At 19, Homfray St, Cardiff there is the following intriguing entry:

John Kelly Head Married 55 Gen Labourer Ireland with:
Margaret Kelly Wife Married 57 Wife Ireland
Helen Kelly Dau'r Unm 24 At Home Cardiff
John Kelly Son Unm 19 Gen Labourer Cardiff
Michael Flavin Boarder Married 24 Gen Labourer Ireland
Margaret Flavin " Married 27 Wife Cardiff
Robert Downey " Unm 6 Scholar Cardiff
James Shea " Unm 14 Scholar Ireland
Mary Flavin " Unm 3mths Infant Cardiff & finally
Mary Ann Kelly Dau'r Unm 16 No Occupation Cardiff

I suspect that both parents, who would have been in their mid-60's are dead by 1891, as I can't find them in the 1891 census. I have found a Robert Downey, (17) nephew of the Head of the Family, at an address in Cardiff with a Mary Ann Hornblow. Presumably, then, if this is the same individual, the Mary Ann can't be MJK... although her husband's name is John Thomas Hornblow! (I'm sure Ancestry was designed to torment us!).

Regards, Bridewell.

Hi
Just looked again Mary Ann Kelly Married William Holloway sept 1886 at Newport.

I think you can rule her out.

Separate from the above, has anybody checked out the Kiely families of Limerick (of which there appear to be a fair few) ? Not sure how it would be pronounced (Keely?) but with a brogue I suppose Kelly and Kiely could seem similar...

Hi La Fee,

Welcome to the Boards!

It sort of helps in that it suggests that the Robert Downey living with the Hornblows in 1891 wasn't the one living with the Kellys in 1881. To put it another way, I made a wrong assumption in trying to use the Downey name to locate the Kellys. To put it yet another way - I cocked up - not for the first time!

Regards, Bridewell

Saved!

In that case, I withdraw my admission of a c*ck-up as it was the same woman, but yes, I think she can be ruled out!

Hi Lynn,

I think La Fee Verte has answered that one with his (or her) first post! He or she looks to be a welcome addition to the forum.

Regards, Bridewell.

disestablishment

Hello Colin, LFV. Thanks. The next best thing to establishing an item is to disestablish one.

Welcome to the boards, LFV.

OK Lynn I just know you were angling for it, so where does this fit in then?

Big words, indeed.

Hello Dave. That's the one, but you are off only by a single letter.

Hi Lynn I know, the a for the e....as soon as I saw it I cringed...but it wouldn't let me correct the heading ...

Flauci? Sorry...It was a pretty ordinary Grammar School, but I did five years compulsory Latin, which included some Cicero, Ovid, Caesar plus all the usual suspects...but flaucus, flauci? Sorry you've lost me...
