Re: For John Lawson
In Response To: Re: For John Lawson ()

Hi Averil: It would seem possible that we come from the same 'gene' with regard to Robert Kelly DOB 1822 Lonan. I very recently obtained the will for Robert Kelly, transcribed it and forwarded it to Brian Lawson for him to include in his Wills Database on his website, so look out for that and if I can help in any way don't hesitate to ask. I have established that RK married Elizabeth Margaret Gelling in 1847 but his will mentions 'his beloved wife Ann Kelly' - no mention of EMK (nee Gelling)! I guess there wouldn't be as she had already died! You will see from a posting which John Lawson made that John thinks he married a second time as the 1871c shows the children's names and ages match exactly to RK and EMK's family. What a shock that must have been for Ann, let alone the children!

Any info you have at all would be much appreciated.
