TOM KELLY is trying to find descendants of three brothers on the 1851 census in Lanchester, County Durham.

They were Nicholas Kelly, aged 21, James, 18 and Patrick 14, who all worked in the iron works.

Their mother died in 1852, and father, James, was a tailor who died in 1853. Mr Kelly cannot find the three brothers on the 1861 census.

Mr Kelly can be contacted at vaughan20@talktalk.net or 01325-467892.
