Kelly of Cuilleenirwan Townland, Parish of Dysart

My gggrandparents were Martin and Mary Kelly. I think I have traced them to the above referenced townland and parish. Their daughter Celia was born in 1856 and, according to US Census records, she emigrated to America in 1872. I'm trying to find out if Celia had any siblings and if she emigrated under the name of Kelly or Serrage, her first husband's name.

Thanks for any assistance you can render.

John,

A very tardy reply for your response. Do you think the LDS record you refer me to would have personal information regarding Martin and Mary Kelly and their family?

If not, where do you suggest that I obtain this information?

Thanks again,

Mary
