Had another flick through Maley's book tonight and stumbled upon a name that I'd never noticed before in the CG forums or the Wiki, F. McErlean, committee member in 1896-97. Some of you will undoubtedly have encountered him before, but I couldn't see a thread here so decided to have a hunt. Wasn't expecting much, but I eventually found out that he was another pawnbroker, and more relevantly, James Kelly's father-law and therefore Bob Kelly's grandad. A quick trot off to the James Kelly thread and there's his daughter Maggie http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/4747/dsc05719b.jpg Here's the 1891 census with James living at his address, and his marriage certificate. http://img697.imageshack.us/img697/1359/francismcerleancensus.jpg http://img444.imageshack.us/img444/584/francismcerleanmarriage.jpg Does this also answer where James was born? http://s4.zetaboards.com/Celtic_Graves/single/?p=8017662&t=8204240 Can't find a death certificate for either him or his wife. Wonder if they moved back to Belfast? Edited by Dianogah, Feb 7 2011, 11:42 PM.

might be worth contacting chuck on the HB about this He's been working on the Belfast Celtic stuff, and there quite a bit of overlap in the early days with board members |

Sorry, jumped in two-footed there, he moved to Derry. At a guess, him mum died, leaving his elderly dad alone with the farm, and they moved back there. |

For confirmation on the initial, later on in his book, Maley calls him 'Frank McErlean' |

Looks like a good source for the Kelly place of birth. Great work Steve. I know of members in Ireland who will happily help out here. |

Excellent, ta. There's a newer McErlean grave on the road from Ballynease to Bellaghy from that 1911 census. http://goo.gl/DPpdg Here's a list of burials in St Mary's Graveyard, Bellaghy http://www.magherafelt.gov.uk/tourism/genealogy/genealogy-search/saint-marys-graveyard-bellaghy/index.php?page=8 There's a Francis McErlain. Wrong spelling, and no date of death on that page. Bridget's not there though. There is a Bridget McErlean in Drumgarner. But no Francis. His daughter was also named Bridget. http://www.magherafelt.gov.uk/tourism/genealogy/genealogy-search/drumgarner-roman-cath/index.php?page=3&page=11 |

Looks like he was from Portglenone originally, thats another one for the Antrim connection, it is an Antrim name. |
