I've only been able to trace my Irish ancestry back to my Great Grandparents both families were from the Killeshin parish in Laois. I found my GGgrandfather's name to be John Malone from his son's (Michael) marriage certificate. I've found no other information on John or his wife, who I think was named Margaret, (not sure of maiden name). Also, looking for Kelly's from same area. I believe my Great Grandfather was Thomas Kelly and was married to Johanna Kelly (nee Moran). No other information on the Kelly side.
I can't get past the 1880's on either side of the family. Anyone out there that can help?
Thanks, Pat

I searched the subscription site FindMyPast.ie and found two possible leads for baptismal records for John Malone in Killeshin parish.I could not find a Thomas Kelly marriage to a Moran.
