What I am trying to do is piece together a Kelly family. I thought perhaps your Robert Henry Kelly could have been a brother to my Sarah Kelly who was born in 1877, either in Scotland or IOM. She was placed in the Orphan Home in Douglas, IOM, when her mother could no longer care for the siblings after their father and a brother drowned at sea abt 1885. Your Robert seems to be about the right age. Do you know his birthdate and place? You mentioned his father could have been James. Do you know how he died, when, or where he is buried?
Regards,
Vicki
