Kelly ancestors - Nass, Kindare, maybe Derry as well
« on: Thursday 20 August 20 11:32 BST (UK) »
I love a challenge but I'm just about ready to concede defeat with this line.  I've done the DNA for a few family members and have had one solitary match for my mother with one lady in Britain.  Her brick wall is William Kelly b 1856 in Nass, Kindare and mine is Daniel Kelly recorded in shipping records into Melbourne 1841, with his younger brother Thomas Kelly on board the England as bounty passengers.  Both men are listed as single, 29 and 21 receptively.   Daniel K. married in Hotspur Victoria Aust. a son born Aug. 1851 then seems to have disappeared along with his brother Thomas.
According to the match between us our common ancestor is the grandparent of these men.  So if there is any one who has the names of parents for a Daniel K. b c 1812  or Thomas K. b c 1820, maybe from Derry  OR a William Kelly b c 1856 from Nass, Kindare.    I would love to hear from you.

Hi,
The William Kelly b 1856 in Nass, Kildare.
The lady in Britain, ask if William Kelly (above) if he stayed in Ireland or went to some part of Britain.
Also if he married and her name.
Plus his fathers name please.

I saw the ship list, Daniel and Thomas Kelly, they were listed as RC.
The earliest Derry Church records start in 1823.

As Sinann you would need the Fathers name.

You say Daniel married in 1851 what was her name please.
I have seen a record but not sure if it is your Daniel.
