Goldie I have very little information on Richard, my father thinks that he was in Scotland for a time then returned to farm at Ballywillwill,his brothers Melvin,Joseph and John Henry stayed on in Scotland working as coal miners,their sister Susan stayed in a house across from the orange hall in Ballywillwill. Other siblings include Robert,Lizzie,George and Isabella Ann.Does any of this fit in with your research?

Welcome to RootsChat, Kbrown 

Is this Richard's wedding to Mary O'Hare in 1921?

Here's Melvin Kelly, Richard's father in the 1911 census.

I am hoping that Kbrown can enlighten me as I still have not found Richard in 1911
He's cost me a fortune on SP and a considerable amount of search time.
Even tried under his middle name Thomas, no luck.

I know Richard was in Kilsyth in 1912 as he signed the covenant there, as c/o Mrs mcendoo, downpatrick.
Which one of Richards children do you descend from?
