Title: Mary Kelly Death
Post by: MistyEchoes100 on Monday 25 August 25 16:49 BST (UK)
Hi,

I am looking for some help seeking the death of Mary Kelly (Hurly), she was the wife of Thomas Kelly. Thomas died in June 1888 in Mountmellick. His address was Moonbawn. Their son William married in 1893 to Anne Guidera. Thomas had passed by then, but I think Mary was still alive. I believe Mary's maiden name to have been Hurly as their was a marriage for a Thomas Kelly to a Mary Hurly in Mountrath on 1st Feb 1859 with William being born in 1866 apparently. Please let me know if I am wrong. If you need any other info please ask!

Any help is greatly appreciated. I am struggling to find her on IrishGenealogy and just want help making sure I have found the right person!

Thank you!

Is she on the Irish 1901 census?

Hi,

I haven't found her so far. I know William and Anne lived in Shannon Street in Mountrath.

There is one 1901 entry in Mountmellick but she had 2 sons with her.  Nothing in Mountrath

I thought it was Moonbawn, but maybe I was wrong.

Do you have any other children for Thomas and Mary?
Where do you have that marriage in 1859?
 I can’t find it but if they married then, you would think there would be other children before William.

I can’t see his birth in 1866 either.
There is one in the records but there is no father’s name.

Hi,

Apparently it was on RootsIreland. The marriage. Unfortunately I am not sure what siblings William had.

Apparently it was in Mountrath 1st Feb, 1859. Thomas Kelly and Mary Hurly. William may not have been born in 1866 it could be wrong but that is what his grave says.

The parish record - “Ireland Select Catholic Marriage Registers 1778- 1942 “ shows his parents as Thomas Kelley and Mary Kelley of Mountrath - as is William with surname ‘Kelley’.
Other parents names show the mother’s maiden name but Mary is shown as Kelley/Kelly.

This marriage - February 4th 1857 has been transcribed elsewhere as Thomas ‘Pullts’ and Mary Hurly but it could read Kelly.
Is this the one you mean?
