Kelly, Edward, Lt Col, Life Guards, served at Waterloo

Hi Peter,

Thank you very much for your message.

Do you have any more information that you can share? Information such as:

• Parish of origin
• Religious denomination
• The names of any other family members

Please note however that it may be difficult to find information as the  reality of finding documentation pertaining to births/baptisms/marriages/deaths in Ireland prior to 1800 ? particularly in rural areas ? is that they simply may not exist.

If he was Colonel you could try looking for his army record at UK National Archives: http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/records/looking-for-person/

Remember to post as much information as you can with regard to the people you are researching. The more information you post, the more likely it is that one of our volunteers will be able to advise or assist you. Also include information concerning which sources you may have already used so others may further your search.

Please be patient - as our programme has only begun to rollout across the island of Ireland and volunteers in some areas may not yet be organized.

Kind regards,
