George Kellam, brother,unm,40, coal miner do
Ellen Kellam, Sister, unm, 39, seamer, do
Elizabeth, sister,5, scholar, do
Reuben, nephew, 8months, born Sutton, Notts

So far I can't find any of them in 1891.

Thanyou very much for your time and effort some of it I knew and some i didn't . It's very anoying that one name can change so much in the records from Kelham(Kellam/ Kellan) now Bellam it's no wonder we get stuck .
