Kelly in Rathangan or vicinity
« on: Thursday 04 June 20 04:35 BST (UK) »
Hello
Does anyone have ancestors with the surname Kelly in the Rathangan area of Co. Kildare? I am trying to confirm the correct baptism or establish parentage of my ancestor Mary Ann(e) Kelly, born circa 1839-1843. Her birthplace was listed as Rathangan on her children's birth certificates. She emigrated from Ireland in 1862 on the Duke of Newcastle, age listed as 21. Cannot find a marriage certificate or church record for her and her husband's marriage. Their youngest child was born in Oct 1881. The two most likely baptisms are Marian, daughter of John Kelly and Mary Hoey, Rathangan, on 08.09.1839 and Mary, of Henry Kelly and Ann Cassidy, Rathangan, baptised 14 Mar 1841.
Does anyone have a Kelly ancestor born around that time who had a sister Mary Ann who emigrated to Australia?
Many thanks for your time and any help offered.
Adam
