Once again thanks for your helpful advice, the information i found for Matilda,s  birth place was at MWF4-D46 on family search but like you say there is no real evidence.

I have acquired a copy of Mary Kelso,s  Death Certificate and it makes her birth year at about 1862 and states birth area as Rosepark Derry Ireland, ,from the internet I think it might be a place in Londonderry City, but any other ideas of where this place might be would be much appreciated.

Hi,
   In Derry there is a Rose Park House on Rosemount Avenue in the Rosemount area of the city. Rosemount Av. leads on to Park Ave.

I think the bed & breakfast called 'Rose Park House' that you found is a recent name but will have a look to see if I can find something older and closer to Kilrea.
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

Hi this seems a long shot but do you think this might be the place of Mary,s birth. Found this on a website
 Margaret JohnsonTradition suggests that Francis Blake Forster let Clooneene (Ashfield) and built a house which he called Rosepark, after his wife, Rose French. Rosepark House is recorded by Lewis in 1837 as the seat of the Hugo family. It was leased by Michael Kane to George Crowe at the time of Griffith's Valuation. It was then valued at £12. Apart from some estate walls there is no evidence of this property now. Townland: Derry – Civil Parish: Beagh- Poor Law Union: Gort-  DED: Beagh 98-     Barony: Kiltartan – County : Galway.

Hi I just found this conversion & am connected to the Kelso's by my GGrandfather William John . He came to Queensland, Australia from Kilrea in 1885. His father was Shaw Kelso & mother was Elizabeth Quigley. He left Ireland with his brother Robert Shaw Kelso. I wonder if the families are related?

Hi Possum100

I also believe that Shaw and Robert are somehow related, I have been researching but as yet have not come up with any ties, there were at least 20 Kelso families in the Tamlaght O’ Crilly area in the 1831 census. Shaw I think is the son of John Kelso of Killygullib and Elizabeth Rainey was his wife, I still have not been able to find any Parents or siblings for Robert or Matilda Kelso.
