As Klondike Cornelius Would say "Ah Nuthin!"

I decided to jump the census years to see if the Kelly's were in New Hampshire in 1850. I searched through many, many Kellys. Unfortunately, no one matched my family in Manchester or anywhere else in New Hampshire.

This meant that I would not be able to take the easy way out. I was going to have to search for the Kelly's in all census years. My first stop was the 1880 Census. Since the Soundex lists only families with underage children (why, I don't know) I had to wait for other indexes. I did some searches around where Thomas and Margaret Jones were living with no lucky.

I bought the index on CD from the Family History Library. Still no luck. Martin Kelly was not in this index. Sometime later, ancestry.com had an index. Yet again, I came up empty.

I have no reason to believe that Martin Kelly was not in San Francisco in 1880. I would have to give up on that search for now.
