Re: parents of James Kellyb c 1851

This is just a theory, based on 1861 and 1871 census entries plus IGI (including some patron submissions but there's nothing better to go on at the moment)

James Kelly bap 30 April 1851 St Mary's Castletown (pat sub), the painter who married Eliza Jane Costain 1st June 1878 Malew (ext), was with parents John Kelly 36, painter, and Jane 34 b Marown in the 1861 census. I believe that Jane was Jane Ritson (bap 27 Aug 1827 Marown and married John Kelly 27 May 1855 Malew) and that she was James's stepmother.

Looking in the IGI at the baptisms of all the children living with John and Jane in 1861 and 1871, the oldest ones may have been the children of John and Ann (possibly Ann Mylrea, married John Kelly 26 Nov 1844 Malew)

There's a burial of an Ann Kelly in 1854 Malew.

KELLY, Ann 34 Malew 10 Sep 1854

************************
Donna, please would you look in the burial register, and also see if there's an MI ?

Also for this one who may have been a son of John Kelly and Ann (Mylrea?):

KELLY, James 3 mos Malew 12 Aug 1846

***********************
Below I'll attempt to paste in Ancestry's transcribed versions of the 1861 and 1871 entries for John Kelly, painter, and Jane in Castletown, plus the 1871 entry for James age 20 which shows him living nearby with a cousin.
