Parish records - Kelly from Kiltimagh

[Shroppy]

I am researching my ancesters who travelled from Kiltimagh in the 1860's/70's to settle in Newcastle under Lyme Staffordshire.  In particular I want to trace James Kelly (farmer) from Kiltimagh, he was a Roman Catholic.  I'd like to hear from anyone with any information that would be helpful


Thanks

My great grandfather was James Kelly from Kiltimagh but not the same one as he was born around 1868 and died there in 1948. His son, my grandfather Daniel came to Liverpool, another 7 siblings went to the USA-never know, there might be a connection.....
