Hi
Just taking a shot in the dark but its worth the try.
My great great great grandfather was Thomas S. Kelly (b 1797)(later changed to Kelley) in Peel, Patrick, Isle of Man.He married Catherine Quirk b 1791) (later changed to Kirk) also of Peel, Patrick and had 3 children, Catherine (b 1816), John (b 1820) and Thomas Kelley born in 1815. He married twice, Helen Wiseman in 1842 and Mary Jane Jennings in 1865. He had at least 13 children between the two. Resided in Nodaway CO & Polk CO, Missouri. This Thomas might have traveled from Liverpool to the USA in 1831(approx).
I would love to find out anything about Thomas S. Kelly, Catherine Quirk, their 3 children or the generations before them.
The second Thomas & Helen Wiseman & Mary Jane Jennings' children are:
Margaret S. Kelley (b) 1843 married Carson J. Harmon 1866
John Whitcome Kelley (b) 1846
Samuel J. Kelley (b) 1848
Lewis F. Kelley (b) 1850 had 3 children,
---Earnest (b 1876)Minnie (b 1878) & Rebecka (b 1879)
William H. Kelley (b) 1852 married Mary Cople in 1879

---5 children, Bertha Florence (b 1879), Ira Oliver (b 1880) Wilson Franklin
---(b 1884) Everette Newton (b 1885), & Roy Daniel (b 1887)
Henry Johnson Kelley (b) 1855 twins married Sarah Awalt-6 children

Jesse L. Kelley (b 1877) married Mattie McClain

Albert Kelley had 2 children Gladice & Pearl
Lydia (b 1879) married (__?__) Swanson
Florence married Joe Vincent
Minnie J (b 1875) married (__?__) Corrigan
Those ancestors of generations leading to Thomas S. Kelly & anything related to Catherine Quirk and their 3 children are my top priority.
