countryside at this time.Interested in previous posts concerning local ch of ir. graveyard and if any kellys buried there.The family had some connection with "o conor " as the eldest boy called himself charles luke o conor kelly.This is a bit of a mystery to me and would love if someone could throw some light on same.

Roscommon / luke kelly kilkeevan castlerea
« on: Tuesday 26 March 13 17:43 GMT (UK)  »
I am interested in a Doctor luke kelly of Castlerea who was a doctor in the 1830s and his father edmund kelly who was the local doctor in Loughlyn, according to a Poor Law report .I was wondering if anyone else has any information on them as i want to include/exclude them from my family tree. An edmund kelly married  a Kate o grady in 1861 in swinford.father was Luke kelly. I know my g.g grandfather was born in roscommon(1901 census) and i am trying to make a connection .
