Looking for Kelly family from Dublin Dun Laoghaire

[yorkshirelass666]

Hello,
Im new to this and not really sure what I'm doing but I'm having a go.
I'm researching D'Arcys Ireland and Kellys from Dun Laogharie, Dublin. Alacoque Kelly was born 1898 in Dun Laogharie her father is on her marriage certificate as James Kelly deceased who was a mail cart driver. my family say he was killed in an accident whilst driving the cart in bad weather in sallynoggin. Alacoque had a brother Thomas who reputedly became a blacksmith  sister Mary Kate, Celia, Bridget who married John Ward, and Ann. Family dont have much info about the Kellys.
 D'ArcyLooking for a Michael D'Arcy born abt 1899/1900 Ireland he had a brother called Patrick his father was called Lawrence and is on Michaels marriage certificate as a plumber we think these were too from Dublin  Ireland.
Any help or knowledge of where to look would be greatly appreciated as this is a bit overwhelming lol!

To start with here's is a possible match for her birth on the BMD Index. You can use these references to order a cert from from the GRO which will give more details, such as address, mother's maiden name, date and place of birth etc..

 Name: Alacoque Josephine Kelly
 Registration district:   Rathdown
 Event type: Birth
 Quarter and year: Apr-Jun 1898
 volume : 2 / page : 855

(Rathdown district covers South East County Dublin and North Co. Wicklow and includes Dun Laoghaire)

For some detail on Irish Records and searching them see :

p.s. I've moved your topic to the main Dublin board which is the one used for queries.

p.p.s - fixed a typo in the first part of the message...

this looks like Alacoque with her family  on the 1911 census :

   Kelly household - Sarsfield Street, Kingstown (Dun Laoghaire)

mother Kate, and Father James, and his occupation is bread-van driver, Alacoque's brother Thomas is listed as a blacksmith.

  Kelly household, Glenegeary Road, Glasthule - 1901
 
Glenageary is to the south of Dun Laoghaire and inland.
