Hi Marg
Sorry re delay in replying but I've been over to the Island for a week. I don't think that Elizabeth Margaret changed her name; I think Robert remarried. Elizabeth Margaret Kelly of Balladhoo Lonan was buried 7th Jul 1867 at Lonan and Robert Kelly of Balladhoo followed on 27th Jul 1870 (Lonan Burial Register); There are two IGI entries for the marriage of a Robert Kelly and an Ann in the period mid-1867 to mid 1870:- one in 1867 (26th Dec at Braddan)- bride was Ann Kelly! The other at Malew, 25th Sep 1870 bride Ann Corlett. In 1870 Ann Kelly widow 43 b.Lonan was living at Balladhoo with five of Robert & Elizabeth's children (their names & ages match perfectly). The only way forward is to look at the Marriage registers for Braddan & Malew which may well give father's names, and then back track through the previous census returns. Most of the Registers are on microfilm at the Manx Museum Library. I've just had my trip back home for this year, but will gladly look up the info next time I'm over
