Page 5 Family reports vary from
family to family so these pages only give a brief idea of
what to expect. The details on these pages are for
illustration only and don't refer to a real
family. Records have been found of two distinct Kelly
families in the Carrowlisconnor area through the
later nineteenth century: (1) As stated above, the
enquirer's earliest known male Kelly ancestor was
John Kelly of Carrowlisconnor, who would have been
born c. 1795; (2) The earliest traceable ancestor
of the other family was Richard Kelly who was born
c. 1803. Though it is most probable they were
related to each other, it is impossible to
establish with certainty how closely due to the
incomplete and inexplicit nature of available
records. They may even have been brothers, but this
cannot be proven. The enquirer's earliest traceable Kelly ancestor
is John Kelly with whom the genealogy below
begins:
