Thanks Hallmark

Really appreciate your help as well.

I don't think this is the same Francis. I think that this one is the Cavan branch of Kells from Neddiaugh. They are connected but I am not sure what way.

The Francis Kells originally identified as a relative would have been born in 1833. This one would have been born in 1856.  Thanks for the suggestion

Appreciate your help

This is super Hallmark. Thanks very much.

That is amazing Dathai.
Really appreciate this. That tracks my Grandfather to Belfast. I don't suppose you could go back another generation on Thomas? Thank you so much

Hi All
Thanks very much. I had a look last night. The Thomas Kells whose father I am trying to find would have been born around 1833 not 1883. There is no information in the wills. I am trying to find a link with a Thomas Kells who was born somewhere between 1739 and 1799 (Son of George Kells born 1733 died 1829) who had a son Daniel in 1806 who married Martha Smyth who in turn had a son George William Kells in 1828. George William Kells birth would be about the time Thomas Kells in my timeline was born but I do not have any links apart from the fact that they were living in the same geographical area.

Thanks again for your help

Hi All
I got Thomas Kells marriage certificate today from 27th May 1873s. His father is named as William Kells. The residence is named as Drumlane / Dumlena - it is really hard to make out. It is in the Parish of Currin Co. Monaghan. The witness was signed as Matthew Kells which is strange as there are no Matthews that I am aware of in the connection. Does anyone know if there is any way of getting a better copy than the photocopy that was sent from Roscommon? It might help in getting the exact spelling of the location
Thanks
Robert
