William McKelvey born Killyleagh, County Down, Northern Ireland b.1837 son of John & Ann Orr McKelvey (nee McGiffert)and migrated to Melbourne, Australia 1856- my GG Grandfather.

The following of his siblings migrated to the USA:

Rev. Alexander McKelvey based his life in N.J. (married Hannah Maria Byram and had 4 children, can't find info on his last surviving child Rev. Joseph Orr McKelvey who was last living in California around 1930);

Agness McKelvey N.J. (lived with Alexander's family until her death);

Joseph McKelvey N.Y. (Married and had children one of which I know to be Jack A. McKelvey who had a company J.A. McKelvey & Co Cotton Goods in N.Y. in 1914), divorced and relocated to Australia dying here in 1914;

Mary Murdock nee McKelvey (married Samuel Murdock in Killyleagh Ireland where they had about 12 children. Later they migrated to California. I believe I have found one of their children, Gawn Worth Murdock who died in California).

Can Anyone help with info.

Cheers,
Claude McKelvey
