Thanks for that. It is printed in a book "Biographical index of South Australians" so someone has already collected it as information and it has been printed as such. I don't know the original source. Carolyn

Thanks Shane,
I had wondered whether Kilkenny may have been misread as Killarney. Carolyn

My KELLY family would have been Protestant and Methodist.  In South Australia they were known to belong to "Primitive Methodist" church.
I would love to find anyone from Ireland who knows of William and Mary, who sailed to South Australia in 1850 with daughters Elizabeth (then about 3) and Dinah (about 1 year old) aboard the Trafalgar.  I have searched briefly for Elizabeth and Dinah in the births, but there were too many to search through quickly.
S.A. records show William born c 1819 in "Killarney/Leix/Queens Co." This baffles me as the map shows Killarney in Co. Kerry is in the south west, Leix/Laois/Queens Co. is in the midlands. Can anyone shed any light on this please?
Someone from S.A. Genealogy here in Adelaide has done a project on the Trafalgar immigrants, but couldn't find this family at the time.

Regarding the family of William and Mary Kelly of Saddleworth, I offer the following corrections.

Elizabeth Kelly married George Crawford, and they have numerous descendants in South Australia and elsewhere.

Dinah Kelly married Andrew Grant Johnston of Butchers Gap (between Saddleworth and Marrabel). Of their 3 children, only Mary had children. Mary became the 2nd wife of George Stephens. Their son Leonard George Stephens (who died 1973 in Hamley Bridge) leaves a widow and 4 children, also grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Isabella Kelly became the second wife of Rev. Stephen Wellington, and they had 6 children (this is my branch of the family).

William James Kelly remained a bachelor and had no children. This was confirmed by his death certificate: he died 11.11.1915 near Saddleworth. The Kelly surname for our family died with him.

Originally I thought that the William James Kelly who married Bertha Henrietta Bray in Clare was related to this family, but he is not the right one, and his 6 children are not connected to our Kelly family.
