      Hello Sunil Bhasin, Col. Robert Kelly was my Great (x3?) Grandfather. I would love to connect with you if possible? Our family has pieced together a substantial amount regarding our history.

    Hello I am researching the life of Isabella Kelly (born Fordyce) who was Colonel Robert Kelly's daughter-in.law through her marriage with Colonel Robert Kelly's eldest son Robert Hawke. Any information you could share on the history of Robert Kelly would be very much appreciated.
