Subject: [AUS-VIC-NorWest] KELLY'S AROUND ARARAT
Date: Fri, 5 Jan 2001 23:34:10 +1000


Hi Listers,
(To Goldfields and Northwest lists)

seeking my elusive KELLY ancestors.

Edward KELLY b. c1825 in England probably Northumberland area.
m. Hannah CRAIG also in England c1849. Occupation is recorded as a Baker!

Thought to have travelled alone to Victoria prior to 1858 when his wife and
three children arrived - Robert 8 yo, Mary A. 6yo and John Joseph 4yo (Born
in Newcastle-on-Tyne) on the "Africa(n), I have no info on any subsequent
siblings.

John Joseph m. Elizabeth WHITTA at Ballarat in 1875. It is thought that the
family was living at Ararat. I have a reasonable record from this marriage
and subsequent family expansion.

Appreciate if someone could look up appropriate records to identify death
dates for Edward and Hannah and any connections to the other siblings or
offer any other suggestions.

Thanking all in anticipation

Regards,

Bill White
