Thanks Dathai - I'm not sure I would get any more information from the church marriage cert than I already got from the civil cert. Would it give the mother's name perhaps?

[dathai]

most churches record both parents names

I was hoping Mary might have been a witness on a Kelly marriage but I can't find one.

[shansf]

Dathai - It might be worth trying to get it so.

Sinann - I was hoping that also, or a baptism, but no joy.

[shansf]

One other thing that may be uselful - John Kelly and his wife Mary named their first son Nicholas. There does not appear to be a Nicholas on Mary's side so it may be connected to the Kelly side. Long shot I know!

[Sinann]

First son was often named after the husband's grandfather. Worth a look.
So a John Kelly with a father Nicholas getting married in the 1860s or 70s!

Pro Cathedral link is good

is Joannes John

[shansf]

Sinaan - John's father is also called John, so are you thinking this might be his parents? Therefore Nicholas his grandfather?

Oops, just saw your previous comment. So, yes, thats a thought.
