David – this is long….
Yes, Jean provided great information!
I found a Catherine Kelly in the 1891 IoM Census where she is 71, Head, living on own means. I thought that this would be my CK because the age is consistent with her birth in 1820.

As far as research done in the 50s by a resident of the IoM who communicated with my great aunt, Julia Mona Christian, dau of Christian Faith Kelly Christian, neither of my CKs ever married (CK/CPK 71 “spinster lived at North Abbey Ballasalla” and CPK born in 1864 died “unmarried.”)

It is the following lines in that census then that puzzle me: next line for a new household is blank except for “on holiday” followed by Catherine Kelly 45 – “wife – fisherman’s wife,” then her children: Cordelia Kelly 13, William A. Kelly 10, John T. Kelly 8 and Ernest J. Kelly 1. The William and John children piqued my interest because these are names of children of James Kelly and Catherine Moore (George Emanuel Kelly’s parents) of which there were 14 children altogether. I have marriages for these children, but no issue info for them other than George, of course, because I am a direct descendant of his, and Margaret Ann Kelly who married Walther Griffiths – they lived in England. Their daughter Margaret Kathleen Dorothea Griffiths was born 27 Mar 1889 in Kings Norton, Birmingham Warwickshire, England. Would this be anywhere near Preston, Liverpool North or Manchester? Margaret Kathleen was known as “Aunt Kathleen” to us.

I wouldn’t want to discount this CK 71 Head as mine. The CK 45 appears to come by her last name by the “on holiday” entry – maybe…. The “fisherman” may be one of the 14 children’s children…and the CK 71 may have been an aunt to the fisherman.

It could very well be that the Charles George you mention is my CGK because I haven’t been able to find him except for one entry for his birth in 1859 the England and Wales BMD birth index and 1861 England Census as 2 years old, but then again, in 1871 my CGK would have been 12, so maybe not. It had been my assumption that he died young since I couldn’t find him after the 1861 Census.

As far as Annie Dunn Kelly re-marrying, I have no such information, but she has been the most difficult person to trace in my family history – there seems to be a lot of dead ends with her. I had Progenealogist (LDS) research her and her husband, George Emanuel, specifically, and they only came up with her birth and marriage certificates. I was disappointed with their research on this as well as other elements of my forebearers that played into these two. That’s why I keep returning to isleofman.com!
