Much of what I know comes from the 1901 & 1911 Census and letters shared with relatives in the USA. Surnames are primarily Kelly & Moore and where Church of Ireland religion. Charles & Eleanor Kelly relocated to Ballymoyle after retiring as school master in Leskinfere (south of Gorey). A daughter, Mary Ann, came to live in Ballymoyle and married Michael Moore. They had several children. Elizabeth Mary married an Edward Dorricott. Angelo was a sailor and married Ada Cooper. I believe Mary Ann, like her parents, was a school master in the Ballymoyle area. She died their in 1883. Another child of Charles and Eleanor was Charles Edward who married Anne Alexandra Manifold. They had several children. Maria Jane born 1863 died at 20 (26Nov1883). William Henry married Sarah Suche (no records of them having children) and they relocated to the Harold Cross are of Dublin. There is also a Eunie Alexandra of who we know little. I am hoping to find someone that knows more about these family members especailly anyone who is descended from my ancestors.

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!
We received a tremendous number of messages right before Chirstmas and many like yours did not get a response for which we apologize. We are now doing a cleanup operation.
Can I suggest that you consider autosomal DNA testing which will track DNA on both your paternal and maternal lines. Possibly you will match someone who has more information on your families.

Thank you for your response.
I have had the Ancestry.com DNA performed already. How do I get those results compared with others that are not using Ancestry.com?

Go to www.gedmatch.com Gedmatch is a volunteer run site that allows you to upload your raw DNA data and match against others who tested with Family Tree and 23 and Me (and also uploaded their data to Gedmatch). Gedmatch also has some good analytical tools.
