SEARCHING for relatives:
Looking for any info on the following :
PatricK Kiely b. 1832, Limerick ( My g-g-grandfather) died
pre-1882. Margaret Kiely ( born Grffin 1834 in Co. Kerry ) ( my
g-g-grandmother) died 1882
I have fairly reliable information on 5 of their children:
Johanna Kiely b. 1853
Edmund Kiely b. 1856
Ellen Kiely b.1868
John Patrick Kiely b. 1869 ( my g-grandfather)
Margaret Mary Kiely b. 1878 d. 1882
The 1881 census records the family as living in st George
Hanover Square at this time, and apparently John/Jack Patrick
was mainly educated in London.
1882.Margaret (Griffin) Kiely and Mary Margaret both died (
registered a few months apart) . A grandaughter of hers
remembers being told that their deaths were caused by a runaway
horse and trap.
At the time of his mother’s death, John Patrick Kiely had begun
University, but had to leave and joined the Cape Mounted Rifles,
a unit based in South Africa. He was stationed in Kokstad,
Transkei, SA approx 1889
John Patrick Kiely ( while in S. Africa ) married…
Alicia Emily Mary Holmes b. 1873 King Williamstown, Cape, S.
Africa
They had 14 children – my grandfather, Melville George Kiely,
being one of them
John Patrick Kiely served in WW1 in France as a member of the SA
Corps Sig. Coy, where he suffered a spinal injury as a result of
a fall from a horse during battle. He returned to SA, but in
1928 required spinal surgery, for which he had to return to
London. He died a few weeks later in Epsom, Surrey.
Any information on the above persons will be greatly
appreciated.
