Biography

NoteMentioned in Obituary of Mary his sister, "of Trenton" in 1915
BirthMay 1865Patrick Kelly was born in May 1865. This is an unconfirmed date taken from an unconfirmed 1900 census
Census1900He appeared in the census 1900 at 128 Armstrong Place in Jersey City, Hudson County, New Jersey. Patrick is listed as: There is a listing for a Patrick Kelly who was born in Ireland in May of 1865, age 35, immigrated in 1873. These dates would match with Bridget's Patrick, who was reported to be in Trenton in the obituary of Mary Kelly Morrison, his sister. There are many other Patrick Kelly's in the 1900 census born in Ireland, but I did not see others in NJ who immigrated in 1873, and whose birth date fell within a gap between the other siblings.
Address1915As of 1915, Patrick lived in Trenton, Mercer County, New Jersey, based on the obituary of his sister Mary.

Biography

NoteBridget is listed as Bridget in the immigration passenger list, censuses when she was a child, and some records of her children. She is listed as Delia in her Obituary, death certificate, and gravestone, and married adult censuses. However, at this time I believe they are the same person.
Birthbefore October 1873Bridget Kelly was born before October 1873 in Ireland.
MarriageJohn H. Rupple and she were married, date unknown I have not found documentation for this marriage. I am not sure if Bridget was the same person as Delia found in censuses married to John Rupple, or if there were two people Bridget and Delia. There is conflicting information.
Research Note19001900 South Bethlehem, Northampton County, Pennsylvania, Census. Gives Delia's birthdate as Apr 1874, 4 children all living, but says born PA and parents born PA. But death certificate says Ireland. Children Annie, James, Lizzie, Mary.

This death certificate lists her birth date as 15 May 1872. The 1900 census lists her birth date as Apr 1874.
