Individual Details

David KELLY

(Abt 1855 - 24 May 1934)

A David Kelly, son of David Kelly and Bridget Connery, was baptised in Glenroe, Kilfinane, Co. Limerick on 29 October 1854. As Glenroe is adjacent to Darraghmore, where David above farmed, it could be that the David who was baptised in Glenroe is our David.

According to the 1911 census, David and his wife, Hannah, had been married for 19 years and had seven children born alive, all of whom were still alive at the time of the census. They went on to have an eighth child in 1913. Three of the eight died quite young but we know very little about the remaining five, apart from their only son, David, although I was told by a cousin several years ago that David and Hannah had grandchildren who lived in England.

David died of "acute gastritis", according to his death certificate.

Note: I have come across Darraghmore spelled as Darragh More, and Kilfinane spelled as Kilfinnane.
