I believe that I may have some copies of baptismal records for your Kelleher family – had requested copies from a Parish here in Philadelphia some years ago hoping they would tie into my Kelleher family.
Still don’t know if there may be a distant connection.
My grandfather Jerome A. Kellher was born in Phila. in 1888 – baptized in St. Patrick’s Norristown, PA – had one sister, Elizabeth born 1890 also baptized in St. Patrick’s, Norristown, PA. Parent listed as Jeremia Kelleher and Catherine Ida Matson. No info on them after this, seem to have disapeared off the face of the earth. Have a copy of a will from a
Jerome Kelleher dated 1903. Names two daughters – Catherine Kelleher Bradley and Agnes Kelleher (remained single). Census records show my grandfather living with his Aunt Catherine Kelleher Bradley and her husband James and family, young Elizabeth is living with Aunt Agnes.
My paternal grandmother, Margaret Rodgers Kelleher married this Jersom (1888) and his mother’s sister Mary Rodgers married Jim Bradley, II and so my father also a Jerome Kelleher was living with them –
I am having a great deal of trouble find out info on the Jerome Kelleher who’s will I have dated 1903 – he is definitely a relative as I have living relative that know of his daughters – his wife and son are referred to a being deceased at this time – thus the Aunts caring for the children: Jerome & Elizabeth.
I also have a copy of a grave purchased for $5.00 from 1879 with Jerome as the purchaser of the plot and a fee receipt for $4.00 for having the grave dug when the Catherine that was the mother of Catherine and Agnes passed.
They are buried in Old Cathedral Cemetery in Philadelphia,PA.
There is a Jerome Kelleher intern there that died May 31,1927 at age 35 if I remember correctly. My grandfather Jerome b. 1888 d. May 31, 1926 prior to my father Jerome’s birth in Aug. of 1926. I am assuming that that Jerome may be a cousin since that was not uncommon for family members to share plots.
Let me know if any of these Kellehers may ring a bell with you.
Look forward to hearing form you as I am been researching since 1978 off and on.

Thanks Michael!

I’m interested in connecting with any Kelleher (Timothy/Ellen) or Carroll (Daniel/Catherine Kelleher) relatives that may still be around. I have a lot of info with connections of family who stayed in Millstreet in the late 1800′s and early 1900′s.
Contact me if you have any info!
