Your husband's grandfather, who was the headmaster, was named "Michael J. Kelly"? Or maybe you are just referring to my grandfather who was named Michael J. Kelly, just trying to clarify.

Michael Joseph Kelly 1864-1936 was the headmaster at this school. His youngest son Gerard Kelly was my husbands father. Does this help? Please contact me on kelly55and56@gmail.com so that we can chat and sort it out.

My great grandfather was Michael Kelly, the headmaster of this school. I visited there in 2014. My grandmother, Ita Patricia, was his daughter.

I remember diving into family genealogy and came across Bishop Hodson's Grammar School in Elphin. The history, especially Luke Kelly's postcard to his brother in New York, really drew me in. While piecing everything together, I found myself short on time and wondered, is edubirdie reliable for some extra help? I decided to give it a shot, and to my surprise, it was pretty helpful. They helped organize my notes, and I ended up with a much clearer project. If you're ever swamped with research, it might be worth considering.
