Im new here so testing the waters so to speak! Trying to find some information on my Great grandmother Mary Josephine Kelly from Kellystown and her parents however I've come stuck and would appreciate any help!

Mary Josephine Kelly born Kellystown, Co. Dublin July 1899
 - father Roger Kelly - Mother Catherine Ann Wood
married
Peter Donnelly 1904 - Dublin - Father Thomas Donnelly -Mother Sarah Murphy

Children:
Thomas, Myra and Nuala.

 MJ Kelly died very young from a head injury which led to the family being split up so its been difficult to find out anything about her parents. I also cant find them in the 1901 or 1911 census.
 
Any help you can suggest for finding out more about the parents would be gratefully received

Oh you're good, thank you!  ;D

I hadn't thought she might have been a Kate! But very strange there's no Mary Josephine.  ???

Mary Josephine Kelly born Kellystown, Co. Dublin July 1899
 - father Roger Kelly - Mother Catherine Ann Wood
married
Peter Donnelly 1904 - Dublin - Father Thomas Donnelly -Mother Sarah Murphy



There seems to be a mistake here - if she was born in 1899, she can't have married in 1904.

Hello and Welcome
I can see a marriage for her parents Sep 1889 Dublin North
Rodger Kelly and Catherine Anne Wood
 ref vol 2 page 485.

It is 18 July 1889
Rodger Kelly full bach Sergeant RIC  Depo Pheonix Park s of Charles Kelly farmer
Elizabeth Anne Wood spinster 8 Aberdeen St d of Joseph Wood dec carriage builder
wit Joseph Murray and Margaret Boyne.
The church record at Aughrim adds Rodger's mother as Bridget Bremner  and Catherine's as Catherine Robertson. the Kelly's are from Ballintore.

There are 3 children baptised at Bray for them
Mary born 26 July 1897 of Seapoint Road on the 29th July.
Mary Josephine born 26 Sep 1901 bapt 30 Sep Park View
James Joseph 8/15 Jan 1903 4 Park View Terrace Little Bray

The only  birth certificate  I can see for a Mary Josephine Kelly d of Rodger and Catherine nee Wood is 1901  and gives that address and an occupation of farmer.

The 1911 census has them in Killarney
Rodger Kelly 56 catholic can r&w Serg RIC and farmer married 21 years 10/8 born Cty Sligo
Catherine Anne  45 same    born Cork City
Ellen 17 Dublin city
Margaret 17 Dublin city
Rodger Charles 11 cty wicklow
Mary Josephine 9 Cty Wicklow
James Joseph 8
Patrick 6  cannot read
Francis Wood Kelly  3 cannot read

In 1901 they were at Green Park Road Bray town with an extra child Kate age 11
There is an entry for Rodger Kelly age 19 enlisting in the Royal Irish Constabulary in 1873.
Pensioned 1898

Does any of that fit what you have?

Sorry, I should have been more clear!

Peter Donnelly (1904-1966) married Mary Josephine Kelly (1899-1934) in 1924, in South Dublin.  ;)
