Thanks gladys, will find out on the weekend

Kellyville is the area from years ago, there is a Kelly Road which is dead end Road, and it is off Koheroa Road heading towards Mangatawhiri and you can find it on the road map.

Would now be in Waikato District, not Franklin.

Yes, but not all of Franklin is under Waikato .....

Would the homestead have been in Kelly Road?  Do you know the number? 

It's farming district - so no numbers on letter boxes then ... not like these days when we have RAPID Numbers, which is easy for emergency services to find us.

Hi all, dropped out to Mercer on Sat and the museum is still being set up, it's at 7 Roose St next to the Fire Brigade

Will have to keep an eye out for opening day in the local rag.   We are only 15 mins drive away.

Hi

Many thanks for finding out, had a look on my old Tumonz map and found Roose Rd. Wonder if the property belong to Sidney FATT as a Sydney James FATT was a Baker in Mercer.  Any idea on what it is called ? Hoping when opened they may have information on the KELLY'S.

The three Kelly Children born in NZ abt 1861 (unnamed at present, 1866 (Margaret went to Brisbane with husband & children), 1867 (William Henry Waikato, found most of the family).

There's no signage displayed so don't know when it'll be up and running
