Hi Troy thank you for your message I have found Louis he is the Son on George senior who was born in Germany 1834 and came to Dublin  in 1849, he lived in Chancery Lane, Wood Quay at number 13 and was a guesthouse proprieter and Barrel Organ owner. It was his Son Louis that is my great grandfather. this would make us cousins I think. please contact me if you have any info on Louis Life, thanks for your help all the best Edd

Hi Edd L, my Great grandfather Peter Kelly shows up on both the 1901 and 1911 census as living at the Lodge House that your great great grandfather owned. I have a birth Cert of my grandfathers which shows his father (peter kelly)'s occupation as Organ Grinder! At first I thought this was a mistake, then I stumbled upon him in the census. He must have been thought by George or louis at that house. Do you have any more info of the lodge house or the area, any photos?

hi Kelly im sorry i do not have any photos at the moment if i do get any i will post them to you. Edd

Kellydynasty,

are you sure that its the same peter kelly, in the 1901 census hes 16 the peter kelly in 1911 is 24
this was my great great grand fathers house I dont have any photos either ,still trying to track some down
I know Georges sons thought music at some stage in waterford and one of them stayed in lodgings in dunlaoghrie (kingstown) as an organ grinder by the next census they were all coal delivery men obviously more money at that, organ grinding died with the on set of the wireless, modern technology eh.

Hi Doug
            i dont think any names for the Pacelli's were anglisised,Francis had two sons all male's from these lines still use the proper spelling.
You will see the odd Picilli and other variations but this would be down to mid wives who registered the children as they would have understandably have had a strong Italian accent and very little English as they came to Dublin between 1880 and 1890 possibly via Scotland where their siblings lived in the 1890s
Joseph Pacelli had a tough oul time married in 1894 wife died by 1898 and a daughter Philomena 1899  he had 3 daughters 2 here in Dublin and one possibly born Scotland as she is registered there.
His daughter Philomena did not appear on the 1901 census and there does not appear to be a death recorded for her however after much fiddling with the Glasnevin index and going through the alphabet i found her buried there aged 2 in 1899 as Flumina Pacelli so you can imagine a grieving Italian trying to get the name Philomena across to an Irish undertaker,other than this i dont appear to be missing anybody through change of name.
