Hey folks,
Would anyone have the history of the Kellys pre 1800 either in the Ballywillwill or greater Castlewellan area?  I'm trying to connect a Henry Kelly in Derryboy, died aged 82 in 1869 (https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/view/?record_id=ea0ad8543e-851809).  Family oral history places a connection back to Castlewellan area.  Have a gravestone in Kilcairn cemetary that Henry erected for his grandson John - see https://images.findagrave.com/photos/2023/112/252669118_db78e114-a6fe-4c61-b15e-0746bb2c7574.jpeg

Thanks,
Barry
