Israel KELSEY - Stockwith/Haxey/Gainsborough area c1817?

[sbunter]

Trying to find the parents/family of Israel KELSEY born about 1817 in Stockwith/Gainsborough area.
He was a cabinet maker and by 1841 was in Manchester, Lancs with his first wife Mary ? and son William age 10.
His second marriage certificate indicates that his father was Thomas KELSEY, farmer.
I have been unable to trace any origins of Israel in Lincolnshire, or his first marriage, and was hoping someone could help,
thanks,
Sharon

Thanks Annie for the info.
It is all very confusing as in the 1841 census in Manchester his "wife" is Mary, but also in the household is a Sarah RENSHAW. Then the marriage in 1846 to a Mary RENSHAW, and then from the 1851 census his wife is recorded as Ann.
Maybe this Israel married 3 times???
He is leading us a merry dance I suspect,
thanks,
Sharon
