"...Harold KELLY 15/04/1903..."

Is this the birth for which you can find no record?

Where have you found the birth date?

death notice for Robert Edward KELLY    names five daughters, no sons.

I think that the Australia board would be a better site for your research enquiry.

The birth record is here:

Wasn't Harold's mother Amy Frances?

Here is an added interesting head scratcher....siblings to Robert Edward KELLY totaled 11 .Two of being
Amy Frances b 08/07/1883 Richmond Tasmania
and August Frances b 28/07/1883 Spring Bay Tasmania, 20 days and 50km apart!
Any theories?

According to Patrick Kelly's obituary he only had 10 kids. Could explain the 2 births 20 days apart, maybe only one birth and not 2.

The Mercury (Hobart, Tas. : 1860 - 1954) 
Wed 6 Mar 1929
On June 3, 1874, Mr. Kelly was married to Miss Sarah Ann Hewitt, of Richmond, and had as issue, 10 children , nine of whom are living, one son (Patrick) having made the supreme sacrifice in the Great War. .....
