KELLY Family Group A - James KELLY & Isabella MCCORMICK

[Sandra Kelly Sawatzky]

This is a work in progress and will be continually revised as I get more info.  I've started with a series of KELLY families from the 1911 census and will try to connect them while adding in the 1901 census, marriages, gravestones, etc.  Many thanks to Lena McVea & Brian Ellison who have spent many hours studying this jigsaw!  Brian Ellison also provided most of the information taken from the Glastry registers.
