Mary Ann Connor
Mary Ann Connor was the wife of James Kelly. She was born in Cork, Ireland - the daughter of Owen O'Connor and Catherine Hanafin. They were living in London, England in 1841 and so it is probable that she came to England with her family prior to that year.
Children of Mary Ann Connor and James Kelly were:
- Monica Kelly born 1855, Westminster, England
- James Kelly born 1853, Westminster, England
- Mary Ann Kelly born 1859, Westminster, England
- Augustine Kelly born 1861, Westminster, England
In the 1841 and 1851 Census, Mary is living with her parents and siblings in the Parish of St. Giles-in-the-Fields. It would appear that she is the eldest child.
In the 1861 Census, Mary is living with her husband and family at 46 Warwick Street, St. James Parish, Westminster (greater London, England). Both James and Mary Ann are shown as having been born in Cork, Ireland, though it is more likely that she was born in Tralee, Co. Kerry, Ireland.
