to determine which John James Kelly died in 1897 - we need a search of the M.I.s and Burial Register in LONAN for –

burial - KELLY, John James age 32 Lonan - 30 Jun 1897

and a search for -

burial - KELLY, Robert Lonan - 9 Jun 1897

there could be more information for him, on an M.I. or in the Burial Register.
