What a lovely surprise to find your post and hear from Mary's family.<br />At the bottom of this page are my links and if you click on Ancestry you will find other Kelsall stories, some of which you already mentioned.<br />Are you Facebook? I have found a couple of second cousins that way, grand-daughters of Joseph and Ivy who were Mary's brother and sister... this is me if you are https://www.facebook.com/sue.steveclisby.caissy?ref=tn_tnmn<br />I would love to know more about your family and your stories so please get in touch again!<br />love and best wishes, SueSue xxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15087301722255232731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6472221155520819138.post-69667073466927262102014-07-07T06:53:43.898+08:002014-07-07T06:53:43.898+08:00Dear Sue,
How AMAZING to see photographs of my Gre...Dear Sue,<br />How AMAZING to see photographs of my Great Grandparents on your site! I've never seen any photographs of them before! I am Mary Lenehan's (nee Kelsall) grandson.Grandma was born in1889 and died on the 21st,June 1964.From all accounts she was quite a formidable lady.I was one when she died and I know she was very fond of her brothers Bob and Alf.I also remember our lovely Aunts,Ivy,Eileen,Annie and Beattie.<br />Talking of Eileen,have you been in touch with her son George Adamson?He really is the font of all knowledge where the Kelsalls are concerned.<br />If you are looking for information on George Kelsall he was Private George Ernest Kelsall 10321 in the Coldstream Guards.He died on the 11th,August 1915 aged twenty two years and he is buried in the Guards Cemetery,Windy Corner, Cuinchy,Pas de Calais,France.His name is on the Role of Honour in The Harris Museum and Art Gallery,Preston.My Mother told me that Catherine had chained herself to the railings outside Preston Prison to secure his release for being a Conscientious Objector,but I don't know whether it is true or not.Whatever the truth is,we are all extremely proud of him and I always say a prayer for him on Armistice Day.<br />Grandma had nine children who lived and a tenth who sadly died in infancy.Of all Mary's children,only one is still living. My own Mother was the youngest child and she died some years ago.<br />As you can imagine ,there are loads of cousins.They'll be thrilled to see your photographs.From what we've been told, Joshua was a 'rum 'un'!He was a poacher,but times were extremely hard and he had to survive somehow.My Mother said that he was a skilled Taxidermist and artist as well as a florist.Aunts Eileen and Annie inherited his skill and had shops in Fylde Road and Lancaster Road respectively.<br />I'll ask around the family and see if there is any other information I can give you.Again,I can't tell you how fantastic it is to put faces to names I'd only ever heard of.Thank you so much,Sue,<br />Love,Robert.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6472221155520819138.post-30165235023864705352014-01-22T08:13:13.981+08:002014-01-22T08:13:13.981+08:00thanks you much Phil..I have shared your findings ...thanks you much Phil..I have shared your findings here http://coffeee2001.blogspot.com.au/2014/01/the-death-of-great-grandfather-joshua.htmlSue xxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15087301722255232731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6472221155520819138.post-39632956124578355462014-01-19T04:08:22.312+08:002014-01-19T04:08:22.312+08:00Hi

We live on the south coast of England so we have had time to visit a number of places mentioned in the family history since Jennet Cragg. We have even traced Hart street in London where the two orphaned sons lived. There is still a pub there from 1600's and in the local Church St Olave's is buried Samuel Peeps there is even a reference to Mother Goose at the church.<br /><br />As for Joshua's shooting I obtained a photo copy of all the articles from the pages of the Lancashire daily post. I have them transcribed in Microsoft Publisher. My problem is that the more I have been tracing family history it makes me more interested in history and I keep trying to put things into the context of the era.<br />regards<br />PhilAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6472221155520819138.post-30537925879464922592014-01-17T08:38:13.753+08:002014-01-17T08:38:13.753+08:00Hallo there...yes we all know the story of Joshua ...Hallo there...yes we all know the story of Joshua Kelsall and I must get on and tell it in my own words very soon...most remiss of me!<br />PS Who are you????Sue xxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15087301722255232731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6472221155520819138.post-64460318259730938232014-01-17T04:13:32.414+08:002014-01-17T04:13:32.414+08:00Hi sue I have spotted the classic web error, Josep...Hi sue I have spotted the classic web error, Joseph Kelsall my grandfather died in 1969 not 1936 as a lot of websites show.<br /><br />Have you traced the tragic case of Joshua Kelsall Catherine's husband who died 5th September 1920.
