Kelly Family Tree

INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this web site is to share and gather information about the Kelly family of Devon (England). At present most of the research centres around North Devon and concentrates on the two Kelly families of Marwood and Appledore/Northam, but there is also an interest in Plymouth after about 1900.
There are a number of 'Master Mariners' in our families and so a section has been created to cover that interest.

The web site is therefore split into three sections: Kelly of Marwood, Kelly of Appledore and Northam, Kelly Mariners. Click on the blue links below to go to the section you are interested in.

No historical links have as yet been established between these 'North Devon Kelly' families and the village of Kelly (SX396816 near Lifton).

There is also family 'folk-lore' linking the Kelly's with Sir Richard Grenville.

If you have any information or corrections please send an e-mail to:
- this is no longer an automated mail link, nor can it be copied and pasted, as we are being inundated with SPAM.
As of September 2010 I am starting to amend and update this project. I have begun by replying to e-mails received since Jackie died. If your e-mail address has changed since 2003 please contact me again with any queries or amendments.
