Re: Ann Quane and William Kellly

Frances you were right,

I misread where the family were in 1841 and they were indeed at Ballacriss, William being an Agriculture labourer.

The 1851 census has the family living at ScraVolley. it still has the 6 acres of land that were mentioned on the census.

John Quane's Will was written in 1835. It mentioned him leaving the lands and houses called Scravolley, German to Mrs. Kelly for a yearly rent of 2 shillings. I wonder why they did not live there in 1841?

Kind regards
