I am researching the Leigh family of Inchaquire and have just connected via email with the son of a Matt Leigh via email. Is Matt's wife's name Lily?  If so, we are looking at the same family.  Matt had a brother James and his father was William Leigh.  Would your Maragaret Kelly be William Leigh's wife?  Matt and Lily and their son are dairy farmers.

To Sarah Kelly and Kevin Kelly

I am related to Margaret (Kelly) Leigh and William Leigh1.  William1 is my grandfather's first cousin.  William had children named Bridget, William2, Patrick E, James (deceased), and Matthew2 who is married to Lily.

William Leigh1 who married Margaret had siblings Edward, Esther, Matthew, Bridget, James J2, Ellen or Nellie, John, Patrick, Christina, Mary Kate, and Elizabeth.  Their parents were James1 Leigh and Eliza Byrne.  James and Eliza are on the 1901/1911 census for Rahoonbeak, Inchaquire.  James is my great-grandfather John Leigh's brother.

I have connected to Leigh relatives in Michigan who are related to James2.  James2 lived with an Uncle in Michigan Mathew1 Leigh who I have found out lived with his aunt Margaret (Leigh) Eardly. 

I have plotted my Leigh family and the Kelly connection on my Ancestry.com tree.

There is a John Kelly living with my grandparents at their home in Yonkers, NY, USA on the 1940 census. A relation?

Hi, tom....Were already intouch via ancestry.....and Kevin kelly is henry kelly's son....he lives in london...I was in touch with him...and then he stopped replying...he had info on the falling out between his father and my Husbands grandfather(peter kelly 1907)....You might have more luck with him...than me..

Ive got post and bits all over the web sites...trying to find out more on the kelly family...my latest lead is conected to the famous irsh boxer in the 1800's, Dan Donnelly... A william kelly was his sponser and trainer.. but im still trying to confirm all this....I still need william kelly's birth record to go back...have his marriage and death and his census 1901/11...but need more...
perhaps you might know..
speak later  sarah kelly..

There is a 2007 post on Ancestry's message boards about Peter fro A Ryan Gerrard:

Im looking for family conected with peter kelly born County Kildare 1907, he left Ireland to go to canada, but returned to settle in Fulham london were he Married Peggy Edwards and had 13 children Eldest called Patrick then Peter Susan Mitchell Edward Anne Barbra Kevin and Jean, If you have any conection to his life and work in Ireland it would be helpful

I added the siblings to the Kelly tree.

Its helpful to spell out nicknames like "Peggy" as Margaret.
