My Kelly family's census records have been very frustrating. Didn't they know when they were born?? Or where they were born??!!
1st found on 1860 census in Adams, Jefferson Co, NY. Pg 74-75, family 638
Michael Kelly age 38 laborer b Ireland $0 r/e $50 p/e
Mary Kelly age 27 housework b Ireland
John age 6 b NC
James age 5 b NY
Phillip age 2 b NY
M A female age 7/12 b NY
John’s birth place definitely begins with N. second letter appears to be C but could be Y. James listing shows NY and Phillip & MA have “

family 122

Nettie dau age 1 b NY Fa b Ny Mo b NY
Family 123

James son age 22 carpenter b NY Fa b Ireland Mo b France
George son age 21 at school b NY Fa b Irelnad Mo b France
William son age 18 laborer b NY Fa b Ireland Mo b France
Michael not present, did he die between 1870 & 1880?
Mary now 12 years older than in 1870 and b France? Why didn’t she give that before?
John only aged 8 years since 1870
James 9 years older than 1870
Philip married; also 12 years older than 1870
Mary missing. Did she marry, move out or pass on?
William now younger than George! But he aged 10 years
George has aged 18 years in last 10. Since he is still in school I’m betting this is a mistake. In 1900 he gave his age as 35.
