HELP-Mary Kelly-Dronmore/Robert Stewart-Hillborough

[wheeldon]

  I would be grateful if any kind person can point me in the right direction-I'm doing Ok with English Geneaology but have found that a set of my Great, Great Grandparents came from Ireland and I haven't a clue where to start!  I have found them in the English 1881,1891 & 1901 census but don't know how to go back further than that.  Here is what I know of them in Ireland:

Robert Stewart born aprox 1846, Hillborough, Ireland

married Mary Kelly. born aprox 1847, dromore, County Down, Ireland

Mary had a sister called Ellen born aprox 1857, Dromore, County Down, Ireland

Any help would be much appreciated

Many Thanks
Fiona

Fiona: If you go to Ros Davies'site at  http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~rosdavies, you can search for Kellys and Stewarts. I took a look and found some Kellys in Dromore and some Stewarts in Hillsborough. Who knows, some of the names might ring a bell.  Ros has wealth of information on her site too.  Good luck.
