Kellys from Allihies, County Cork 1850s to present

Mother's name was Julia O'Leary Kelly in the mid-1800s. Had several sons - John, James, Maurice - maybe more. John was born in 1884, emigrated to the US in 1910 and was a miner in Bessemer, Michigan. Married Hannah Holland and had a son Joseph in 1925. According to the story, none of the other brothers emigrated. Maurice had a daughter named Sheila who visited the States in 1970 or 1971.

There was also a Mary Ann Kelly (my great- grandmother), also from Allihies who had a mom named Julia Kelly. We are somehow related to the previously mentioned Kelly clan. Mary was born in 1881, emigrated in 1902, settled in Great Falls, Montana, married Joseph Mandy and had several children. She died in 1957. We're not sure if she was the sister to these other Kellys or not.

If anyone can help, that would be great! I'm taking my mother (with dementia) to Ireland on July 25th - she wants to "see her family" so I'm trying to find them... Thanks!
