Does anyone know of a kellahin family living in the kilmarnock area 1850/1900?
-
1851 for Irvine shows a Robert Kellahin b 1828 Kilmarnock and wife Mary b 1833 Irvine. They had a daughter Mary Dickie Kellahin (indexed Killahin) aged 8 months b Irvine
Also in the household was Mary Alexander 58 mother in law b Dreghorn Ayrshire and William Alexander 12 brother in law b Irvine

Sorry for the vagueness of my first request! The Kellahin family I am interested in, appear in the 1861 Census. There are two Lillias Kellihans listed, is it possible for someone to look up what the relationship is between the two?

Not sure whether these are connected but posting in case.
I've not tried to analyse any of them.
I'm only posting briefest of detail because I'm very lazy!
All have Kilmarnock / Ayrshire connection. Some Irish births.
Can look again if any mean anything to you.
There are other spelling variations too, eg, Kellahon, Kellochan
This is not an exhaustive list.
1891 may be of particular interest.

Thanks for taking the time to look up all these names.
The 1891 Census taken at Boyd Street is the exact family I'm interested in.

Hello Welshgirl,
Were you the person who was looking for Robert Neil, and Lillias. I dont know if you got their marriage 24/April/1868. Kilmarnock, Ayr.
Also did you know her name on the marriage was Lilly Kellahin Mahalm.
Regards,
Jonn.

OK
I've misinformed you. What I have quoted as 1891 was actually 1901 census.
Hope I didn't confuse you.

Hello Welshgirl,
The name Lilly Kellahin Mahalm, i think is a bad version of Mulholland, or Lilly could not read or write.
Her parents i think were Joseph Mulholland, and Ellen Kellahin/Killochan, who were married 31/March/1848.
This Ellen, is the sister of Lilly/Lillias Kellahin, on the 1901. census provided by Daval.
Regards,
Jonn.

In the 1861 Census the granddaughter Lilly has the surname Kellahin, I am wondering at what age she became known as Mullholland.
I understand her father was Joseph Mulholland but why wasn't she using that surname at the age of 11? Her parents seem to have married the same year as she was born. Maybe her surname on the birth certificate was that of the mother's (Ellen) and it seems she didn't use the surname of her father until much later.
Where can I find a birth record for her?
-
I've tried umpteen searches of the census records using different variations.
No joy.
I can't get my head round this one at all welshgirl.
I'm giving up now. Sorry.
Having said that, if you want a specific lookup, just ask. Happy to try and help.

Thanks for looking Dave!

Hello Welshgirl,
I take it you have not seen Robert Neil, and Lillias's, marriage certificate 1868. Kilmarnock, this would confirm who her parents were, you can purchase this certificate for a small sum on Scotlandspeople.
On the 1851. census Kilmarnock, Ayr. you have the Kellahin, family. this is only a index not the full census.
Kellahin Robert, 67 years,
Kellahin Mary, 67 years,
Kellahin John, age 48 years,
Kellahin Lily, age 24 years,
Reid Elizabeth, age 14 years,
Mahalam Liley, age 4 years.
This index was transcribed by the East Ayrshire, FHS. by volunteers so the details may not be 100% correct, ie ages, etc.
I have checked the index on Scotlandspeople, and Mahalam Liley, age 4 years is correct.
Its quite possible Liley, was born prior to her mother Ellen's, marriage to Joseph Mulholland, and thats why her surname is Mahalam.
So getting the marriage certificate will clarify the names.
Remember also its Irish, folks we are discussing here and there will be lots of variations on names.
Regards,
Jonn.
