hi , i live in london and have just started out on this family
tree , what i need is info from the censuses after 1911 which wont be released until 2025. if i had this it would give me a better idea of how the farm was disposed of. your grandfather was my dads  eldest brother i think . did he always live in england ?
when my dad did mention his family he spoke very fondly of his father who died when he was 11 or 12 i think and he never knew his mother
i think margeret [ maggie ] took care of him. he said other brothers he had moved to the states
i met margeret when i was
younger she was always known as maggie and she lived in
a cottage on matts farm she was a wonderful lady.
i dont know if i can be of any more help to you as a lot of the
parish records of births and deaths need to be researched
in ireland probably in the church in crookstown.
i will be happy to share any information i have with you.
the last time i was in ireland was 25 years ago with my dad
and we went to a churchyard where a lot of dads family were
buried i think it was in crookstown.

hi my father was henry kelly who was one of williams sons [ the youngest ]
he spoke about annalough a lot and said that he sold the farm due to bad
debts which he regretted he became a butcher and moved to dundalk where
my brother called william was born.  then to london . my father remained in close contact with the brennan family who farmed in narraghmore i belive his sister was married to daniel [ denny ] brennan . as a family we had a few holidays in narraghmore i remember visiting a lot of relatives in that area
my father very rarely spoke of his elder brothers i dont know why.
my father died age 83 in 1994.
