*I’m showing Margaret as the daughter of James although the Cloughey Pres baptism register says the Margaret baptised on 7 Oct 1845 was the daughter of John.  Is that actually correct??  If so, this first marriage could be relevant.

I've been unable to find Janie's birth or death records.  She is noted on the grave erected by her father Hugh KELLY in Ballymanish Cemetery.  She must have died before 1911 as her mother Isabella COULTER indicates that she bore 10 children but only 5 are then living.
