researching Kelley and related families.

Mary Kelley was born Ireland ~1847, daughter of Patrick Kelley and Mary Kirby(Kirby not confirmed).

Mary Kelley is shown with parents in 1860, but not 1870 Scioto County census.
Trying to find records on her.

1860 Scioto County Ohio census:
Patrick Kelley, 60, b Ireland, laborer
w, Mary, 58, b Ireland
s, Frank, 24, b Ireland, Saddler
s, John, 20, b Ireland, Saddler
s, Edward, 16, b Ireland, Pointer
d, Mary, 13, b Ireland

She would have been 23 in 1870 and probably had married by that census.

The Probate Court has marriage records.

Scioto County Probate Court

The public library also has some resources that may be of help.
