I found the obituary of Caesar Kelly a couple of days ago and got very excited. He was one of thirteen children of William and Ann Kelly nee Quane of Patrick. In the mid 1800's they lived in Scra Volley on the Ballacraine-Hope road, ( It still stands today and has changed little) Any way, Caesar was the next born after my great great grandpa Stephen Kelly and I have been tryhing to find out about the thirteen siblings for a long time, now I think I have a line on Caesar and was wondering if anyone out there in a descendent and hence a distant relative, here goes

Caesar Kelly Ch 7th November 1830
Married Mary Ann Bawden in Patrick 24th January 1856 ( She was the daughter of Captain W Bawden belonging to the minning operation there)
They had Four children

Selina Emily Kelly Christened 10 April 1857
She married and her name changed to Camish, she had two children I only know the oldest's name Selina M camish. Later the two children m oved to the USA to be with their father.

Sidney Bawden Kelly Former master of Cronk-a-Voddy School, he died 1903 leaving Thomas Caesar Kelly, and Herbert S B kelly and Misses Minnie, May and Edith Kelly

Caesar's other two son's Herbert Caesara Kelly and Frederick Moriom Kelly moved to the USA but I don't know when or where.

Caesar Kelly Died April 8th 1910 aged 79yrs at the time of his death his residence was 2 Mineral Terrace, Foxdale though he died at his Neice's house in Douglas, Mrs. A E Rothwell formerally Miss Amy J Kennaugh of Foxdale. He was buried April 11th and intered at Kirk Marown where his wife was buried having died at age 36yrs (1872)

I am sorry for the length of this but I figure the more info I give the more chance I will have of finding family, be it distant, kin is kin......

Email me if you know this family please

Thanks, and kind regards
