Kellys and Careys Rathlogan, Glashare, Co Kilkenny

Hi,

Would you be able to provide some more details?  Full names, dates?

Thanks.

Anastatia Kelly of above address (my grandmother and have her birth, marriage and death dates okay) her father was John Kelly, mother was Catherine Kelly according to census 1901 then looks like Catherine died between 1901 and 1911 and John remarried to Ellen Kelly??
John and Catherine (Kate) children

James, Sarah, Kate I can't find any trace for them apart from census. I remember my dad talking about them, he used to visit from Dublin and Sarah never married but there was Stephen Carey and a Mary Ellen also mentioned. Thinking Stephen was brother to Ellen who was John's second wife ?

To add, one of the children who most probably was Katie went into nursing and worked in a hospital in Waterford. Also the Kilkenny hurlers the Henderson's lived in next farm to the Kelly's.

Wikipedia notes that the Henderson brothers were born in Johnstown, Co. Kilkenny. Your Glashare is in the district of Johnstown.

Why not contact someone in Kilkenny who might recognize the names you mentioned?  You might email or call

Thank you. I do plan to visit soon. Yes it is Johnstown.
Since writing a reply here I have discovered that Sarah wasn't single lady, she married Carey hence the Carey name related to the farm. Anyway thank you kindly

Since posting here I had great success tracing the Kelly family. All thanks to Rootsirrland.ie. A wealth of information on there thank you.
